3 Enterprise Virtual Array hardware components

This chapter describes the Enterprise Virtual Array hardware components.

Fibre Channel drive enclosures

The drive enclosure contains the disk drives used for data storage. A storage system includes
multiple drive enclosures. The major components of the enclosure are:
3U enclosure
Dual redundant, active-to-active 2 Gbps FC loops
2.125-Gb, dual loop, 14-drive enclosure
Dual 2 Gbps FC I/O modules (A and B loops)
Copper Fibre Channel cables
Fibre Channel disk drives and drive blanks
Dual redundant power supplies
Dual redundant blowers
Cache batteries
Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU)

Enclosure layout

The disk drives mount in
