Best Practices for the Sun StorEdge
3510 and 3511 FC Arrays
™
This Best Practices Manual describes both the Sun StorEdge
3510 FC Array and
Sun StorEdge 3511 FC Array with SATA, and complements the Sun StorEdge 3000
Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual for these products.
The Sun StorEdge 3511 FC Array with SATA is also known as the Sun StorEdge 3511
SATA array which will be the term used throughout most of this document.
Procedures for configuration of the Sun StorEdge 3500 series arrays are identical
except where specifically noted in this manual.
Note – The primary use of the two arrays is very different due to different disk
technologies. Be sure to read the following Overview section and the
"Comparison
of the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array and the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA Array" on
page 3
for optimum use of each array.
Overview
Today's business, educational and consumer environments continue to create a
seemingly inexhaustible amount of information. In addition, there is a constant
strain on the trade-offs between performance and cost when architecting and
deploying a storage solution. Storage technology has provided a multitude of
options to appropriately store information based upon retrieval characteristics such
as: frequency, random/sequential type of access, criticality, time-sensitivity and cost
basis.
