Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G200
hardware overview
The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G200 is a modular, rack-mountable
storage array that delivers high performance, high reliability, and flash-
accelerated scalability.
The storage system contain dual controllers, each controller contains its own
processor, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory
(CFM), battery, fans and iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules. Each
controller also has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management. If
the data path through one controller fails, all data drives remain available to
data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller.
All storage system models allow defective drives to be replaced without the
interruption of data availability to hosts. A hot spare drive can be configured
to replace a failed drive automatically, securing the fault-tolerant integrity of
the logical drives. Self-contained, hardware-based RAID logical drives provide
maximum performance in compact external enclosures.
Essential hardware components are implemented with a redundant
configuration so that the storage system can remain operational if a
component fails. Adding and replacing components, along with firmware
upgrades, can be conducted while the storage system is active.
