Chapter 1
Overview
This chapter provides an overview and describes the features of the ETERNUS DX.
Figure 1.1 External View (Controller Enclosure)
Figure 1.2 External View (2.5" Type Drive Enclosure)
Figure 1.3 External View (3.5" Type Drive Enclosure)
Figure 1.4 External View (High-Density Drive Enclosure)
■Scalability
The ETERNUS DX series offers a broad assortment of host interfaces and drive types that can be mixed and
combined without restriction. Therefore, the system can be freely adapted to fit all user and application
needs, such as capacity and performance, even if those needs change during the system's lifetime.
●Unit Size
The base unit (controller enclosure) size is 3U (*1). For expansion units (drive enclosure), three types are
available; the 2U size 2.5" type (24 drives for each enclosure), the 2U size 3.5" type (12 drives for each enclo-
sure), and the 4U size 3.5" high-density type (60 drives for each enclosure).
*1: 1U is the height for a device that can be installed in one 19-inch rack unit (1U = 44.45mm).

P3AM-7702-14ENZ0

●Drives
The ETERNUS DX supports SAS disks, cost-efficient and high-capacity Nearline SAS disks, and very high per-
formance Solid State Drives (SSDs).
Up to 528 drives can be installed in the ETERNUS DX500 S3 and up to 1,056 drives can be installed in the
ETERNUS DX600 S3.
2.5" and 3.5" drives can be mixed in the same ETERNUS DX.
●Host Interfaces
SAN host interfaces can be selected from FC 16Gbit/s, FC 8Gbit/s, iSCSI 10Gbit/s, iSCSI 1Gbit/s, and FCoE
10Gbit/s. Up to 16 ports can be installed in a single ETERNUS DX500 S3 and up to 32 ports can be installed in
a single ETERNUS DX600 S3.
Ethernet 10Gbit/s or Ethernet 1Gbit/s can be selected for the NAS host interface. Up to 16 ports can be instal-
led in a single ETERNUS DX500 S3 and up to 32 ports can be installed in a single ETERNUS DX600 S3.
Different types of host interfaces can exist together in the same ETERNUS DX.
●Cache Capacity
The installable cache memory capacity when the storage system is used as a SAN storage system is up to
64GB for the ETERNUS DX500 S3 and up to 128GB for the ETERNUS DX600 S3.
●Model Upgrade
As a support for system scalability after installation, an ETERNUS DX can be upgraded to a higher-end model.
The ETERNUS DX500 S3 can be upgraded to the ETERNUS DX600 S3.
■High Reliability
The high reliability of the ETERNUS DX enables operations to continue even when hardware fails. The ETER-
NUS DX also protects data and provides high speed data access.
●Data Integrity
The ETERNUS DX adds check codes to all data that is saved. The data is verified at multiple checkpoints on
transmission paths to ensure data integrity.
In addition, the T10-DIF function (*2) is supported. The generated check codes and the data integrity are
checked in the transmission path to the servers in order to verify data. By linking the Data Integrity Exten-
sions (DIX) function of Oracle DB, data integrity can be ensured in the entire system including the server.
*2: T10-Data Integrity Field. SCSI specifications related to the data protection mechanism set by T10, a
Technical Committee that manages SCSI standards.
●Pro-active Monitoring
When a sign of potential drive failure is detected, the data from the suspected drive is restored to the hot
spare. When the restoration is complete, the hot spare is switched for the drive with a possible sign of drive
failure.
●Improved Connection Path Availability
Availability for data transfer paths between controllers and drives is now better than older models. Even if an
error occurs in a drive enclosure on a path, reverse cabling ensures continued access by using normal paths
to minimize the effect of the affected areas.

●Fast Recovery
A RAID level (RAID6-FR) that reduces data recovery times by supporting high speed recovery.
■Security
Security and compliance are essential for the globalization of business activities and for the company's re-
sponsibility in society.
An ETERNUS DX protects against external attacks and internal data leakage, ensures the reliability of infor-
mation, and manages information over long periods of time. A strong emphasis is placed upon encryption as
a measure against information leakage.
In addition, virus attacks can be constantly monitored with virus scans.
●Data Encryption
In order to ensure full data security, the ETERNUS DX supports Self Encrypting Drives (SEDs).
Fraudulent decoding can be prevented by encrypting the drive data. Even if a drive is removed or a drive that
is removed for maintenance is stolen by malicious third parties during transportation, data cannot be deco-
ded.
The SED encryption method is 256 bit AES (*3).
*3: Advanced Encryption Standard: Federal Information Processing Standards encryption method
●Key Management Server Linkage
By managing the authentication keys in an external server that is connected with the network, the authenti-
cation keys can be managed more securely, thereby reducing management costs and minimizing the risk of
information leakage. The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP), which is a standard protocol for
key management, is used for key management server linkage.
●Virus Scan
A virus scan function that protects data from computer viruses by linking with Trend Micro Inc.'s anti-virus
software is provided in NAS environments.
Virus attacks can be constantly monitored because files are scanned for viruses when accessed.
●Encrypted Network Transfer
Support of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Secure Shell (SSH), which enable encryption of the network data
that is transferred between the ETERNUS DX and the operation terminals, prevents any fraudulent access,
alteration, and information leakage from occurring.

