7320 Controller Hardware Overview
Memory can be upgraded to 144GB using 9 x 8GB DDR3-1333 LV DIMMs per CPU (for a
total of 18 x 8GB for two CPUs). Earlier versions of the 7320 controller included 24GB (base),
48GB, or 72GB memory options. The clustered configuration simply uses two servers and a
cluster card in each server for a heartbeat connection between the servers.
All user-accessible storage is provided by one to six disk shelves that are external to the server
(s). RAID functions are managed by software. Solid state SAS-1 drives (7320 SAS-2) are used
for a high-performance write cache (known as LogZilla) or ZFS intent log (ZIL) devices, and
are used in place of up to four of the 24 drives in a disk shelf. The remaining 20 drives are
available for storage.
Refer to the product site at https://www.oracle.com/storage/nas/index.html for the most
recent component specification.
The 7320 is a SAS-2 (Serial Attached SCSI 2.0) device that consists of an HBA, disk shelf, and
disks. The SAS-2 storage fabric supports a greater number of targets, greater bandwidth, higher
reliability, and bigger scale than the SAS-1 fabric. For information about supported disks and
capacities, refer to the Oracle Systems Handbook.
Standalone Controller Configuration - The standalone controller base configuration is
96GB RAM, 2x2.4GHz Quad-Core processors, one external SAS HBA, and four 10/100/1000
Ethernet ports.
The following table describes base configurations for the 7320.
