Dot Hill Systems II 200 FC - Manual (Page 27)

Chapter 1 Product and Architecture Overview 1-7
Table 1-2 shows the configuration options for SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE
arrays.
A label on the bottom lip of an array chassis, underneath the front bezel, indicates
whether the array is a JBOD array or a RAID array. For instance, “SANnet II 200 AC
JBOD” refers to an alternating-current version of a SANnet II 200 JBOD array,
“SANnet II 200 DC JBOD” refers to a direct-current version of a JBOD array, and
“SANnet II 200 AC RAID” refers to an alternating-current version of a RAID array.
Similarly, using a OBP command such as
probe-scsi-all
provides similar
information, using an “A” designator for RAID arrays and a “D” designator for disks
Table 1-2 SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE Array Configuration Options
Internal RAID controllers 1 or 2
2-Gbit/sec Fibre Channel disks
(SANnet II 200 FC array)
1
1.5-Gbit/sec serial ATA disks
(SANnet II 200 SATA array)
1. 1-GHz drives are not supported.
Up to 12 per array or per expansion unit, with a
minimum of 4 plus 1 spare
FC expansion units 2
2. A disk array with no controller. Each expansion unit has two Fibre Channel loops that can provide redundant data paths
back to the RAID array.
Up to 8 for a SANnet II 200 FC array. Up to 5 for a
SANnet II 200 SATA array
FC JBOD arrays 3 (SANnet II
200 FC array only)
3. A disk array with no controller that is connected directly to a host computer, with no RAID array in the loop. Only SANnet
II 200 FC arrays support the JBOD configuration.
