Chapter 1 Overview of the Thunder 9580™ V Series Subsystem
The Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem is a high-performance,
medium-capacity storage array with added features designed to reduce the possibility of
data loss due to the failure of any single component. Disk array installation and setup are
simplified using the Resource Manager 9500 program (optionally available). Many parts are
replaceable while the disk array is online. Cache memory has a battery backup to preserve
cache contents in the event of a power failure. For information regarding model types, see
section 1.2.

This chapter includes the following:

„ Overview Features
„ Rack-Mount Model

1.1 Overview Features

The following Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9580™ V Series features are discussed in
this section:
„ High Data Availability

„ Connectivity
„ Enhanced Data Accessibility
„ Scalability

„ Performance Reporting and Monitoring

„ Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability
„ Hitachi Freedom SAN™ and Hitachi Freedom Data Networks™

„ Hitachi Freedom NAS™ and HDS-NetApp NAS Enterprise Gateways

Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9580™ V Series User and Reference Guide 1
1.1.1 High Data Availability

The 9580V is designed for high performance and protection of user data. See section 1.1.6
for additional information on the reliability and availability features of the Hitachi Thunder
9580™ V Series subsystem.

1.1.2 Connectivity

The Hitachi Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem provides connectivity to most open systems
through a standard Fibre Channel interface.
„ With the Fibre Channel connection, the 9580V subsystem can transfer data between the
host computer and the subsystem at a maximum speed of 200 MB/sec. The subsystem
can be located up to 300 meters from the host.

„ The 9580V subsystem enables you to construct a system which can connect up to 126
fibre channel devices by using the fibre channel interface and connecting the fibre-
channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL) and the fibre channel switch (Fabric).

„ When the system is configured to connect multiple hosts, a function is provided which
rejects a boot by any host except a specified host. This function can prevent access from
an illegal host.

1.1.3 Enhanced Data Accessibility

The 9580V supports command tag queuing, multi-initiator I/O, and most industry-standard
middleware products providing host fail-over capability, I/O path fail-over support, and
logical volume management. The 9580V also has many features that increase data
accessibility and enable continuous user data access.

„ FlashAccess 9500V allows a LUN to reside in cache memory for fastest possible access.
„ LUNs can be created to suit customer needs using the Resource Manager 9500V.
„ LUN Security 9500V allows the 9500V to control host access to LUNs by host Worldwide
Name. Up to 128 Worldwide Names per port can be supported.
„ Up to 2 GBs (one pair of 512 MB DIMMs) of cache memory can be installed in each
controller (or up to 4 GBs per subsystem) to improve I/O performance.
„ ShadowImage 9500V enables you to maintain subsystem-internal copies of all user data
on the Thunder 9580™ V Series storage subsystem for purposes such as data backup or
duplication.

2 Chapter 1 Overview of the Thunder 9580™ V Series Subsystem

1.1.4 Scalability

The architecture of the 9580V enables the user to scale the subsystem to meet a wide range
of capacity and performance requirements.
„ You can construct a variety of systems; for example, a system with 14 disk drives can be
configured using a single RKH, or a more complex system can be set up using the
maximum of 449 disk drives, expanded by connecting up to 30 RKAs to the RKH.
„ Up to 15 spare disks can be set up and mounted in any location. Use the system
effectively by mounting each spare disk in a disk drive slot left unused due to system
construction.

Note: Some disk drive slots cannot be used for spare disk. For additional information,
contact Hitachi Data Systems Customer Support.

„ From the host computer, the subsystem can be used as a single large-scale disk drive or
as 2048 logical disks (LUs) (maximum).

1.1.5 Performance Reporting and Monitoring

The Resource Manager 9500V program provides the capability to either monitor the disk
array in real time or to collect historical data regarding the performance of the disk array.

Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9580™ V Series User and Reference Guide 3
1.1.6 Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability

The 9580V subsystem is not expected to fail in any way that would interrupt user access to
data. The 9580V can sustain single component failures and still continue to provide full
access to all stored user data.

Note: While access to user data will not normally be compromised, the failure of any single
key component may degrade performance.

