Notes:
1. Available as spare drive or data disks.
2. The acoustic level is measured under the following conditions in accordance with
ISO7779 and the value is declared based on ISO9296. In a normal installation area
(data center/general oce), the storage system is surrounded by dierent
elements from the following measuring conditions according to ISO, such as noise
sources other than the storage system (other devices), the walls and ceilings that
reect the sound. Therefore, the values described in the table do not guarantee
the acoustic level in the actual installation area.
■Measurement environment: In a semi-anechoic room whose ambient
temperature is 23ºC ± 2ºC
■Device installation position: The Controller Chassis is at the bottom of the rack
and the Drive Box is at a height of 1.5m in the rack.
■Measurement position: 1m away from the front, rear, left or right side of the
storage system and 1.5m high (at four points).
■Measurement value: Energy average value of the four points (front, rear, left
and right).
3. It is recommended to install the Hitachi Vantara storage system into a data center.
However, you can install the storage system into an oce space but the space
should be equipped with proper cooling systems and noise insulation. When you
are installing a storage system into a regular oce space, observe the following:
The cooling fans in the storage system are compact and the high rotational speed
of the cooling fan blades causes high-frequency noise.
4. Sound pressure level (LA) changes from 66dB to 75dB according to the ambient
temperature, drive conguration and operating status. The maximum could be
79dB during maintenance procedure for failed ENC or Power Supply.
5. Acoustic power level (LwA) measured by ISO7779 condition is 7.2B. And it changes
from 7.2B to 8.1B according to the ambient temperature, drive conguration and
operating status.

1. The power current of N2 described in this table is required for operation by a
single power supply unit.
2. If one power supply unit fails, another power supply unit requires electric current
for the two power supply units. Therefore, plan the power supply facility so the
current carrying capacity of one power supply unit can provide a total capacity of
the two power supply units.
3. Power requirement for the maximum conguration is shown. Value at 100 V/200
V is shown. The actual required power may exceed the value shown in the table
when the tolerance is included.
Environmental specications
The following table describes the environmental specications for the VSP G130.
Note: The VSP G130 storage system components are not supported in hightemperature environments. Do not operate the Hitachi Vantara-provided
service processor (SVP) at temperatures of 40°C or higher.
1. The system internal temperature controls the rotating speed of the fan. This value
might be exceeded if the maximum load continues under high temperature
environment or if a failure occurs in the system.
2. Sound pressure level [LA] changes from 66dB to 75dB according to the ambient
temperature, drive conguration, and operating status. The maximum value can
reach 79dB during maintenance procedure for failed ENC or power supply unit.
3. Fire-suppression systems and pneumatic sirens can generate high levels of
acoustic noise and aect system performance. It can also cause vibrations to the
hard disk drives (HDD) in the storage systems resulting in I/O errors, performance
degradation in and to some extent damage to the HDDs. The noise level tolerance
of HDDs may vary among dierent models, designs, capacities and
manufacturers. The recommended acoustic noise level for an operating
environment is 90dB or less in order to ensure reliable operations when placing a
Hitachi Vantara storage system two meters from the source of the noise.
Hitachi Vantara does not test storage systems and HDDs for compatibility with re
suppression systems and pneumatic sirens. Hitachi Vantara also does not provide
recommendations or claim compatibility with any re suppression systems and
pneumatic sirens. The customer is responsible to follow their local or national
regulations.
To prevent I/O error or damages to HDDs in the storage systems, Hitachi Vantara
recommends the following:
■Install noise-reducing baes to mitigate the noise to the HDDs in the storage
systems.
■Consult the re suppression system manufacturers on noise reduction nozzles
to reduce the acoustic noise to protect the HDDs in the storage systems.
■Locate the storage system as far as possible from noise sources such as
emergency sirens.
■If it can be safely done without risk of personal injury, shut down the storage
systems to avoid data loss and damages to the HDDs in the storage systems.
Damage to HDDs from re suppression systems or pneumatic sirens voids the
HDD warranty.
4. See ANSI/ISA-71.04-2013 Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and
Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants.
5. Meets the highest allowable temperature conditions and complies with ASHRAE
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) 2011
Thermal Guidelines Class A3. The maximum value of the ambient temperature
and the altitude is from 40°C at an altitude of 950 meters (3000 feet) to 28°C at an
altitude of 3050 meters (10000 feet). The allowable ambient temperature is
decreased by 1°C for every 175-meter increase in altitude above 950 meters.
6. The acoustic level is measured under the following conditions in accordance with
ISO7779 and the value is declared based on ISO9296.
In a normal installation (data center/oce), the storage system is surrounded by
dierent elements from the following measuring conditions according to ISO,
such as noise sources other than the storage system (other devices), the walls and
ceilings that reect the sound. Therefore, the values described in the table do not
guarantee the acoustic level in the actual installation area.
■Measurement environment: In a semi-anechoic room whose ambient
temperature is 23°C ±2°C
■Device installation position: The controller chassis is at the bottom of the rack
and the drive tray is at a height of 1.5 meters in the rack.
■Measurement position: 1 meter away from the front, rear, left, or right side of
the storage system and 1.5 meters high (at four points)
■Measurement value: Energy average value of the four points (front, rear, left,
and right)
7. It is recommended to install the Hitachi Vantara storage system into a data center.
However, you can install the storage system into an oce space but the space
should be equipped with proper cooling systems and noise insulation. When you
are installing a storage system into a regular oce space, observe the following:
The cooling fans in the storage system are compact and the high rotational speed
of the cooling fan blades causes high-frequency noise.
VSP G130 controller chassis
Each controller chassis includes dual controllers equipped with internal components
such as a processor, single cache memory module (DIMMs), cache ash memory (CFM),
battery, fans. The front of the controller chassis provides a drive bay for loading 2.5-inch
or 3.5-inch SAS disk drives.
The controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management using Device
Manager - Storage Navigator. If the data path through one controller fails, all drives
remain available to data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller.
The controller is equipped with LED indicators for monitoring its operating conditions
and notifying possible component replacement.