■Cloud Platform
Optimal storage virtualization that supports cloud computing can provide a flexible ICT environment.
The system administrator can assign virtual resources flexibly on an on-demand basis according to operation
load regardless of the physical devices by virtualizing all of the servers and storage systems and setting up a
virtual resource pool.
●Disk Volume Virtualization
"Thin Provisioning", which is storage capacity virtualization technology, can reduce unused physical disks by
allocating only the required capacity as logical disks. This reduces the operational burden and the initial cost
that is required for upgrading the storage capacity (small start).
The ETERNUS DX has a function that balances writing areas on a volume basis to prevent concentrated access
to a specific RAID group in multiple RAID groups that configure a disk pool.
●Virtualization Integration
Various functions that are provided by Oracle VM, VMware, and Microsoft are supported to configure and op-
erate virtualized environments.
Linkage with software allows the backup of virtual environments (VMware/Hyper-V) without stopping the vir-
tual machines. A more effective use of resources and the integrated management of virtualized environ-
ments can be achieved by offloading the server load to the ETERNUS DX.
VMware vSphere's Virtual Volumes (VVOLs) that manage volumes for each virtual machine are also suppor-
ted. Finely tuned backup operations and resource management can be achieved according to the operational
requirements for each virtual machine.
■Operability
By using a virtual environment, the ETERNUS DX is able to utilize its resources more efficiently. In addition,
various connectivity options are provided and integrated storage management is available.
●Unified Storage
The ETERNUS DX provides SAN and NAS functions and enables a SAN/NAS storage integrated environment.
In a SAN environment, block data transfer is performed via FC, iSCSI, and FCoE.
In a NAS environment, the ETERNUS DX can be used as a file server to transfer file data by using the NFS
protocol and the CIFS protocol via Ethernet.
In addition, by installing ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser (storage management software), integrated monitoring
of SAN and NAS environments is available.
●Automated Storage Tiering
The ETERNUS DX supports Automated Storage Tiering. This function detects data access frequency and redis-
tributes data between drives with various drive types according to the policy that is set. The most suitable
cost effective performance can be realized by moving frequently accessed data to high performance SSDs and
less frequently accessed data to cost effective Nearline SAS disks in collaboration with ETERNUS SF Storage
Cruiser. Server settings do not need to be changed after redistribution.
●Easy Operation Management
Operation management can be easily performed with ETERNUS Web GUI by using a Web browser or with
ETERNUS CLI by using commands and command scripts.

●Stabilization of Processing Performance
When loads from one application are high in a storage integrated environment and sufficient resources to
process other operations cannot be secured, performance may be reduced remarkably.
The Quality of Service (QoS) function can be used to stabilize performance by setting the load upper limit for
each application to secure the processing performance of the server that needs to be processed preferentially
so that workload fluctuations do not affect other applications.
●Extreme Cache
Extreme Cache (SSD cache built in a controller) significantly increases the read cache capacity and ensures
low latency for access to shared data between servers.
●Power Control
The ETERNUS DX power can be controlled when the servers are powered on and off. Scheduled operations
can be performed according to the server operation.
■Business Continuity
The ETERNUS DX supports business continuity from the two perspectives of "data protection" and "disaster
recovery".
●Data Protection
The ETERNUS DX can continue to operate even if failures occur because the main components of the ETERNUS
DX are redundant.
If a power failure occurs, power is supplied from the battery, and data in the cache memory is backed up to
non-volatile memory. This protects the data in the cache memory without there being any restrictions on the
number of days that data is retained.
The components in the storage system are periodically diagnosed and monitored for signs of failure, which
enables error components to be dealt with at an early stage.
●Backup
High speed data replication can be performed at any point in time using the Advanced Copy functions in
conjunction with software such as ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager.
Copies of the file system (snapshots) can be acquired and saved periodically in NAS environments. Depend-
ing on the set schedule, differential data is automatically copied from the previous acquisition to that point
in time. A file restoration can be performed easily from the client.
●Disaster Recovery
Set up the same configuration as the business site and back up the data to the remote site in order to contin-
ue operation by switching to the remote site even when the business site fails. Backup operations can be
performed without interrupting business operations because backing up is performed between the storage
systems while the systems are running.
The ETERNUS DX deals with various business characteristics by allowing the selection of either the Asynchro-
nous mode, which emphasizes the I/O response time, or the Synchronous mode, which backs up all of the
data up until the point when a disaster occurs.

●Storage Cluster Configuration
Regarding connections with a SAN host, a cluster configuration between two ETERNUS DX storage systems is
possible. Even if some trouble occurs and I/O becomes inaccessible, operations can continue by automatically
switching the access destination to the standby ETERNUS DX.
■Environmental Friendliness
The ETERNUS DX is a green-certified product that satisfies Fujitsu's original strict environmental standards as
part of its global efforts to reduce the environmental burden.
The environmental burden is reduced by using an energy saving design that reduces power consumption.
●Energy Efficiency
The disk drives used in the ETERNUS DX have Eco-mode support by using the Massive Array of Idle Disks
(MAID) technology. Based on the scheduled use of specific disks, Eco-mode reduces the power consumption
of those disks by spinning down or by completely powering off the disks during periods of inactivity.
●RoHS Compliance
The ETERNUS DX complies with RoHS, as mandated by the European Parliament and Council. RoHS limits the
use in electric and electronic equipment of six specific chemicals: lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, cad-
mium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). In addition, lead-free
soldering is used for all printed-wiring boards.
