Product Overview
This chapter describes the configuration options and setup and configuration
dependencies and requirements for the HP StorageWorks NAS b2000 v2.
Configuration Options
1
The NAS b2000 v2 is specifically designed for file serving; it offers optimized
performance for a growing environment. Storage capacity can increase as a
business grows without down time or compromised performance.
The NAS b2000 is available in two models: an internal storage model and an
external storage model.
The internal storage model ships with an integrated Smart Array 5i+ Controller
for internal storage, three 146-GB drives for data, and two 36.4-GB drives for the
operating system.
The external SCSI port of the integrated Smart Array 5i+ Controller can also
support one additional HP StorageWorks 4300 Family storage enclosure for an
extra 2 TB (terabyte) of storage as an external storage option with 146-GB drives.
Both models support up to three Smart Array 5300 Family array controllers
populated into the available PCI slots. Each Smart Array supports four storage
enclousures for a total support of 12 enclosures when all three Smart Arrays are in
use. A total of 27 TB of storage spanning one hundred eighty-six 146-GB hard
drives is supported with all options when fully populated.

Product Overview
Managing the NAS b2000 v2
The NAS b2000 v2 is configured at the factory with default system settings and
with the NAS operating system installed. Storage, however, is not pre-configured,
allowing the NAS administrator to tailor the organization and configuration of the
storage to specific environmental needs. Refer to the “Storage Management
Overview” section later in this chapter for more information.
The NAS administrator uses the Array Configuration Utility (ACU) to manage the
hardware storage and uses Windows Logical Disk Manager (LDM) to manage the
logical storage.
