Mid to large -sized Heterogeneous StorNext configuration
Example 6. Drawing depicts mid to large size and expandable SAN with heterogeneous client connectivity. DS5300 connected to meshed SAN fabric with a minimum of two Fibre Channel switches. For DS5100/DS5300 configurations, a minimum of two switches is recommended. Drawing shows minimal SAN to DS5300 connections to simplify the drawing. However, up to 16 connections is supported.
In this example, the Meta data Controllers each have a single dual ported HBA. Also in this example multiple HIC cards on the DS5300 are used to increase resiliency. This drawing includes RAID Group type and size suggestions. However performance tuning guidelines should be used to plan RAID group layout between trays to maximize performance.