The VSP G130 include an optional, separate 1U service processor (SVP) dedicated to host
an element manager (Storage Navigator). The SVP operates independently from the CPU
of the storage system and operating system, and provides out‑of‑band conguration and
management of the storage system. The SVP also monitors and collects performance
data for key components of the storage system to enable diagnostic testing and analysis
for customer support.
The SVP provides four RJ-45 ports:
■
Two ports connect to the storage system controllers (one port for each controller).
■
One port connects to the IP network of the user.
■
One port connects to a user-supplied management console PC.
Note: This product is also designed for IT power distribution systems with
phase-to-phase voltage.
Three of the four RJ-45 ports (which connect to the controllers and the IP network) are
congured as a bridge. The SVP can be addressed using the default IP address
192.168.0.15.
Service Processor
In the unlikely event you cannot connect to the SVP using the default IP address, use the
following emergency login: http://<default SVP IP address>/dev/storage/<model number><system serial number>/emergency.do. For example:
Storage system model

Users are responsible for adopting the appropriate security procedures with the SVP:
■
Applying Windows security patches.
■
Turning on automatic Windows updates or using the manual Windows update
method.
■
Installing antivirus software that has been tested and approved by Hitachi.
The only ports used at the rear panel of the physical SVP are the power socket and the
four LAN ports. The following ports connect to your IP network, the management
console PC, and the user LAN port on each storage system controller.
Note: The SVP running Windows 10 operating system does not provide an
option to disable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). If your network has BPDU
enabled to prevent loops, connect the user LAN port on controllers 1 and 2 to
an Ethernet switch that is also connected to the LAN1 port on the SVP.
Note: After the Initial Startup Wizard is complete, the SVP can be used in nonbridge mode. In this mode, the cables can be removed from SVP ports LAN3
and LAN4 and attached to switches. For more information, contact customer
support.
Chapter 4: Operational and maintenance
considerations
Proper operation and ongoing required maintenance continues the reliability of the
storage system and its constant availability to all connecting hosts.
Network access
External Fibre Channel or Ethernet cable connections are completed at the time of
installation.
These connections are required to:
■
Establish connections from the controllers to the host computers.
■
Connect the storage system to the network, enabling storage system management
through Hitachi Command Suite or Hitachi Storage Advisor.
■
Allow communication to the storage system from the SVP.
TCP/IP port assignments
When you install your storage system, default ports must be opened to allow for
incoming and outgoing requests.
Review the following ports before you install the storage system to avoid conicts
between the TCP/IP port assignments used by the storage system and those used by
other devices and applications.
Chapter 4: Operational and maintenance considerations
Cisco Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) uses port
2000 for TCP. If you use Device Manager - Storage
Navigator in a network with SCCP, change the TCP port
that Device Manager - Storage Navigator uses (refer to
the Device Manager - Storage Navigator online help).

A SAS port for connection to an external drive tray.
■
An RJ-45 10/100/1000 bps user LAN port for performing management activities.
■
An RJ-45 10/100/1000 bps maintenance LAN port for diagnostics.
Physical service processor connections
The SVP is available as an optional, physical device provided by Hitachi Vantara or as a
virtual guest host running on customer-provided ESX servers and VM/OS licenses and
media. The SVP provides error detection and reporting and supports diagnostic and
maintenance activities involving the storage system.
In a VSP G130 conguration, both the storage system and the SVP reside on the same
private network segment of your local-area network (LAN). The management console PC
used to administer the system must also reside on the same private network segment.
Chapter 4: Operational and maintenance considerations
Physical SVP connectivity requires all of the following:
■
A static IP address for the SVP that is on the same network segment as the storage
system.
■
One Ethernet connection from each controller to separate LAN ports on the SVP.
■
One Ethernet connection to your network switch.
■
At least one management console PC on the same network segment as the SVP and
storage system.
Note: The SVP running Windows 10 operating system does not provide a way
