Hewlett-Packard’s StorageWorks Disk System 2300 (referred to in this guide as the disk system) is a high-availability Ultra160 SCSI storage product. Dual SCSI ports on dual bus controllers provide LVD connections to the host. Fourteen slots accept high-speed, high-capacity LVD SCSI disks connected to an LVD midplane. Maximum data throughput is 160 Mbytes/sec. Thirteen disk systems fill a 2-meter System/E rack. Filled with 18-Gbyte disks, the 2-meter Rack System/E yields 3.3 Terabytes of storage; with 36-Gbyte disks, 6.6 Terabytes of storage and with 73-Gbyte disks, 13.3 Terabytes.

Modular and redundant components are easy to upgrade and maintain. Disks, power supply/fan modules, and bus control cards (BCCs) are replaceable parts that plug into individual slots in the front and back of the disk system. Redundant power supply/fan modules, and BCCs can be removed and replaced without interrupting storage operations. Disks also can be replaced with the system on and with only the affected file systems taken off-line. Hewlett-Packard technical support is optional for these procedures.

Special electronics and HP-UX software enable remote monitoring and diagnostics. Sensors on the BCCs monitor the disk system environment, including temperature, voltage, fan speed, and component status. Hewlett Packard’s Command View SDM reports any changes in environmental status to user-defined locations. Standard HP-UX diagnostic utilities also report environmental data for enhanced troubleshooting.

HP Command View SDM (Software Device Manager) software is designed to provide storage management for HP disk systems. This software, available on the HP Command View SDM CD-ROM, provides simple, yet sophisticated device management tools for the disk system. HP Command View SDM is supported on the following:

• HP-UX 11.00
• HP-UX 11.11
• Windows NT 4.0
• Windows 2000
• Linux Red Hat 7.2