The reliability, availability, and serviceability features of the 9580V subsystem include:
„ High-Availability capability. The 9580V subsystem provides high-availability capability
for all critical components. The 9580V uses component and function redundancy to
provide high availability for many subsystem components.
The Controller of the Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem increases data reliability by
adding original 8-byte data assurance codes to data from a host computer by
automatically generating them, writing them in the disk drive together with the data,
and checking them when reading the data. On the data bus in the controller, the
automatic generation of the data assurance codes and the check are executed to
enhance data reliability in data distribution/concentration control, peculiar to the disk
array.
Up to 15 spare disks can be specified per subsystem; this function monitors the potential
disk failure. Before failure occurs, the data copy operation can be automatically
performed in the background. The dynamic sparing feature enables the subsystem to
replace the spare disk due to redundancy (excluding RAID 0 configuration) and provides
high reliability.
„ Redundant power supply systems. Each 9580V unit has a set of two power supplies.
Each power supply can provide power for the entire subsystem in the unlikely event of
power supply failure. The power supplies of each set can be connected across power
boundaries so that each set can continue to provide power if a power outage occurs.
Each unit of the 9580V can sustain the loss of a single power supply and still continue

2.2.3.5 Nickel-Hydride Rechargeable Battery Instructions

These instructions explain what you must observe when you use a nickel-hydride
rechargeable battery (hereafter it is referred to as the battery). If you use the battery
incorrectly, it can overheat ignite, burst, or explode, damaging and deteriorating its
performance/life. Read and follow the instructions below:

Danger

1. Do not disassemble the case; do not modify it or peel off the label. There are high
voltage parts inside: if you attempt any of these actions, this can result in electrical
shock or burning.
2. Do not disassemble the battery; this can cause short circuits inside or outside of the
battery. If the components are exposed to the air, the battery can overheat, burst or
ignite. Disassembling the battery can expose you to alkaline solution, which can be
dangerous.
3. Do not cut the output cable. Do not modify the connector. If you attempt any of these
actions, an electrical shock or burn can result. A short-circuit may cause abnormal
chemical reactions inside the battery which leads to overheating, bursting or ignition.
4. Follow the instructions when you recharge the battery pack. If you recharge it in a way
different from specified here, it may cause the following problems: The battery may
become charged excessively; excessive current may be produced; or the battery cannot
be recharged. As a result, the battery may leak, become overheated, burst, or ignite.
5. Do not use excessive force when you connect the battery pack to the charger or other
devices. If you cannot connect it easily, check that the positive and negative positions
are correct for the connector. If you connect the battery in reverse, it will be charged
incorrectly and abnormal chemical reactions may occur inside. As a result, the battery
may become overheated, burst or ignite.

12 Chapter 2 Planning for Installation and Operation

 6. Do not connect the battery to a power receptacle. If you apply an excessive amount of
voltage to the battery, it may produce excessive current making the battery overheat,
burst or ignite.
7. Do not use or leave the battery where the temperature can become high, such as, near a
fire or a heating element. High temperatures can damage the battery's separator, which
may cause short circuit, making it overheat, burst or ignite.
8. Do not incinerate or heat the battery pack. If you do so, the insulator may melt, the
safety fuse/mechanism may be damaged, or the electrolyte may gush out. As a result,
the battery can burst, explode or ignite.
9. Do not connect the negative terminal to the positive with metal wire. Do not carry or
store the battery with other metal parts. This can cause a short circuit or produce an
excessive current which can cause the battery to leak, overheat, burst or ignite.

10. Do not let the battery become wet by soaking it in the water or seawater. If the battery
becomes wet, a short circuit can occur and an excessive amount of current can be
produced, causing abnormal chemical reactions inside. As a result, the battery may
become overheated, burst or ignite.

11. Do not nail or hammer the battery. The battery may be broken or dented and a short
circuit may occur inside. As a result, the battery may become overheated, burst or
ignite.

12. Do not solder directly to the battery. If you do so, heat will melt the insulator and
damage the safety fuse/mechanism. As a result, the battery may leak or may become
overheated, burst or ignite.

Warning

13. If you find anything strange or unusual with the battery when you use/carry/store it,
remove the battery from the device and stop using it. For example, strange smells,
strange colors, or deformation are a sign you must stop using the battery.

