Single Domain Cabling Diagrams With D6000 Disk Enclosures - HP StoreEasy 1000 Getting Started Manual

When connecting disk enclosures to the StoreEasy system, consider the following guidelines:
In a single domain configuration, the secondary I/O modules on the D6000 are not used, so
they might or might not be installed. The cabling diagrams in this section show the secondary
I/O modules are not installed.
For single domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by
the P441 or P841 controller are 1 D6000, 8 D2000s, or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
For dual domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the
P441 controller are 8 D2000 or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
For dual domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the
P841 controller are 1 D6000, 8 D2000s, or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
NOTE:
◦
The maximums listed are based on the number of drives per controller. Any StoreEasy
system could have additional or alternate controllers installed, which would affect the
overall number of supported disk enclosures. The maximum number of enclosures that
can be connected to a controller is eight.
◦
The P441 or P841 controllers support:

In the cabling diagrams for the D2000/D3000 disk enclosure, the D2600 disk enclosure is
used. Be aware that the cabling configuration is exactly the same for all D2000/D3000 disk
enclosures.
The D6000 disk enclosure does not support the use of SAS daisy chains; the D2000/D3000
disk enclosures supports SAS daisy chains. In a SAS daisy chain, the D2000/D3000 disk
enclosures are connected to each other — I/O module A from each disk enclosure is
connected together and I/O module B of each disk enclosure is connected together.
Only supported, documented cabling configurations are shown. Only cabling configurations
shown in this document or in related D2000/D3000 or D6000 documentation are supported
configurations.
CAUTION:
controllers in the StoreEasy system to the same disk enclosure; this is an unsupported
configuration and might result in data loss. If the StoreEasy system is configured incorrectly, and
you attempt to use Pool Manager, Pool Manager will detect the configuration and display an error
message. The controllers can be connected to different disk enclosures.
