Unified Configuration; Vsp N400 Model - Hitachi VSP N400 Hardware Reference Manual

Unified configuration

A unified configuration includes embedded NAS modules that support file system protocols
such as CIFS and NFS and operate across a block-level setup using iSCSI or FC
connections.
Two controllers
■
Two NAS modules for file operations and storage
■
One or more drive trays for block-level storage
■
One 1U block service processor server (SVP)

VSP N400 model

The VSP N400 is a highly reliable storage system that offers high storage capacity with full
redundancy to better protect data and manage storage operations.
The storage system consists of a 4U enclosure that includes two controllers and two NAS
modules to support file operations. Drives are supported using drive trays connected to the
controllers. The maximum number of drives supported is 384 (480 with dense intermix drive
tray).
The storage system supports 128 GB of high-speed cache memory. The DIMMs are arranged
as 64 GB per controller.
Storage system interfaces consist of:
10-Gbps iSCSI: 28 ports per system (or 32 ports per systems for systems without drives
■
or 12 ports per systems when NAS Modules are installed)
10-Gbps iSCSI (Copper): 28 ports per system (or 32 ports per systems for systems
■
without drives or 12 ports per systems when NAS Modules are installed)
8-Gbps Fibre Channel: 56 ports per system (or 64 ports per systems for systems without
■
drives or 24 ports per systems when NAS Modules are installed)
16-Gbps Fibre Channel (2-port): 28 ports per system (or 32 ports per systems for systems
■
without drives or 12 ports per systems when NAS Modules are installed)
16-Gbps Fibre Channel (4-port): 56 ports per system (or 64 ports per systems for systems
■
without drives or 24 ports per systems when NAS Modules are installed)
32-Gbps Fibre Channel (4-port): 56 ports per system (or 64 ports per systems for systems
■
without drives or 24 ports per systems when NAS Modules are installed)