14. If it takes longer than the specified time to complete recharging, stop recharging the
battery; otherwise, the battery may become overheated, burst or ignite.

If the battery leaks and gets into your eyes, immediately flush your eyes with clean water
(tap water) and do not rub your eye. Visit the doctor immediately. If you do not seek any
treatment for your eyes, problems may occur later. Because the battery uses highly
concentrated alkaline as electrolyte, it can burn; you may lose your sight if it makes
contacts your eyes. If the battery's liquid contacts your skin or eyes, you must flush them
with plenty of clean water and visit a doctor at once.

4.2 Redundant Power Supplies
Each 9580V unit is powered by its own set of redundant power supplies, and each power
supply is able to provide power for the entire RKH or RKA unit, should it become necessary.
Because of this redundancy, the Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem can sustain the loss of
multiple power supplies and still continue operation. To make use of this capability, the two
power supplies of each 9580V unit should be connected either to dual power sources or to
different power panels, so if there is a power failure on one of the sources, the Thunder
9580™ V Series subsystem can continue full operations using power from the alternate
source.

4.3 Fibre Channel Interface

The Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem supports open system operations. The Thunder 9580™
V Series subsystem supports up to 8 fibre-channel ports. The 9580V Fibre Channel interface
is capable of operating at data transfer speeds of up to 200 MB/sec. The 9580V supports
shortwave multimode optical cables. With these shortwave fibre channel cards, the 9580V
subsystem can be located up to 300 meters from the open-system host.

32 Chapter 4 Subsystem Architecture and Components

4.4 Array Frame

This section includes specification information about the 9580V rack-mount model array
frames.

Each RKA unit contains the physical disk drives, including the disk array groups and the
dynamic spare disk drives. Each rack frame has dual AC power plugs, which should be
attached to two different power sources or power panels. The 9580V can be configured with
1 RKH and up to 30 RKA units for a total of 449 GB disk drives at a maximum of 64.0 Tbytes
RAID0 (using the 146 G disk drive).

4.5 Disk Array Groups

The RAID group is the basic unit of storage capacity for the Thunder 9580™ V Series
subsystem. All disk drives in a RAID group must have the same logical capacity. When a RAID
group is configured with drives of different capacity, the RAID group is configured by
assuming the minimum capacity of the drives.

The 9580V supports several different RAID levels.

Note: Details of the storage capacities, depending on the RAID level and subsystem
configuration, are shown in Appendix E List of Storage Capacities Corresponding to RAID
Levels and Configurations.

4.6 Service Processor (SVP)

The Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem is controlled by the service processor (SVP). The SVP
is integrated into the controller frame and is accessed through the Resource Manager 9500V
program and service utilities. The SVP enables Hitachi Data Systems representatives to
configure, maintain, and upgrade the 9580V subsystem.

5.1 New 9580V Features and Capabilities

The Hitachi Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem offers the following new or improved features
and capabilities, which distinguish the 9580V subsystem from the 9200 subsystem:

„ Up to 15 spare disks installable

„ 2048 LUNs maximum

„ 90 RAID groups maximum

„ The drive interface supports 2 GBs fibre channel.
„ A maximum of 8 GBs high capacity cache per controller is supported in the dual
configuration. This improves the cache percent hit rate.

Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9580™ V Series User and Reference Guide 47
5.2 RAID Implementations

The Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem supports RAID0, RAID0+1, RAID1, RAID5 or an
intermix.

Note: RAID 0+1 = RAID 1+0

„ RAID 0 group stripes data across all disk drives in the group to attain higher throughput.
There is no sparing disk drive function with this configuration.
Notes on using RAID 0:
– When a failure occurs in a disk drive, data cannot be restored internally within the
disk array because RAID 0 has no redundancy of data; therefore, although the host
receives an error message, the data is left in its current state.
– Unlike with an independent disk drive, error block management (assignment of
alternative block for the independent disk drive with the Reassign Blocks command)
is not done. Therefore, when a RAID 0 disk drive becomes inaccessible due to a
failure, all the LUs in the RAID 0 configuration including the failed disk drive become
inaccessible. Restoration of user data with backup data is essential after replacing
the failed disk drive.
– Do not allow RAID 0 to coexist with the other RAID group; do not form a group with
two or more RAID 0 systems. An example = (4D + 1P) × 2 + 2D.
– Each time a failure occurs in a RAID 0 disk drive, data that cannot be written into
the disk drive (pinned data) is accumulated in the cache.
– When the amount of accumulated data exceeds a certain value, a write I/O
instructed to the other RAID group cannot be accepted and the system goes down.
(In this case, restoration of user data and resynchronization of a file system using
the backup data are required for the entire subsystem; therefore, the time
necessary for recovery is lengthy.)
– Do not adopt the RAID 0 configuration to its fullest extent. Consider the above notes
when building the configuration.

