1.1.1 Sun StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC Array
Configurations
Sun StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC arrays can be used in the following configurations:
■ Single controller configuration. A RAID array can be configured with a single
controller in a non-redundant configuration.
■ A RAID array with two controllers. A RAID array can be configured with two
controllers to provide full redundancy.
■ An expansion unit. An expansion unit consists of a chassis with disk drives and
I/O expansion modules. The expansion unit does not include an I/O controller
module. The expansion unit connects to and is managed by a RAID array
■ A Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD) array. The JBOD array connects to, and is
managed by, a host server. Only the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD is supported.
See “Using a Standalone JBOD Array (Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array Only)” on
page B-1 for detailed information about using Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays.
