Infortrend RAID Controller Manual

Fibre Channel Support:
B-4
Fibre Channel Support All Firmware supports Fibre Channels
Channel Mode All channels configurable to Host or Drive mode, user
configurable.
Redundant controller Redundant using FC controllers supported.
Host-side loop failure
detection
Supported. The LIPs on the host channels will not be
displayed to users.
Drive-side loop failure
detection
Supported.
Point-to-point topology Supported.
Arbitrated loop topology Supported.
Fabric topology Supported.
Host Redundant loop / Supported. (Also requires the host computer Fibre HBA
dual-loop topology driver support)
Drive side redundant loop Workloads can be automatically balanced between
load-sharing
member loops for performance optimization.
Fibre channel ID User selectable from ID 0 to 125.
Native Fibre Interface 3-pin Copper: can be converted to optical with a MIA or
GBIC HUBs.
DB-9 Copper: MIA compliant, a converter or extender is
necessary
Point-to-point and FC-AL
protocol
LUN Filtering (RAID-
Based Mapping)
User configurable.
WWN table stored in
NVRAM
Sync. cache channel over
Fibre loops
S.M.A.R.T. Support:
Host LUN mapping with user-configurable Filter entry
and Filter type (access control), up to 128 Filter entries
can be appended to Host-ID/LUN combinations.
� Host channel HBA WWN browsing: a list of WWNs
from detected HBAs on the host channel will be
provided for user's convenience when masking LUN
Filtering.
� Bit-masking: Based on the user provided WWN of
the host HBA (user can enter the WWN manually
from a list browsed or that provided by the controller).
Users can also assign a bit-masking to group a
certain group of WWNs to be included in the LUN
Filtering.
� Read/Write Privilege: Users can choose the following
privilege for each LUN Filtering: Read/Write, Read
Only, and No Access.
Each WWN number can be assigned with a nick name
for ease of identification
Supported, no extra cabling between two controllers;
communications data can be distributed to one or two
dedicated channels or over all drive loops.
Copy & Replace Drive Supported. User can choose to clone a member drive
before drive failure.
