Table 1-2shows the configuration options for SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE arrays.

(SES)

1.1-GHz drives are not supported.

2.A disk array with no controller. Each expansion unit has two Fibre Channel loops that can provide redundant data paths back to the RAID array.

3.A disk array with no controller that is connected directly to a host computer, with no RAID array in the loop. Only SANnet II 200 FC arrays support the JBOD configuration.

4.The host-based SANscape software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and additional event-reporting capabilities.

A label on the bottom lip of an array chassis, underneath the front bezel, indicates whether the array is a JBOD array or a RAID array. For instance, “SANnet II 200 AC JBOD” refers to an alternating-current version of a SANnet II 200 JBOD array, “SANnet II 200 DC JBOD” refers to a direct-current version of a JBOD array, and “SANnet II 200 AC RAID” refers to an alternating-current version of a RAID array. Similarly, using a OBP command such as probe-scsi-allprovides similar information, using an “A” designator for RAID arrays and a “D” designator for disks
