Wrg Type

Device is not compatible for use as part of an IM

 

 

array.

 

Too Small

Disk is too small to mirror existing data.

 

Max Dsks

Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of Array

 

 

reached and/or Maximum # of total IM disks on a

 

 

controller reached.

 

No SMART

Disk doesn't support SMART, cannot be used in

 

 

an RAID array.

 

Wrg Intfc

Device interface (SAS) differs from existing IM

 

 

disks.

Pred Fail

Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure (Yes,

 

No).

 

Size(MB)

Indicates the size of the device in megabytes (megabyte = 1024 x 1024

 

= 1,048,576). If the device is part of a two-disk array, this field reflects

 

the size of the array, not the size of the individual disk. If the device

is part of a three or more disk array, this field is the size that the disk makes up within the array. When creating a striped array, the usable size of the array is determined by the number of drives times the size of the smallest drive in the array. In arrays consisting of different sized drives, excess space on larger drives are unusable.

Manage Array Screen

The Manage Array screen enables you to manage the current array. To access the Manage Array screen, select the appropriate field and press Enter on the Manage Array field from the View Array screen.

The Manage Array screen enables you to perform the following actions:

Manage Hot Spare

To display a Hot Spare Management screen that has the same layout as the Create New Array screen, press Enter on Manage Hot Spare. This field is grayed out under the following conditions:

The array is inactive.

The array is at its maximum number of devices.

Non-IR firmware is used.

IR is disabled. The array is inactive.

Synchronize Array

To perform a synchronization of the IM array, press Enter on Synchronize Array. The screen prompts you to ask if you want to perform this action. Press Y for yes or N for no. This field is grayed out under the following conditions:

The array is inactive.

The array does not need to be resynchronized.

The adapter's MPT firmware does not support the feature

Non-IR firmware is used.

IR is disabled. The array is inactive.

Activate Array

To perform an activation of an IM array, press Enter on Activate Array. The screen prompts you to ask if you want to perform this action. Press Y for yes or N for no.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
