This chapter describes the configuration options and setup and configuration
dependencies and requirements for the HP StorageWorks NAS b2000 v2.
The NAS b2000 v2 is specifically designed for file serving; it offers optimized
performance for a growing environment. Storage capacity can increase as a
business grows without down time or compromised performance.
The NAS b2000 is available in two models: an internal storage model and an
external storage model.
The internal storage model ships with an integrated Smart Array 5i+ Controller
for internal storage, three 146-GB drives for data, and two 36.4-GB drives for the
operating system.
The external SCSI port of the integrated Smart Array 5i+ Controller can also
support one additional HP StorageWorks 4300 Family storage enclosure for an
extra 2 TB (terabyte) of storage as an external storage option with 146-GB drives.
Both models support up to three Smart Array 5300 Family array controllers
populated into the available PCI slots. Each Smart Array supports four storage
enclousures for a total support of 12 enclosures when all three Smart Arrays are in
use. A total of 27 TB of storage spanning one hundred eighty-six 146-GB hard
drives is supported with all options when fully populated.
