Silicon Graphics InfiniteStorage 6120 User Manual page 14

Flexible configurations along with the intermix of SATA and SAS drives within the same
enclosure is supported. However, for performance and reliability reasons, there are best-practice
guidelines.
• Optional SATAssure data protection
SATAssure technology is designed to improve the reliability of enterprise SATA drives and to
ensure that data integrity is always maintained for all I/O operations.
• Partial rebuild
This feature reduces rebuild times by updating only the data that has changed while the drive
was down.
• Hot-swappable and redundant components
Adhering to enterprise RAS standard, almost all hardware components–such as drives,
controllers, power cooling modules, and drive expander module (DEM) cards–are redundant
and hot-swappable.
• Hot spares
The unit supports as many hot spares as desired and they can be allocated as global hot spares
or assigned to a specific RAID set.
• Comprehensive, centralized management capability
The InfiniteStorage 6120 provides a wide range of management capabilities via a secured
command line user interface (CLUI): configuration management, performance management,
and firmware update management.
• Management options via RS-232 and Ethernet (SSH)
A RS-232 port and Ethernet port are included to provide local and remote management
capabilities.