„ RAID1+0 groups provide data redundancy like RAID 1 by copying all the contents of two
disk drives to another pair. Different from RAID 1, data striping is performed for a
maximum of 8 sets of two disk drives.

„ RAID1 array groups consist of at least two disk drives in a mirrored configuration. Data is
mirrored across the groups of two adjacent drives. The stripe consists of two data
chunks.
„ RAID5 uses from 2 to 5 data disks and has a parity disk performing the data striping.

5.3 Cache Management

Cache management features include the following:

„ Data is stored in cache when reading and writing; it is dynamically managed, depending
on the workload read and write I/O characteristics. A high percent cache hit rate is
expected, due to transaction processing (data is updated after it is referenced). System
throughput is increased by the reduced data writing time.
„ Writing completion is reported to the host at the same time the data is written onto the
cache; the write operation onto the disk will be asynchronously performed later. The
host can perform the next process without waiting for the write operation onto disk.

„ The data written onto the cache is saved in the event of an electric power failure due to
the nonvolatile cache. The data is assured for 24 hours on the full charge of a standard
configuration.

„ One specified logical unit on each controller can be resident in cache. High throughput
can be realized for the specified logical unit since a 100% cache percent hit rate is
expected when reading and writing from the host.

Cache specifications are shown in the following table:

5.5 Open Systems Features and Functions

The Thunder 9580™ V Series subsystem offers many features and functions specifically for
the open-systems environment. The 9580V subsystem also supports important open-system
functions such as fibre-channel arbitrated-loop (FC-AL) and fabric topologies, command tag
queuing, multi-initiator I/O, and most industry-standard software and middleware products
which provide host fail-over, I/O path fail-over, and logical volume management functions.

5.5.1 Open Systems Middleware

Open-system middleware products provide host fail-over capability, I/O path fail-over
support, and logical volume management in the open-systems environment. Middleware is
supplied as a usual accessory or an extra-cost optional package.

5.5.2 Logical Unit Mapping

Each LUN can be assigned to multiple fibre-channel ports to provide I/O path fail-over with
middleware support.

52 Chapter 5 Functional and Operational Characteristics

5.6 Data Management Features and Functions

These features include:

„ Flash Access 9500V
„ Fibre Security
„ LUN Management 9500V

5.6.1 FlashAccess 9500V

The FlashAccess function ensures that all data in an LU is stored in cache memory. All
read/write commands to the LU can be executed by cache hit 100% without accessing the
drive. The system throughput is improved when this function is applied to an LU that
contains data accessed frequently because no latency period is needed to access the disk
drive.

For additional information, refer to the Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9500™ V Series
FlashAccess 9500V User’s Guide (MK-92DF612).

5.6.2 Fibre Security

The Fibre Security function prevents data from being destroyed by illegal accesses. Only
specified hosts are permitted to access LUNs (Host Storage Domain).

5.6.3 LUN Management 9500V

This function enables the subsystem to respond to each connected host (even within the
same port) by grouping connected hosts within a port and setting the logical unit mapping
and the Host Connection mode for each host group.

5.7 Copy Solution Features and Functions

The 9580V subsystem provides features and functions which allow you to maintain remote
and subsystem internal copies of all user data on the 9580V storage subsystem for data
backup or duplication. These features include:
„ Synchronous TrueCopy 9500V
„ ShadowImage 9500V
„ QuickShadow 9500V

5.7.1 Synchronous TrueCopy 9500V

The Synchronous TrueCopy feature enables you to maintain remote copies of all user data on
the Hitachi 9580V storage subsystem for data backup or duplication. The duplicated volumes
are created between subsystems that are connected with a Fibre Channel interface.

