Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400,
G600 hardware overview
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 are modular, rack-mountable,
storage systems.
The storage systems contain dual controllers for communicating with a data
host. Each controller contains its own processor, dual in-line cache memory
modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory (CFM), battery, and fans. Each
controller also has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management. If
the data path through one controller fails, all hard drives remain available to
data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller. The
storage system controllers are replaceable.
The storage system can be equipped with network-attached storage (NAS)
modules. The NAS modules provide file access through CIFS and NFS
protocols and block access by using iSCSI protocols, in addition to the block
access provided directly by iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules.
All storage system models allow defective drives to be replaced without the
interruption of data availability to host computers. A hot spare drive can be
configured to replace a failed drive automatically, securing the fault-tolerant
integrity of the logical drive. Self-contained, hardware-based RAID logical
drives provide maximum performance in compact external enclosures.
Key components are implemented with a redundant configuration, so that the
storage system can remain operational in the unlikely event that a
component should fail. Adding and replacing components, along with
firmware upgrades, can be conducted while the storage system is active.

controller
The Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 models are equipped with dual
controllers for communicating with a data host.
Each controller contains its own processor, dual in-line cache memory
modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory (CFM), battery, and fans. The
controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management using
Hitachi 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.

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 Hardware Reference Guide
Storing the storage system
If the storage system does not receive power for more than six months, the
battery can become discharged and possibly damaged. To avoid this
situation, charge the battery for more than three hours at least once every
six months.
Note: Do not store the equipment in an environment with temperatures of
104ºF (40ºC) or higher because battery life will be shortened.
Using flash module drives
Observe the following guidelines when handling the listed flash module drives
(FMDs). The following types of FMDs are equipped with a battery or capacitor.
Caution: Power up the flash module drives using power from the storage
system for at least 90 minutes every month. Failure to do so can render a
flash module drive unusable and voids replacement under the terms of the
warranty.

Control method Read LRU, Write after
Battery backup Provided
Backup duration Unrestricted (saving to a nonvolatile memory)
Specification
Data in the cache memory is preserved against power failures. If a power
outage occurs, data in cache memory is written to drives.
When the storage system enters Cache Backup mode, the amber WARNING
LED goes on to when the system starts. This warning indicates that the
battery charge has dropped significantly and the remaining battery capacity
is not sufficient; the storage system will continue operating with the Write
Cache function disabled.
When the battery is charged, the warning indication disappears, and the
storage system continues the operation in the Write Cache function.
VSP G400, G600 storage system mechanical specifications 89
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 Hardware Reference Guide
The warning indication disappears within six hours. Even when the warning is
shown, normal operation is assured in Write-Through. Read and write
performance is lowered because the Write Cache function is disabled.
If the storage system is not charged for more than six months, the battery
can become overcharged and sustain unrecoverable damage. To avoid this
situation, charge the battery more than 3 hours every six months.
