16 Bay SATA II to Fibre-channel RAID with redundant controllers


IQ-RAID-A316F-D4442

16 bay, 4Gb Fiber-channel to SATA II RAID



Highlights

  • Full-featured redundant controllers with two (2) FC-2G host channels; transfer rate up to 2Gb/s each
  • Independent host connection modules that ensure channel availability
  • Accommodates sixteen (16)SATA-II hard drives, backward compatible with SATA-I drives
  • Hardware XOR engine by dedicated ASIC266 chipsets
  • Support up to 2GB DDR RAM DIMM modules that are protected by standard BBUs
  • Dual-speed cooling modules to reduce noise
  • SAN-ready subsystem in an enhanced modular enclosure provides daisy chaining and clustering capabilities

Specifications
  RAID
  Multiple arrays configurable with dedicated or global hot spares
  RAID levels supported: RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 10, 30, 50, NRAID and JBOD
  Online expansion by:
 
  • Adding new drives
  • Copying and replacing drives with drives of larger capacity
  Automatic background rebuilds
  Configurable stripe size and write policy per array
  Intelligent drive handling:
 
  • In degraded mode: skips irreparable blocks to continue rebuild
  • In normal operation: data-block verification and repair
  System Components
  Redundant controller configuration provides full RAID functionalities
 
  • One (1) enhanced 3U enclosure
  • Two (2) RAID controller modules
  • Two (2) 256MB DDR RAM DIMM modules (pre-installed on the controller modules)
  • Two (2) hot-swappable, redundant, dual-fan cooling modules running in high/low speeds
  • Sixteen (16) hot-swappable drive trays
  • Two (2) front handles
  • Two (2) independent battery backup units (BBUs)
  • One (1) enclosure configuration card
  • Two (2) host connection modules
  Host Interface
  Two (2) FC-2G host channels with embedded bypass circuit to four (4) FC ports on two (2) hot-swappable, independent host connection modules
  DIP switch settings to change host port attributes
 

Auto-negotiate FC-AL, point-to-point, or switched fabric

  Tagged command queuing up to 256
  Variable stripe size per logical drive
  Optimization setting for random or sequential I/Os
  Drive Interface
  Sixteen (16) hot-swappable 3Gbps SATA-II drive trays that accommodate 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch SATA-II or SATA-I disk drives
  Automatic bad-sector reassignment
  Dedicated bandwidth to each connected drive
  Management
  Firmware-embedded utility via LCD keypad or RS-232C port
  Host-side SES emulation with pass-through to back-end SES emulation
  VT-100 terminal emulation via RS-232C
  Telnet access via onboard Ethernet port
 

10/100 BaseT Ethernet for out-of-band management

  Two (2) COM ports for local access to firmware-embedded utility and UPS connectivity
  Firmware-embedded Java-based RAIDWatch® manager:
 
  • Cross-platform, remote administration with SSL
  • Out-of-band access via Ethernet
  • Centralized management to monitor and administer multiple RAID units on one screen
  Configuration Client for easy access to the configuration utility screen
  SNMP 2.0 MIBs with get and set commands
  SAN Management
  Up to 1024 LUNs (if sufficiently large memory is used with the proper settings)
  Indicators
  Onboard alarm is triggered when one of the following fails:
 
  • RAID controller module
  • Cooling module
  • Power supply unit
  • Hard drive
  • BBU module
  • Host connection module
  Module status LED indicators:
 
  • Two (2) per drive tray
  • Two (2) per cooling module
  • One (1) per power supply unit
  • One (1) per BBU module
  • Three (3) per LCD panel
  • Six (6) per RAID controller module
  • Two (2) per Ethernet port
  Module failure alert through I2C bus
  Event notifications sent over email, fax, LAN broadcast, SNMP traps, MSN messenger, ICQ, SMS short messages
  System alerts through Java-based RAIDWatch manager
   
  IOSmart
  IOSmart allows for the flexible configuration of logical drives, logical volumes and logical partitions and ensures instant RAID availability via background logical drive initialization. Fibre loops' load balancing is provided within the subsystem. The firmware's embedded intelligent algorithms, such as Adaptive Write Policy and Guaranteed Latency I/O, improve sequential write performance and ensure the fast and continuous flow of data.
  DrvSmart
  The DrvSmart utility provides an easy way to store data while keeping it safe. One of the main DrvSmart functions, Media Scan, retrieves data from degraded or damaged hard drives and handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. Other DrvSmart features include disk cloning, drive roaming, SMART, transparent resetting of non-responsive hard drives, and RAID parity update tracking and recovery.
  SysSmart
  SysSmart combines enclosure monitoring and firmware management capabilities in order to minimize the chance of down time caused by hardware failures. The Auto data protection mechanisms are developed to ensure data safety. Other SysSmart functions include the event-triggered and the various monitoring utilities and monitoring approaches combined with the powerful RAIDWatch manager. Component status, voltage and temperature readings, and system events are instantly revealed through the manager's graphical interface.
