Scalable storage capacity
■
The minimum conguration is a single rack with one controller chassis in a diskless
conguration.
■
A small system can be a single rack with one controller chassis and up to two drive
chassis or ash drive chassis.
■
A mid-sized system can be thr
ee racks with one controller chassis and a maximum of
eight combined LFF or SFF drive chassis and up to two ash module drive (FMD)
chassis.
■
For combined block and le stor
age systems, the maximum conguration depends
on how many HNAS servers and switches are installed. Consult your authorized
representative for examples of available congurations.
■
Maximum storage capacity:
●
The storage systems can be congured up to 65,280 logical volumes.
●
Congurable up to 2,304 SFF disk drives with a maximum physical disk capacity of
approximately of 3.9 PB per storage system, or up to 1,152 LFF disk drives with a
maximum physical disk capacity of approximately 6.8 PB per storage system.
●
A drive intermix conguration can be congured up to 576 ash module drives
with a maximum physical capacity of 8.0 PB per storage system.
Flexible connectivity
The storage system supports connectivity to mainframe hosts through FICON
®
front-end
directors and to open servers via Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) front-end directors. The storage system can be congured with a combination of
all of these front-end directors to support both mainframe hosts and open servers
simultaneously.
