HSV110 ControllersOne high performance controller is contained in a controller enclosure. The controller is theinterface between HP StorageWorks Command View EVA and a storage system. A storagesystem is composed of one controller pair and multiple drive enclosures.

The Enterprise Virtual Array can contain two HSV110 controllers.

Each HSV110 controller features:

High performance power PC microprocessor

An Operator Control Panel (OCP) for easy operation

Two 2-Gbps Fibre Channel-Switch Fabric host ports

Four 2 Gbps FC-AL device ports

Arranged in redundant pairs

Data load/performance is balanced across a pair

Support up to 240 disks per controller pair

1-GB cache per controller, mirrored, with battery backup

2-Gbps FC cache mirroring port with device ports backups

Dual power supplies

The HSV110 controller has been modified to contain dual power supplies. The dual powersupplies allow the controller to efficiently use power from two power sources. In the event of asingle power supply failure, the remaining power supply provides the required power to thecontroller.

Fibre Channel Loop SwitchesThe Enterprise Virtual Array v3.0 uses four FC loop switches to connect all of the driveenclosures to the controller pair via Fibre Channel cables. Each FC loop switch acts as acentral point of interconnection and establishes a fault-tolerant physical loop topology.

The major features of the FC loop switch are:

2.125-Gbps operating speed

Twelve ports

Half-width, 1U size

System and port status LED indicators

Universal power supply that operates between 100 to 250 VAC (or 50 to 60 Hz)

Small Form-factor Profile (SFP) transceivers

Enterprise Virtual Array Configurations


2C12D ConfigurationThe 2C12D configuration is a single-rack configuration that provides a maximum of 6.1 TB(168 36.4-GB disks), 12.2 TB (168 72.8-GB disks), or 24.5 TB (168 146-GB disks) of storagecapacity. This configuration can contain a maximum of 168 disks.

The 2C12D configuration is available in either the 41U rack or the 42U rack. The 2C12D can

contain four FC loop switches or one expansion panel.

Enclosure Address Bus Configuration

The 2C12D configuration contains seven enclosure address bus junction boxes at 6Uincrements in the left rear rail of the rack. The FC drive enclosures and controller pair in the2C12D configuration use all seven enclosure address bus junction boxes. Each FC driveenclosure should be connected to an enclosure address bus junction box. The FC driveenclosures connect to each enclosure address bus junction box in pairs. The controller pairconnects to the enclosure address bus junction box with a Y cable. Figure 12shows theenclosure address bus cable configuration for the 2C12D configuration.

Fibre Channel Loop Configurations

The 2C12D configuration contains four Fibre Channel loops. A Fibre Channel loop is formedwhen the FC drive enclosures and the controller pair are connected by Fibre Channel cables.The 2C12D configuration can use an FC loop switch or an expansion panel to achieve thedesired Fibre Channel loop configuration.

When a configuration uses FC loop switches, each FC drive enclosure in a loop is directlyconnected to the associated FC loop switch. The controller pair is also connected directly tothe associated FC loop switch. When the FC loop switch is powered on, it completes a FibreChannel loop.

When a configuration uses an expansion panel, a Fibre Channel loop is achieved byconnecting two FC drive enclosures directly to the controllers and linking each FC driveenclosure together in a chain.

Table 4provides the locations for the Fibre Channel loops in a storage rack.

Figure 13, Figure 14, Figure 15, and Figure 16show the 2C12D Fibre Channel loopconfigurations with the FC loop switches. Figure 17, Figure 18,Figure 19, and Figure 20show the 2C12D Fibre Channel loop configurations with expansion panels.

Cable Management ConfigurationsA configuration can have two different cable management configurations. If the configurationuses FC loop switches, the configuration uses a combination of cable containment spools and acable management arm to organize the Fibre Channel cables. If the configuration usesexpansion panels, the configuration uses cable containment spools to organize the FibreChannel cables.

Cable Management Arms

When the configuration uses FC loop switches, the configuration contains two cablemanagement arms. All of the Fibre Channel cables in the configuration pass through one of thecable management arms. Each cable management arm can hold several radial clips. Each

radial clip can hold a maximum of seven Fibre Channel cables. The cable management armscan hold all of the Fibre Channel cables within a storage system configuration.

Each rack contains four flumes. These flumes are placed next to the cable management armson the left and right sides of the rack. Each flume guides the Fibre Channel cables from thecable containment spools to the cable management arms.

Cable Containment Spools

The cable containment spools hold the Fibre Channel cables. These cable containment spoolsgather up extra cable length and guide the Fibre Channel cables from the FC drive enclosuresto the flumes located on the sides of the rack.

The number of cable containment spools varies by rack configuration. Racks with more FC

drive enclosures contain more cable containment spools.The 2C12D configuration contains 12 cable containment spools and two cable managementarms. Figure 21shows the cable management configuration for the 2C12D configuration.
