Disk array chassis
Disk array chassis are optional units that allow you to expand the disk
array’s storage capacity. Disk array chassis contain physical disk drives.
The disk array can include up to four disk chassis, one of which (R0) is
supplied with the basic disk array. Four disk chassis fully populated with
disk drives provide up to 69.2 TB of storage capacity.
Disk drives
Each disk chassis can contain up to 60 hard disk drives. A variety of disk
capacities are available; see Table 2 (page 21). Ask your HP support
representative about currently available disk drives. The disk array
automatically detects and corrects disk errors, and an HP support
representative can replace any of the disk drives without disrupting user
activity.
The disk array must contain at least one spare disk drive and can contain up
to 16. Any of the spare disk drives can back up any other disk drive of equal
rotational speed and equal or lesser capacity, in any disk chassis, even if the
failed disk and the spare disk are in different array domains.
RAID options
The disk array supports RAID1, RAID5, or RAID6 array groups.
