Scalability

Note:
Overview
The disk array is scalable to accommodate your current and future storage
capacity needs.
Figure 1 shows the disk array equipment racks.
In the basic configuration, the disk array consists of one primary 19-inch
rack containing the following:
• One disk controller with control panel and SVP blade PC
• One 60-disk chassis, consisting of two 30-drive HDU boxes
• Mix board with disk adapters and host ports
• Power supplies, power distribution units (PDUs), backup batteries,
power cords, and cabling
You can expand the primary rack as follows:
• Add one 60-disk chassis containing two 30-drive HDU boxes to the
top space of the primary rack. This provides a total of up to 120 drives
After expanding the primary rack, you can add a second 19-inch rack with
additional disk units as follows:
• Add one 60-disk chassis to the second rack for a total of up to 180
drives
• Add a second 60-disk chassis to the second rack for a total of up to 240
drives
Disk array basic storage includes disk chassis R0 in the primary rack. Add
more disk chassis in the order shown in
Your HP support representative can add disk chassis and disk drives online
with no interruptions to applications or hosts.
The initial release of the XP10000 disk array may not include a second
rack. This option is expected to become available soon after release.
