virtualization engine in the Sun StorEdge 6960 or 6960SL system provides physical access to half of the underlying Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays. The virtualization engine pairs offer two I/O paths to individual StorEdge T3+ arrays. The virtualization engine uses virtual and physical device map synchronization. If a virtualization engine fails, the second virtualization engine of the pair maintains the I/O availability.
Page 46: Ethernet Hub
The following features are available on a Sun StorEdge 3900 series system once the volume slicing feature has been enabled: LUN/Volume slicing—This enables you to create up to 16 virtual drives from physical LUNs on a Sun StorEdge T3+ array partner group.
Page 47: Sun Storedge Expansion Cabinet
The switches are paired to provide redundancy. Two switches are used in each Sun StorEdge 3910, 3960, 6910SL, and 6960SL systems and four switches are used in each Sun StorEdge 6910 and 6960 systems. Each switch is connected, through the Ethernet hub, to the service network for management and service from the Storage Service Processor.

Page 135: Fault Detection And Isolation Overview
C H A P T E R Fault Detection and Isolation Overview This chapter provides a brief overview of the functionality provided when using the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software to perform fault detection and isolation on the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series subsystems. For detailed instructions on configuring and using the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment, refer to the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment User’s Guide.
Page 136: Fault Detection
Fault Detection The Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software running on the Storage Service Processor collects and evaluates information about devices out-of-band to all storage devices in the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series cabinet. One way in which the Storage Service Processor can have access to the in-band diagnostic information is to have the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software running on the customer host that relays information to the Storage Service Processor so that it can send the information to Sun service for monitoring purposes.
Page 137: Remote Monitoring
If you do not want any connection between the Storage Service Processor and the host servers, a dedicated workstation can be attached to the Storage Service Processor. The Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software on the Storage Service Processor that is configured as a master sends the messages to that resource. This solution requires you to do both of the following: Provide a full-time person to monitor the workstation Report serviceable action items to Sun in a timely manner to comply with the...
Page 138: Security
Security The Sun StorEdge Remote Response service provides remote monitoring and serviceability. Sun provides as safe an environment as possible for its Sun StorEdge Remote Response service through the use of security software installed on the Storage Service Processor. Sun uses Secure SHell (SSH) software for the connection between the dial-up line and the Storage Service Processor, which adds encryption and some authentication.