Synchronous TrueCopy operations are non-disruptive and allow the primary (main) volume of
each volume pair to remain online to all hosts for both read and write I/O operations. Once
established, Synchronous TrueCopy operations continue unattended to provide synchronous
remote data backup. Usability is further enhanced through a resynchronization capability
that reduces data duplication requirements and backup time, thereby increasing user
productivity.

For additional information, refer to the Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9500™ V Series
Synchronous TrueCopy 9500V User’s Guide (MK-92DF608).

5.7.2 ShadowImage 9500V

The Hitachi Data Systems ShadowImage 9500V features enable you to maintain subsystem-
internal copies of all user data on the 9580V storage subsystem for purposes such as data
backup or duplication. The duplicated volumes are created within the same 9580V subsystem
as the primary volume.

ShadowImage 9500V operations are non-disruptive and allow the primary (main) volume of
each volume pair to remain online to all hosts for both read and write I/O operations. Once
established, ShadowImage 9500V operations continue unattended to provide asynchronous
internal data backup. Usability is further enhanced through a resynchronization capability
that reduces data duplication requirements and backup time, thereby increasing user
productivity.

For additional information, refer to the Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9500™ V Series
ShadowImage 9500V User’s Guide (MK-92DF607).

5.7.3 QuickShadow 9500V

The Hitachi QuickShadow 9500V feature enables you to maintain a logical copy of logical
units (volumes) at a point in time between the disk array subsystems.

Chapter 7 Configuring Storage on the Thunder 9580™ V Series
Subsystem
The process of configuring storage on the 9580V subsystem involves the following
sub-processes:

„ Software Composition
„ Setting Fibre Channel Information
„ Determining Space and RAID Level Requirements
„ Setting Host Group Information
„ Transferring Configurations from One Array to Another
„ Storing Configuration Data
„ Applying Configuration Data to an Additional Thunder 9580™ V Series Subsystem
„ Changing the Network Parameter

7.1 Software Composition

This section includes the following:

„ Microprogram
„ System Parameters

„ Configuration Information
„ SNMP Information
„ Storage for Parameters

7.1.1 Microprogram

A microprogram controls basic hardware operations. The version of the microprogram is

controlled by the following numerical format: 065x/x (x is optional). However, /x may not
be included in the microprogram version number or another control system may control the
microprograms.

7.1.2 System Parameters

System parameters are necessary to start the subsystem (from turning on the main switch to
generation of the RDY LED (green). System parameters are stored in flash memory and disk
drives. System parameters will be backed up automatically onto a disk drive when system
parameters are set or changed.

Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9580™ V Series User and Reference Guide 61
7.1.3 Configuration Information

The configuration information is a record of customer data on the subsystem, such as the
RAID configuration and LU capacity. The configuration information exists in the disk drive
when the main switch is turned off; it is transmitted onto the main memory of the controller
when the main switch is turned on. When configuration information is changed, the
information on the disk drive is updated simultaneously.

7.1.4 SNMP Information

The SNMP parameter enables the SNMP function to operate effectively. When SNMP
information activates the SNMP function, the template contained in the SNMP information
(in the SNMP directory on the provided CD-R) is edited and registered in the subsystem.

When updating this information, edit the SNMP information (in the SNMP directory on the
provided CD-R) and register it in the subsystem.

7.1.5 Storage for Parameters

The storage areas where the parameters on the controller are stored are described in the
following table:

Table 7.1 Storage for Parameters

No. Parameter Storage Description

1 Fixed Part Program Flash Memory The parameters are stored in flash memory. No
Flash Program (and backup FD) provision of storage against a power shut off is
required for the parameters because flash memory can
System Parameters retain information when power is shut off.
Parameters can be backed up to the following:
• Fixed part program: Cannot be backed up program
• Flash program: Automatically backed up to the
system area
• System parameters: Automatically backed up to the
disk drive
2 Microprogram Disk Drive (System Area) Generally, information in a RAM is erased when the
Configuration Information main switch is turned off. Therefore, the subsystem
also stores the parameters used on the RAM on the
SNMP Information disk drive. (An area is reserved in the disk drive to
store them. This area is called the system area.)
The system area is provided on the disk drives #0 to
#4 in the RKA unit #0 frame. Therefore, the system
area has redundancy for disk drives #0 to #4 in the
RKA unit #0 frame.

