iSCSI and additional Fiber Channel ports are added to the SP’s using UltraFlex modules.
It also handles all RAID operations as well as Read and Write caching. It is the job of the storage processor to retrieve data from the disk when asked, and to write data to disk when asked. Storage Processor – SP – Usually followed by “A” or “B” to denote if which one it is, all VNX systems have 2 storage processors. It is in place of the DPE mentioned above. Storage Processor Enclosure – SPE (VNX5700/7500/8000 models) – This is the enclose that contains the storage processors on the larger VNX models. It contains all connections related to block level storage protocols including Fiber Channel and iSCSI. Standby Power Supply – SPS – This is a 1u uninterruptible power supply designed to hold the Storage processors during a power failure for long enough to write any data in volatile memory to disk.ĭisk Processor Enclosure – DPE (VNX5100/5300/5500/5200/5400/5600/5800/7600 models) – This is the enclosure that contains the storage processors as well as the Vault Drives and a few other drives. (also the VNX 8000 uses the same general layout)
VMWARE VSPHERE 6.5 EMC VNX 5200 HOW TO
I also did a quick how to video for doing these cables Stay tuned for VNXe sheets.įor the official VNX Spec sheet head over to EMC’s website.
I have also created a couple of sheets that show what cables are involved in the VNX system and where they go. To help clarify things I have created a series of quick reference sheets showing the components and what they are called. I find that many times when I’m talking to customers they are not sure what all makes up a VNX array, and this can complicate troubleshooting over the phone as well as cause confusion on both sides.
VMWARE VSPHERE 6.5 EMC VNX 5200 UPDATE
I have only uploaded the components sheet so far, but when I get time to do the others I will update them as well. UPDATE: I am starting to update this page with VNX2 (Code Name Rockies) Information.
