Specifications


RAID

  • Multiple arrays configurable with dedicated or global hot spares
  • RAID levels supported: RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 10, 30, 50, and NRAID
  • Online expansion by:
    • Adding new drives
    • Copying and replacing drives with drives of larger capacity
  • Automatic background rebuildsConfigurable stripe size and write policy per arrayIntelligent drive handling:
    • In degraded mode: skips irreparable blocks to continue rebuild
    • In normal operation: data-block verification and repair
Host Interface
  • Two (2) FC-4G through two (2) SFP host ports
  • Concurrent I/O commands
  • Tagged command queuing up to 256
  • Variable stripe size per logical drive
  • Optimization setting for random or sequential I/Os
Drive Interface
  • Twelve (12) or eight (8) 3Gbps SATA-II (3Gbps) , hot-swappable drive trays that accommodate 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch SATA-I or SATA-II (3Gbps) disk drives
  • Automatic bad-sector reassignment
  • Dedicated bandwidth to each connected drive
System Components
  • Single controller configuration provides full RAID functionalities
    • One (1) enhanced 2U enclosure
    • One (1) RAID controller module
    • One (1) 256MB DDR RAM DIMM module (pre-installed on the controller module)
    • Two (2), hot-swappable, redundant, 350W power supply units
    • Three (12 bay) or Two (8bay), hot-swappable, redundant, single-fan cooling modules running in high/low speeds
    • Twelve (12) or eight (8), hot-swappable drive trays
    • Two (2) front handles

  • Configuration client for real-time event notification over Email, Fax, LAN broadcast, SNMP Traps, MSN messenger,SMS short messages, and the configuration utility screen
Indicators

Onboard alarm is triggered when one of the following modules fails:

  • RAID controller module
  • Cooling module
  • Power supply unit
  • Hard drive
  • BBU module

Module status LED indicators:

  • Two (2) per drive tray
  • One (1) per cooling module
  • One (1) per power supply unit
  • One (1) per BBU module
  • Three (3) per LCD panel
  • Five (5) per RAID controller module
  • Two (2) per Ethernet port

Module failure alert through I2C bus

Intelligent Drive Handling

If two bad blocks occur on two member drives of an array, the integrity of the stored data is endangered. Media Scan, Infortrend's innovative intelligent drive handling function, retrieves data from the damaged sectors. Media Scan handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. For additional data security, other intelligent drive management features include the transparent resetting of hung hard drives, power-failure management, and bad-drive handling during LD expansion.

Task Scheduler

The Task Scheduler is combined with Media Scan so that the scanning operation can be scheduled beginning at a specified start time and repeating at the configurable intervals. The operation is thus hands free. Each such schedule can be defined to operate on individual hard drives, all drives of a certain class, all member drives of a specified logical drive, or all member drives of all logical drives.
