Channel Host Adapter for support of up to seventy-two 1-inch hard drives per server slot.
Compaq recommends the Fibre Channel Storage Hub 7 for smaller configurations because it
provides the best value. |
| Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12:
This is an intelligent, managed Storage Hub which attaches up to 11 RA4100s to the Fibre
Channel Host Adapter for support of up to one hundred thirty-two 1-inch hard drives per
server slot. |
| Fibre Channel Host Adapters:
PCI Fibre Channel Host Adapters operating at either 64-bit/66-MHz or 32-bit/33-MHz are the
link between your Compaq ProLiant or Intel-based non-Compaq server and the RA4100. |
| Gigabit Interface Converters Kits (GBIC-SW
and GBIC-LW): Compaq designed these industry-standard connection devices which
hot plug into Fibre Channel hubs, array controllers, and host adapters. These converters
provide expansion ease and 100 MB/s performance. GBIC-SW modules support distances of up
to 500 meters using multi-mode fiber optic cable and GBIC-LW modules support distances of
up to 10 kilometers or over 6 miles using single-mode optical fiber. |
| Multi-Mode Fibre Channel Cables:
2, 5, 15, 30 and 50 meter cables provide a thin, flexible cabling solution between GBICs,
and are immune to electromagnetic interference. |
Redundant Host Adapter Failover
Software Kit for Windows NT: This software kit includes all necessary drivers and documentation
to configure and enable host adapter failover for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.
Note: Secure Path 3.1a for RA4100 is
required for Microsoft Windows 2000 failover support. Secure Path 3.0 for RA4100 is
required for Novell NetWare failover support. |
|
| Scalability |
| Capacity, cache, memory and processing power
scale simultaneously as you add RA4100s, allowing you to purchase storage for your current
needs while providing enough bandwidth and flexibility for substantial growth in the
future. |
|
| Fault Tolerance |
| Keeps data available and server running while
drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance configurations are supported including: Distributed
Data Guarding (RAID 5): Allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows
simultaneous write operations.
Data Guarding (RAID 4): Writes parity data to a single, designated drive.
Drive Mirroring (RAID 1, 0+1): Allocates half of the drive array to data and the
other half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file. |
|
| Capacity |
| Per Array: Using 36.4-GB drives; a
single RA4100 can scale up to 436.8 GB. Per Loop: Add a Fibre Channel Storage
Hub 12 and scale up to 4.8 TB per server slot.
Per Switch: Add a SAN switch 16 and scale up to 6.5 TB per server slot. |
|
| Fault Recovery |
| Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and
facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure On-Line Spares: Up to four spare
drives can be installed prior to drive failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with
an on-line spare and data is reconstructed automatically.
Array Accelerator: Onboard, battery-backed cache memory protects data in the
event of a power failure. This daughter board is uniquely removable from the array in the
unlikely event of a controller failure—saving critical user data for up to four days. |
|
| High Availability |
| Saves training and administration costs by
providing online storage management tools: Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server,
Microsoft NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, Novell NetWare High Availability Server and
Oracle Parallel Server: Compaq was the first company to deliver support for Microsoft
Cluster Server (MSCS) on Fibre Channel attached storage and has been a leader in storage
solutions for Novell NetWare High Availability Server. In addition, Compaq also supports
Oracle Parallel Server with the RA4100 and RA4100 SAN Solution. Please note: Microsoft Windows 2000 cluster support now
available!!! (Please refer to the compatibility matrix for complete configuration
support.)
Multiple, Heterogeneous Cluster Support on the same SAN: With the latest updates,
the RA4100 SAN Solution now supports up to 5 clusters on the same SAN. These clusters can
also be a mixture of MSCS, NWCS and OPS. Note: The existing requirement that each cluster must have a dedicated
RA4100 and that an RA4100 cannot be shared by more than 1 cluster still applies. (Please
refer to the compatibility matrix for complete configuration support) |
|
| Integrated Configuration Features |
| Selective Storage Presentation: allows
RA4100 array sets to be partitioned to multiple servers for SAN access Online RAID
Level Migration: allows for online post-configuration change to RAID level without
destroying data or volume information.
Online Capacity Expansion: lets you add storage to an operational
RA4100—reducing expensive server downtime.

Logical Drive Capacity Extension: allows the user to increase the size of
existing logical drives online under Windows NT and offline for other operating systems. |
Pre-Failure Warranty: Drives installed
in an RA4100 and monitored under Compaq Insight Manager are supported by a Pre-Failure
(replacement) Warranty.
Note: Pre-Failure Warranty allows for the
replacement of designated drives in an RA4100 before they actually fail when using Compaq
Insight Manger on Compaq servers. |
| Note: Some operating systems
may not support all of these features. |
|
| SANworks Virtual Replicator (SWVR) |
| Snapshots. Using SWVR, instantly
create "virtual copies" of production data to reduce backup and restore windows
from hours to minutes. Dynamic Growth. For quick response to changing storage
capacity needs, create "virtual volumes" of up to two terabytes with SWVR and

32-MB memory, and 30 MB disk space. |
|
| Compaq Integration |
| Both the Compaq RA4000 and RA4100 were
designed and integrated specifically for use with Compaq ProLiant servers, hard
drives and RAID systems, so you can be confident that it will integrate seamlessly into
your Compaq Server environment. |
|
| Multi-platform X86-based Server Support |
| When used in an Intel-based server running
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server Edition, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Novell Netware
5.1, and Linux, the RA4100 provides high availability, through redundant power supplies,
fans, controllers (NT and Netware only), and host adapters; flexibility, through the use
of Fibre Channel based protocols; and connectivity, through a fabric or loop-based
architecture. When used with a Compaq ProLiant server, the RA4100 also provides
unparalleled integration with Compaq Insight Manager, Smart Start, and Pre-Failure
Warranty support. |
|
| Hot Pluggable Support |
RA4000 Controller supports hot pluggable
drives for simple installation and maintenance. In addition, drives are covered by
Compaq’s Pre-Failure Warranty. Compaq Insight Manager will notify you of a potential
drive failure before it happens, so that the drive may be replaced.
Note: Pre-Failure Warranty allows for the replacement of designated drives in an RA4100
before they actually fail when using Compaq Insight Manager on Compaq servers. |
|
| Easy Installation |
| Multi-mode fiber optic cables, which are less
bulky than SCSI cables, simplify installation. Distances of up to 500 meters between your
server and storage systems are supported on 50-micron, multi-mode, fiber optic cable (200
meters on 62.5-micron multi-mode fiber optic cable). For even greater distances, 9-micron
single mode fibre optic cable can be used to achieve 10-kilometer distances between RA4000
family components. In addition, integration with the Compaq Array Configuration Utility
and SmartStart ensures quick and easy storage configuration. |
| Note: For more information
about cabling and installation, refer to http://compaq.com/support/techpubs/whitepapers/ecg0030298.html |
|
| Low Total Cost of Ownership |
| You can buy what you need today and purchase
additional capacity and performance as your information grows, instead of making a large
up-front investment. More storage systems, controllers and expansion modules can be easily
added as your needs dictate. Also, because the arrays support SCSI drives, your investment
in SCSI technology is protected and cost is minimized as you add new drives. Sharing of
a common universal drive form factor between your server, external storage enclosures, and
fibre channel array can significantly reduce needs for hardware and spare inventory, and
offer overall reduction in storage management and business costs. |
