Block configuration
A block-level storage provides the ability to access and provision raw storage
volumes using protocols such as Fibre Channel and iSCSI.
A block configuration consists of the following:
• Two controllers
• One or more drive trays
• One 1U block service processor server (SVP)
Unified configuration
A unified configuration includes NAS modules that support file system
protocols such as CIFS and NFS operate across a block-level setup using
iSCSI or FC connections.
• Two controllers
• Two NAS modules for file operations and storage
• One or more drive trays for block-level storage
• One 1U block service processor server (SVP)
VSP G400 model
The VSP G400 is a highly reliable storage system that offers high storage
capacity with full redundancy to better protect data and manage storage
operations.
The storage system consists of a 4U enclosure that includes two controllers,
two optional NAS modules to support file operations, but without disk drives.
Drives are supported using drive trays connected to the controllers.
The storage system supports 128 GB of high-speed memory cache, arranged
as 64 GB or 128 GB per controller.
Storage system interfaces consist of:
• 10-Gbps iSCSI: 28 ports per system (or 32 ports per systems for systems
without drives or 12 ports per systems when NAS Modules are installed)
• 10-Gbps iSCSI (Copper): 28 ports per system (or 32 ports per systems for
systems without drives or 12 ports per systems when NAS Modules are
installed)
• 8-Gbps Fibre Channel: 56 ports per system (or 64 ports per systems for
systems without drives or 24 ports per systems when NAS Modules are
installed)
• 16-Gbps Fibre Channel (2-port): 28 ports per system (or 32 ports per
systems for systems without drives or 12 ports per systems when NAS
Modules are installed)
