Preface
As part of an effort to improve and enhance the performance and capabilities of its
product line, EMC from time to time releases revisions of its hardware and software.
Therefore, some functions described in this
document might not be supported by all
revisions of the software or hardware currently in use. For the most up-to-date information
on product features, refer to your product release notes.
If a product does not function properly or does not function as described in this
document , please contact your EMC representative.
About this book
This guide describes the EMC®VNXe3150™. The VNXe3150 platform supports a disk
processor enclosure (DPE) with one to two storage processors (SPs).
In the single SP configuration, a Cache Protection Module is provided. This Cache
Protection Module is used in the event of an outage. The data in the VNXe3150 platform
write cache is safely stored in the Flash memory of the Cache Protection Module,
eliminating time-limited battery backup and external power supplies. The Cache
Protection Module capacity is 1 GB.
In the VNXe3150 platform, both the DPE and DAE can use either a 12 drive, 3.5-inch disk
2U enclosure or a 25 drive, 2.5-inch disk 2U enclosure (DAE5S). As a result, in the
VNXe3150 platform, the DPE and DAE is available in several DPE/DAE configurations (for
more information, see and “Disk-array enclosure” on page 35).
IMPORTANT
When calculating the number of drives for your VNXe3150 platform, the DPE in a dual SP
configuration is included in the total drive slot quantity of from 96 to 100 drives. If the
total drive slot quantity exceeds from 96 to 100, you will not be able to add another DAE.
In a single SP configuration, the total drive slot quantity of from 48 to 50 drives is
possible. If the total drive slot quantity exceeds from 48 to 50, you will not be able to add
another DAE. The “Disk-array enclosure” section on page 35 provides more information
about the available DAEs for the VNXe3150 platform as well as a configuration table.
