  • Page 5: Introduction

    1 Introduction P9500 overview The P9500 is a high capacity, high performance disk array that offers a wide range of storage and data services, software, logical partitioning, and simplified and unified data replication across heterogeneous disk arrays. Its large scale, enterprise class virtualization layer combined with Smart Tiers and Thin Provisioning software, delivers virtualization of internal and external storage into one pool.

  • Page 6: Controller Chassis

    servers. A drive chassis consists of disks or SSD drives, power supplies, and the interface circuitry connecting it to the controller chassis. The remaining racks (Rack-01, Rack-02, Rack-10 and Rack-11) contain from one to three drive chassis. The following sections provide descriptions and illustrations of the P9500 disk array and its components.
  • Page 7 The controller chassis includes the following maximum number of components: two service processors, 512 GB cache memory, four grid switches, four redundant power supplies, eight channel adapters, four disk adapters, and ten dual fan assemblies. It is mounted at the bottom of the rack because it is the heavier of the two units.

  • Page 8: Drive Chassis

    Drive chassis The drive chassis (factory designation DKU) consists of SAS switches, slots for 2 1/2 inch HDD or SSD drives, and four 4 fan door assemblies that can be easily opened to allow access to the drives. Each drive chassis can hold 128 2 1/2 inch HDD or SSD drives. The maximum number of 2 1/2 inch drives in a P9500 system is 2048.

    4 Power On/Off procedures Safety and environmental information CAUTION: Before operating or working on the P9500 disk array, read the safety section in theP9500 site preparation guide and the environmental information in ???. Standby mode When the disk array power cables are plugged into the PDUs and the PDU breakers are ON, the disk array is in standby mode.

  • Page 47: Power Off Procedures

    Follow this procedure exactly when powering the disk array on. Refer to the illustration of the control panel as needed. On the control panel, check the amber BS LED and make sure it is lit. It indicates that the disk array is in standby mode. In the PS area on the control panel, move the Enable switch to the ENABLED position.

  • Page 48: Cache Destage Batteries

    prevent slow data throughout in the cache. When the battery charge is 50% or more, the cache write protect mode operates normally. When a power failure occurs and continues for 20 milliseconds or less, the disk array continues normal operation. If the power failure exceeds 20 milliseconds, the disk array uses power from the batteries to back up the cache memory data and disk array configuration data to the cache flash memory on each cache board.

  • Page 49: Long Term Array Storage

    NOTE: The disk array generates a SIM when the cache destage batteries are not charged to at least 50%. The LEDs on the front panel of the cache boards also show the status of the batteries. Long term array storage While connected, the cache destage batteries will completely discharge in two to three weeks without power applied.
