  2. Storage Systems and the SAN Food Chain • Computers connect to storage systems via Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FICON, ESCON links • Direct attach or through SAN • Storage system firmware takes physical drives and presents RAID-grouped logical devices out of which storage is allocated • Example Switch Vendors: Brocade, McDATA, CNT, Cisco • Example Array Vendors: HDS, EMC, IBM, HP, Sun, generic JBOD Storage Area Network Application Server Switch Storage System Application Database File System / Volume HBA Switch Port Switch Switch Port StoragePort RAID Group CHIP, CA, CSW, DKA LDEV

  8. Firmware Assists • Host Storage Domains (HSD) • Allows sharing of physical ports • Each HSD has its own logical (virtual) FC port • FC port “mode set” applies to logical FC port in each HSD • Each HSD has its own set of LUNs • Hosts matched to their assigned HSD based upon WWN • Hosts can only “see” their own HSD • Priority Access • Allocates bandwidth based on QoS requirements • At physical port level, or Host Group level within Port • Enables consolidation of mixed workloads • Disk-based Virtual WORM • Storage System and Storage Area Management Products • CIM- and SMI-S-based strategy • Business Continuity Products • Local/Remote, mirrors or shadows, sync or async All of the items listed on this page, except priority access, and on both Lighting and Thunder. Priority access is Lightning only

  10. 1 Operational Data 2 Fixed Content 3 Backup Data Hitachi Thunder 9500™ V SeriesTiered Storage “in a box” Data Characteristics Fibre Channel high- performance, higher-cost storage (Dynamic online data, rich media, large data bases, etc.) • High-speed transactions • High-speed data access • Data integrity a must • Data retained “forever” • Redundancy desired • Data integrity over long haul • Response time in seconds • Can employ WORM SATA-based high- capacity, lower-cost storage (Fixed content: Old e-mail, X-rays, Regulatory data, etc.) • From 3U Rack system to up to 107 Terabytes • Dual controller, 2, 4 or 8 data-path design • Fully fault tolerant and fault self-correcting • Shares business continuity and management products with Lighting line • Examples: D2D2T • Data stays until next backup – provides rapid restore of last backup. Restore performance is key SATA-based high- capacity, lower-cost storage (Backup data: Any data that is going to get backed up to tape.) Tape is not eliminated, but its usage is confined to offsite ARCHIVAL only Tape

All figures in this table are typical numbers for the technology listed 2. PATA HDDs with 7200 RPM are beginning to appear. However, most vendors are using SATA instead of PATA 3. Seek times of 10 ms for PATA are beginning to appear. However, most vendors are using SATA instead of PATA 4. Theoretical max for PATA is 133. Only one PATA drive transferring at 133 was found. The rest were 100. Summary of Major SATA ( PC ) and Fibre Channel (Enterprise) Differences

  14. A B C D E C’ Thunder 9500 V Series Serial ATA Data Protection Mechanisms • #2 Recommend Increase Sparing • Protect against potential higher failure rate of drives • Dynamic Global Hot Sparing • Fast Rich Correction Copy ( faster uCode ) • User can set rebuild priority, and change it “on the fly” • Recommend user prioritise rebuild over Host I/O • Automatically schedule maintenance call when 2xspares used (via Hi-Track®) • Threshold for sparing uses S.M.A.R.T information SMART ( Self-monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology ) is an open standard for monitoring and reporting the health of the disk drive. It is intended to help detect problems with a drive before it has a hardfail. Direct copy sparing will be performed if SMART information indicates softfail thresholds are exceeded. If the disk drive hard fails, parity information will be used to rebuild the disk drive on a global hot spare The disk drive softfail error threshold has been exceeded. Disk is spared out via copy function I/O is accepted Controller Global hot spare (can be anywhere in Thunder)

  15. Thunder 9500 V Series Serial ATA Data Protection Mechanisms • #3To reduce SATA drives higher failure rate, the following functions are performed: Unique microcode in Thunder 9500 V Series enhances HDD functionalities to give superior reliability • During periods of no I/O activity, idle seeks are performed to prevent the heads from remaining in one place. If I/O is constant, every 10 minutes drive access momentarily halts for 5 seconds and a disk sweep is performed • If a drive has been inactive for 2 hours, a Head Unload operation is performed, retracting heads from disk surface until the drive is again accessed • For every record, even on SATA HDDs, an 8 byte LA/LRC check is added. This ensures data consistency
