    With conventional provisioning, it is difficult to know how storage inventory is configured or how much is utilized at any given time, which can prove costly and time-consuming. With the Sun StorageTek 9985V System, however, the boundaries of physical storage devices are abstracted to a virtual inventory of enterprise-class storage classes and resources that are easily managed, enabling quick and precise provisioning based on application workloads.
  • Page 24 Extreme Availability — All Sun StorageTek 9985V systems have been designed to ensure that the entire system has no single point of failure. Further, should a component in a StorageTek 9985V experience an outage, a redundant component takes over the tasks of a failing component until repaired. All of this is transparent from an application's perspective to the operation of the storage system.

    Storage Clusters Each controller frame consists of two redundant controller halves called storage clusters. Each storage cluster contains all physical and logical elements (for example, power supplies, channel adapters, disk adapters, cache, control storage) needed to sustain processing within the subsystem. Both storage clusters should be connected to each host using an alternate path scheme, so that if one storage cluster fails, the other storage cluster can continue processing for the entire subsystem.

  • Page 37: Nonvolatile Shared Memory

    Nonvolatile Shared Memory The nonvolatile shared memory contains the cache directory and configuration information for the ST9985V. The path group arrays (for example, for dynamic path selection) also reside in the shared memory. The shared memory is duplexed, and each side of the duplex resides on the first two SM cards, which are in clusters 1 and 2.

    500 meters (2750 feet) from the host(s). When configured with longwave FICON channel adapters, the ST9985V can be located up to ten kilometers from the host(s). If you need further FICON-related information, please contact your Sun Microsystems Systems representative.

The SVP is integrated into the controller frame and can only be used by authorized Sun or Hitachi Data Systems personnel. The SVP enables the Sun or Hitachi Data Systems representative to configure, maintain, and upgrade the ST9985V. The SVP also collects performance data for all key components of the ST9985V to enable diagnostic testing and analysis.

  • Page 42: Disk Drives

    However, many customers have chosen to administer their systems remotely. If this occurs, then the security problem should be reframed as a general network security, administration, and integration issue. The issue may also be framed as a trade off between being secure on a private network versus opening up to an open corporate or even the public internet, which increases security risks.
  • Page 43 Recently ST9900 introduced concept of RAID concatenation. The benefit is to achieve the better performance in the backend. It allows striping the data across more disks. The disadvantage could be chances of more LDEV blockade if two or more HDDs are blocked (depends on RAID level used) With "RAID5 concatenation"on V06 code and higher, you can stripe across either two or four RAID5 7+1 parity groups (i.e.

  • Page 45 All disk drives can be replaced with no disruption to the system. With a maximum of 240 disk drives total, the total internal system raw capacity of a single StorageTek 9985V system is 69.2 TB (precise engineering measurement) or 72 TB in terms of a rounded up marketing measurement.
  • Page 46 As larger disk drive capacities are achieved (such as with 300 GB), the total amounts of data which would need to be recovered increases. The recovery time increases commensurately with the amount of data being recovered. As the recovery time lengthens, some customers are concerned that if a second disk drive fails, their ability to recover their data would be lost.
  • Page 47 RAID-5. A RAID-5 array group consists of four (3D+1P) or eight (7D+1P) disk drives. The data is written across the four (or eight) disk drives in a stripe that has three (or seven) data chunks and one parity chunk. Each chunk contains either eight logical tracks (mainframe) or 768 logical blocks (open).

Volume Migration migrates all LDEVs in an array group to another array group.

    Backup Mode (USP V and VM) When backup mode is chosen and a power failure occurs, storage system operations will continue normally for 200 milliseconds. If the power failure exceeds 200 ms, the storage system uses power from the batteries to back up the cache memory and shared memory for 36 hours or 48 hours, depending on the amount of cache memory.

  • Page 177: Glossary

    Glossary Term Definition Storage system consisting of trays and controller units. Storage system Array consisting of a minimum of one controller unit. Also includes one or more slots to house disks drives. Disk that serves as a hot-spare within an array. A reserve disk that can be made Array hot-spare available to all virtual disks within an array.
  • Page 178 Term Definition Disk Slot Slots on trays that house physical disks. VERITAS dynamic multi-pathing. Drive depopulation Drive depopulation allows additional spindles to be added to drive trays that are not fully populated with 14 drives. Cache mirroring with duplicate data paths to and from the cache. See mirrored Duplexed cache cache.
  • Page 179 Term Definition Host ports DSP ports attached to hosts or host-facing SAN ports. Any DSP port is capable of being either a host port or a storage port. Disk used by a controller unit to replace a failed disk. Hot-spare A hot-swappable component can be installed or removed by simply pulling the Hot-swappable component out and putting the new one in.
  • Page 180 Term Definition NL_Port A port attached to a node for use in all three topologies (point-to-point, arbitrated loop, or fabric). Network terminal concentrator — see above. A non-volatile (battery-backed) random access memory area used as an NVRAM cache intermediate store for data between a host computer system and disk drives to achieve faster writes and, in some cases, faster reads.
  • Page 181 Term Definition Reliability, availability, and serviceability. Reliability is a measure of the likelihood that problems will occur. A highly reliable system has few problems. Once a problem occurs, availability is the measure of how the system protects the user from being adversely affected by the problem. Serviceability is a measure of how easy it is to repair the problem.
  • Page 182 Term Definition Striping Laying data out over a series of disks or virtual disks, allows multiple disk controllers to simultaneously access data, thus improving performance. Total amount of data in a disk stripe, that is, the block size multiplied by number Stripe size of data disks in the stripe.
