7320 Chassis Overview
The Sun ZFS Storage 7320 consists of either a single storage controller or two storage
controllers in a high availability cluster configuration. Both the single and clustered
configuration supports one to six disk shelves.
The 7320 controller base configuration includes two CPUs, built-in 4 x 1Gb/s front-end GigE
ports, redundant power supplies, NIC options for expanded front-end support, tape backup,
InfiniBand, and dual port SAS HBA for storage expansion.
The CPUs are Intel Xeon 5600 series, 2.40GHz, 80W, with 4 core processors. The standard
memory configuration is 96GB, 6 x 8GB DDR3-1333 low voltage (LV) DIMMs per CPU.
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 18GB SAS-1 drives (7320 SAS-2) are
used for a high-performance write cache (known as LogZilla) or ZFS intent log (ZIL) devices,
