Attachment option (or feature)
upgrades for the FAStT600
2-Gbps connection only
Clustering is a means of sharing array groups among controllers to provide
redundancy of controllers and servers. This redundancy is important if a hardware
component fails. If a hardware component failure occurs in a cluster, another server
takes ownership of the array group.
Clustering requires software specific to your operating system. For more information
about clustering, go to the following Web site:
www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/nos/cert.shtml
After you unpack the storage server, verify that you have the following items:
Hardware
IBM FAStT600 storage server comes with the following components:
v RAID controllers
– 2 controllers on Model 60U/60X
– 1 controller on Model 6LU/6LX
v Power supplies
– 2 power supplies on Model 60U/60X
– 1 power supply on Model 6LU/6LX
v Power cords
– Two power cords on Model 60U/60X
– One power cord on Model 6LU/6LX
v Two fan units
RAID controllers
v Technology and interfaces:
– Fibre Channel: 40-pin fibre-channel
disk drives
– Fibre Channel interface:
- For Model 60U/60X, six small
form-factor pluggable (SFP)
modules for incoming and
outgoing fibre-channel cables
(three SFPs on each RAID
controller).
- For Model 6LU/6LX, four SFP
modules for incoming
fibre-channel cables (two SFPs on
each RAID controller).
– Two 2-Gbps fibre-channel host-side
connections per controller
