The Hitachi Freedom Storage Lightning 9980V™ System Packaging

The Lightning 9980V system is available in a two-to-five cabinet configuration (as shown on the cover of this guide), depending on connectivity and capacity needs. A Control Frame serves as the control center of each system and manages up to four Array Frames that are connected via high-speed Fibre Channel links. A fully configured system is contained in five cabinets 73.2 inches high, 148.9 inches wide, and 31.5 inches deep.

Lightning 9980V System Control Frame

The Control Frame of the Lightning 9980V system contains the Service Processor, Client Host Interface Processor modules (CHIPs) with Fibre Channel adapters, ESCON® adapters, and/or FICON™ adapters, Cache Modules, Cache Switch Modules (CSWs), Array Control Processor modules (ACPs), power supplies, and battery modules. An illustration of the Control Frame is shown in Figure 8.

Each physical Fibre Channel port may have multiple Host Storage Domains. A Host Storage Domain supports a “logical” Fibre Channel port Fig. 7 each with its own set of LUNs. Hosts are matched to their assigned HSD based on a unique World Wide Names WWNs identifier. LUN security provided by Hitachi SANtinel software fences access to LUNs based upon host WWNs. Under this innovative software structure, each of multiple host systems may have its own unique LUN 0, from which it can boot, within its own Host Storage DomainLightning 9980V System Control Frame Hitachi Freedom StorageLightning 9900 V Series PackagingLightning 9980V System Array Frames Hitachi Data SystemsPage Hitachi Data Systems Lightning 9900 V Series Front-endDesign of the Hitachi Freedom StorageAbout the Fibre Channel Interface Boards Hitachi Data SystemsA Lightning 9900 V Series system can connect to both mainframe and open system hosts, thereby consolidating the storage for an enterprise under one roof for consistent performance, availability, and ease of management.

That’s why Hitachi Data Systems provides an open management platform, based on industry-standardmanagement protocols, along with high-value-addfunctional components, such as policy-basedautomation and heterogeneous device management. This allows customers to incorporate multiple vendor offerings to create a truly complete solution for managing and monitoring their storage environments. HiCommand Management Framework supports a modular, building-blockapproach to designing and addressing business-specificstorage management requirements. As a result, this framework enables customers to build the most suitable management environmentCIM Benefits to Customers Open, Standards-basedApproachHitachi Data Systems O/S Support Product Support1.
