Warranty Support And Services; Deployment Types - HPE D3000 Installation Manual

Warranty support and services

The standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime. You can extend your warranty
with HPE Care Pack Services. This portfolio of predefined packages is flexible, allowing you to extend coverage to the
exact level of support required. You choose the support level that meets your business requirement, from basic to
mission-critical. Recommended service levels and appropriate related services for your particular disk enclosure model are
listed on the QuickSpecs.
For more information, see the Storage Consulting Services website.

Deployment types

Single domain
In a single domain deployment, one path exists from the disk enclosure to the host. In a single domain deployment,
only one I/O module in the disk enclosure is used.
Dual domain
In a dual domain deployment, two paths exist from the disk enclosure to the host. In a dual domain deployment, both
I/O modules in the disk enclosure are used. Because dual domain deployments provide two paths to the storage,
access is ensured, even in the event of device, cable, or power failure. In dual domain environments, dual-port disk
drives are required.
Server attached (single or dual domain)
In a server attached deployment, the disk enclosure is connected to a controller card installed in a server. Several
models of controller cards are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the QuickSpecs
for the disk enclosure.
Controller enclosure attached (single or dual domain)
In a controller enclosure attached deployment, the disk enclosure is connected to a rack-mounted array controller
enclosure. The controller enclosure is then connected to the server or network. Several models of array controller
enclosures are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk
enclosure.
