migration
required above should have independent pool of minimum required
global hot spares
The Proposed SAN Array should support RAID Levels: 0, 1, 1/0, 3, 5 & 6. If
any of the mentioned Raid Groups are not supported by the Bidder/OEM,
then kindly propose equivalent features, with supporting whitepaper validation
documents from third party agencies
Support for Windows 2000/2003, HP-UX, IBM AIX, LINUX, Solaris OS.
Vendors to provide a detailed interoperability list of supported configurations
(including OS, HBAs, switches, cluster software, firmware, etc.) and the same
should also be available to the customer for quick reference on the vendor’s
public domain.
It should provide the following flexibility within the storage system while
applications are online with continued data access to the same LUNs (at the
LUN granularity level):
a) to migrate LUNs within the array to balance performance across
spindles
b) To move data within the array between drives of different capacities
& types
c) to migrate LUNs from one level of RAID protection to another (e.g.
RAID 5 to RAID 1/0).

In case of power failure, the SAN array must be provided with cache
protection mechanism to ensure no loss of data in cache (Cache De-Stage),
irrespective of duration of power outage or for minimum 72 hrs.
The Proposed SAN Array should provide mapping of host to LUN, LUN
Masking, Audit Logging, Security Administrator role, IP filtering and 2048bit
asymmetric encryption support
The Proposed SAN Array must support storage virtualization via online
expansion of LUN’s through both concatenation as well as striping methods.
The Proposed SAN Array should be field upgradeable to higher model in the
family through data-in-place upgrade without requiring forklift upgrade of the
SAN Arrays. The proposed SAN Arrays should also support NAS Gateway
connectivity via FC SAN Switches without requiring forklift upgrade of the
SAN Arrays or any Software
The SAN Management software should be array based and provide GUI /
web based management with complete Reporting features like LUN Usage,
Empty Space etc. Alternately the SAN management console should be
offered in high availability mode so as to ensure that failure of the console
does not impact the ability to manage the SAN storage array.
The Proposed SAN Array should support Web based, Email facility for
remote service & also support dial-in / dial-out to report errors and warnings.
The Proposed SAN Array should be able to connect 4-6 hosts on Fiber
Channel through Dual Redundant 8 Port, 4Gbps FC Switches with requisite
10 Mtr LC-LC Cables & Accessories (required in pair) .
The SAN Array should support optional Snapshot or Point-in-time Copy
functionality for snapshot and full copy of the production LUN’s / volumes.
The storage solution should support specialized host-based HBA Load
Balancing, Multi pathing & Auto Failover software along with the Storage
system for various Operating Systems including but not limited to those
mentioned above. Relevant software for this functionality should be proposed
for all servers connected to the SAN with dual or more HBAs. Vendors should
offer specialized host-based software, not just native OS-based failover