7.7.1 System Parameters

Use the modes discussed in this section only when recommended by an Hitachi Data Systems
Host or Optional Product installation guide.

Set the system parameters in the array unit with the information described in the file. If you
set the system parameters using a file that was output when a priced optional feature is in
an unlocked state, the setting may terminate abnormally. To set system parameters, use a
file that was output when all priced optional features are in a locked state.

For a dual system, the setting cannot be executed if one of the controllers is detached.
Confirm that the array unit is operating normally.

When system parameters are set, the array unit cannot execute commands from the host.
The functions of Resource Manager 9500V can no longer work with the exception of the
Wizard for setting the system parameters and failure monitoring. After setting, restart the
array unit. Confirm that it is operating successfully, then connect to the host and the
Resource Manager 9500V management program.
1. Edit the file for which you will set system parameters to set the array unit. This file has
a specified format. The format of the file is the same as that of the file output by the
array unit. To format a file, refer to the file output in section 7.6.
2. On the Settings menu, select Configuration Settings or click Configuration Settings
button in the tool bar.
3. Click the Constitute tab.

describes the system parameters edited in 1. The specified file name will be shown in
the text box.
6. Click the Input button.

Note: To validate the set system parameters, restart the array unit. The previous settings
stay valid until restarting. The array unit cannot access the host until the reboot is
completed and the system restarts. Therefore, be certain the host has stopped accessing
data before beginning the restart process.

8.2.2 Characteristics of Network Functions

This section discusses the following network function characteristics:

„ LAN Interface
The connector for 10Base-T/100Base-TX is equipped with the controller.
10Base-T/100Base-TX is selected automatically.

„ Network Parameter
The 9580V has the following network parameters; they can be set or changed by the
Web browser or the Resource Manager 9500V, concerning only port 1 (for users) of each
controller.

Table 8.3 Network Parameters

Network parameter Description Factory Setting Value (Note 1)

Controller 0 Controller 1

IP Address The IP Address is 192.168.0.16 192.168.0.16

changed/set up. (Note 1) (Note 1)

Subnet Mask The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0

changed/set up.
(Note 3) (Note 3)

Default Gateway The Default Gateway is 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

changed/set up.

DHCP (Note 2) Enable/Disable of the Off Off

DHCP function is set up.

Note 1: Manage the IP Address after the IP Address is changed from the IP Address of factory setting.

Note 2: When the DHCP mode is validated, the IP Address is acquired from the DHCP server.
If the DHCP server is not started up or the DHCP function has been wrongly set, the acquisition of the IP Address will fail and
the IP Address of the subsystem will remain 0.0.0.0. (This is a state in which Resource Manager 9500V or the Web cannot be
used via a LAN.)
In this case, you can acquire the IP Address by starting up the DHCP server or by setting the DHCP function correctly when
necessary.

Note 3:
Microprogram revision 0653/B or earlier
(1) When the user’s port address is set to other than 10.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x cannot be used for the IP address for LAN device to be
connected to user’s port through a gateway. Therefore, set the IP address to other than 10.x.x.x.
(2) When the user’s port address is set to 10.x.x.x, 192.168.0.x cannot be used for the IP address for LAN device to be
connected to user’s port through a gateway. Therefore, set the IP address to other than 192.168.0.x.
Microprogram revision 0653/C or later
(1) When the user’s port address is set to other than 10.x.x.x, 10.0.0.(0 to 31) cannot be used for the IP address for LAN device
to be connected to user’s port through a gateway. Therefore, set the IP address to other than 10.0.0.(0 to 31).
(2) When the user’s port address is set to 10.x.x.x, 192.168.0.(0 to 31) cannot be used for the IP address for LAN device to be
connected to user’s port through a gateway. Therefore, set the IP address to other than 192.168.0.(0 to 31).

