16.3 Hard disk mirroring
Figure 96: part of the system configurator
The system is equipped with a two channel Utra 320 SCSI on-board controller and embedded "IME".
IME (Integrated Mirroring Enhanced) offers the RAID levels 1, 1E witout any additional costs.
IME is a RAID 1 implementation ( no RAID 0 support ), which also can operate with an odd number of hard disks
( max. 1 RAID 1 set ). Up to 6 hard disks including one hot spare HD are possible depending on the
system. Administration of IME is possible with the LSI Global Array Manager (GAM).
Windows2000/2003 as well as SuSe and RedHat Linux are supported ( Restrictions refer to Software Configurator )
Example with 3 HD`s:
1-channel standard SCSI-cabling of a basic unit PRIMERGY RX300 S2 with on-board controller
1. One channel of the Ultra 320 SCSI controller is connected to the 6 internal hard disks, if no additional HD controllers are
configured for internal HDs.
(Two backplanes with 3 HDs each cascaded to one SCSI channel with 6HD`s = standard cabling).
2. The second channel of the Ultra 320 SCSI controller is available for external accessible SCSI drives with S26361-F3120-E1
2-channel SCSI cabling of a PRIMERGY RX300 S2 basic unit with on-board controller and "Conversion kit 6 HD 2-channel"
For the order of a "Conversion kit 6 HD 2-channel (S26361-F2612-E4)",
both channels of the Ultra 320 SCSI controller are connected to one backplane for 3 HDs each.
All internal cables and adapters for the basic unit and for components are included.