Chapter 9 Periodic Maintenance
If the subsystem is not energized for more than 18 days, the battery may over-discharge and
unrecoverable damage may result. The battery must be energized more than 2 hours at least
once every 18 days or, alternatively, the subsystem can be stored with the AC Power Unit
Switch/DC Power Unit Switch of the battery turned off. However, when the AC Power Unit
Switch/DC Power Unit Switch is turned off, the battery discharges naturally. In this case, the
battery should be charged once every three months for longer than 2 hours because
spontaneous discharge occurs.

166 Chapter 9 Periodic Maintenance
Appendix A Glossary

„ Cache backup
Because a cache memory uses DRAM, information stored in it is lost when the subsystem
power is shut off. To provide against unexpected power failure, the subsystem has an
setup to maintain data in the cache memory by batteries.
Cache backup is a state in which the data is protected by the batteries.
„ CTL
Controller

„ CUDG
Control Unit Diagnosis

„ Destage
Automatically writes data in cache memory, not yet written on the disk drive, on the
disk drive when the main switch is turned off.

„ DHCP
DHCP is an abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol; it is a client/server
type protocol according to which a server automatically assigns an IP address when each
client has started.

„ ECC
Error Checking and Correcting

„ EIA
Electronic Industries Alliance
EIA standard (1 EIA unit = 44.45 mm)

„ FC-AL
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop

„ FC-SW
Fibre Channel-Switch Topology

„ Fibre channel
A set of standards of interfaces that are connected through optical fibre, etc. to achieve
high-speed data transfer between devices.

„ Fibre Channel HBA

Fibre Channel Host bus Adapter

„ Fibre Channel HUB

An apparatus to connect and relay Fibre Channel cables, each connected to a Fibre
Channel device in order to form an arbitrated loop of the Fibre Channel.

Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9580™ V Series User and Reference Guide 167
 „ Flash memory
ROM that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. A type of EEPROM (Electrically
Erasable and Programmable). It can retain information without electricity and is widely
used as an external storage, etc.

„ Host computer
A computer which manages devices. For the disk array, it is a computer which enables
the disk array store data.

„ Hot replacement
Used to replace an installed part with the subsystem power on. Usually, the major part
is duplicated so that when one of the parts fails, the subsystem function is maintained
by another part.

„ I/F
Interface

„ IP address
IP address is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol Address; it is a numeral string which
shows an address of a computer connected to a network.

„ LA
Logical Address

„ LBA

168 Appendix A Glossary

„ Parity disk
When configuring RAID 5, one disk drive in a RAID group is designated as the parity disk
and the other disk drives are designated as data disks. On the parity disk, parity data
calculated from those of data disks is stored. When one of the disk drives in a RAID group
fails, the subsystem can still be used and its data will not be damaged, by virtue of the
parity data.

„ PDB
Power Distribution Box

„ Rack frame
A frame on which electronic equipment is mounted (using rails, etc.). Most rack frames
have a width of 19 inches and are called 19-inch rack frames. The height of the
equipment to be mounted is regulated by the EIA standard. The rack frame has screw
holes to fasten equipment with bolts, etc.

„ RAID
Redundant Array of Independent (Inexpensive) Disks
A concept proposed in 1987 by a research group of the University of California, Berkeley.
RAID distributes accesses among multiple disk drives, and thereby realizes a storage
subsystem with high-speed accessibility, a large capacity, and high reliability.
The University of California defined six levels of configurations from RAID 0 through RAID
5, and one of the levels is selected based on the trade-off in terms of cost and speed to
meet the user’s need.

„ Remote Maintenance Function (SNMP)

The SNMP agent support function reports failures to the workstation which monitors the
network via the SNMP of the open platform.

„ R/W
Read/Write

„ SNMP
SNMP is an abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, and it is one of the
network protocols developed to manage a network.

„ Spare disk
A disk drive which is mounted separately from the disk drives for usual write and read
operation; when a failure occurs in a disk drive, data stored in the failed drive is copied
to the spare disk drive so that the disk subsystem can continue to be available
equivalently to the original subsystem.

„ UPS
Uninterrupted Power Supply
A backup power supply which is mounted on the Thunder 9580 unit to prevent shutdown
of the unit even when power stoppage or momentary power interruption occurs.

Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Thunder 9580™ V Series User and Reference Guide 169
 „ Write cache
When data is written from a host computer onto a disk array subsystem, it is not written
directly on the disk drive but written in cache memory. In this way, the disk array
subsystem can return a writing completion report promptly. This writing method using
cache memory is called write cache.

Host Group
1 LU Mapping Mode Depends on System Configuration (Note 3)

Note 1: Hot Standby mode is used when only one of the two Controllers is normal.
Note 2: Data Share mode is used to prevent performance deterioration which results from LU ownership that is switched when a host computer
issues commands frequently to a Controller to which the computer has no ownership, in the normal or regression status (owing to a path or
host computer failure).
It is recommended that the subsystem in the Data Share mode be used when LU ownership switching may occur.
Note 3: When the 9580V is connected, the LU not intended to be accessed by the port must be masked by means of LU mapping mode.
Note 4: When the DHCP mode is validated, the IP Address is acquired from the DHCP server.
If the DHCP server is not started or the DHCP function has been incorrectly set, the acquisition of the IP Address will fail and the IP Address of
the subsystem will remain “0.0.0.0”. (When this occurs, the Resource Manager 9500V program or the Web cannot be used via a LAN.) In this
case, acquire the IP Address by starting the DHCP server or by setting the DHCP function correctly when necessary.

Note 1: D: Data disk, P: Parity disk
Note 2: Although the subsystem with a configuration of RAID 5, RAID 1, or RAID 0+1 provides data reliability enhanced by
means of redundancy, a possibility remains that user data is lost owing to an unexpected failure of a host computer or
hardware/software of the subsystem itself. Therefore, users are requested to back up all data for restoration in case where the
original data is lost.
Note 3: Value of maximum configuration (in the case where all the mountable Disk drives and Controller are mounted).
Note 4: Power requirement in the case of the maximum configuration is shown. When planning facilities such as the
uninterrupted power supply (UPS), specify the power factor as 100% for calculation. Value at 100 V/200 V is shown.
(Example: 300 W=300 VA)
The actual required power may exceed the value shown in the table when the tolerance is included.
Note 5: The current value in the operation by a single power supply unit is same as that in the operation by both power supply
units.
Note 6: When one of the two power supply units fails, another power supply unit requires electric current for the two power
supply units. Therefore, plan for the power supply facility in which the current carrying capacity of one of the power supply units
to be a total capacity of the two power supply units.
Note 7: A noise emitted at the time of start is not included.
Note 8: The start-up time may be longer than three minutes depending on the configuration.

Note 1: Non-volatility of data in the cache memory is ensured against power trouble such as a sudden power failure. It transfers
data in the Cache memory to Disk drives by turning off the power normally, and prevents the battery charge from being wasted.
When the subsystem enters the Cache Backup mode, a warning (lighting of the orange LED) informing of a voltage drop of the
battery may be issued when the subsystem is started. It shows that the remaining capacity of the battery is not sufficient, and in
this state, the subsystem operates disabling the Write Cache function automatically, when the voltage of two batteries drops.

When the battery is charged, the warning indication disappears, and the subsystem continues the operation enabling the Write
Cache function. The warning indication disappears within 2 hours at the latest. Even when the warning is indicated, normal
functional operation is assured although the operation is performed in the Write-Through mode and the R/W performance is
lowered because the Write Cache function is disabled.
Since the battery is subject to the effect of the environmental temperature, avoid using a battery in unnecessarily continuous
operation at a high temperature.
If the subsystem is not energized for more than30 days( when two batteries are installed), the battery over-charges and this can
result in unrecoverable damage. The battery must be energized more than 2 hours at least once every 30 days (when two
batteries are installed), or the subsystem should be stored with the switch of the battery turned off. Even when the switch is
turned off, the battery discharges naturally. In this case, charge the battery once per six months for longer than 2 hours.

When using LUN Security or LUN Management on a Fabric Switch connection:

„ When connecting to the servers (HBA) or exchanging the HBA, connect to the servers
(HBA) that access the Disk Array after the LUN Security or LUN Management settings,
including WWN registration, are completed.

„ Zoning on Fabric Switch must be set as shown below to disturb the access from HBA that
cannot be accessed from the Disk Array by LUN Security or LUN Management.
