Preface
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G900 Hardware Reference Guide 12

Chapter 1: Overview
The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G900 is a versatile modular, rack-mountable hybrid
array storage system equipped with drive boxes, supporting SAS drives, ash drives, and
TLC-NAND ash module drives, scaled for various storage capacity congurations.
The storage systems provide high performance operations by using dual controllers with
high-speed processors, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache ash
memory (CFM), battery, fans and ports to connect iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules.
Each controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management. If the data
path through one controller fails, all data drives remain available to hosts using a
redundant data path through the other controller.
For reliability, essential hardware components are implemented with a redundant
conguration so that the storage system can remain operational if a component fails.
Adding and replacing components, along with rmware upgrades, can be conducted
while the storage system is active and without interruption of data availability to the
hosts. A hot spare drive can be congured to replace a failed data drive automatically,
securing the fault-tolerant integrity of the logical drives. Self-contained, hardware-based
RAID logical drives provide maximum performance in compact external enclosures.
Block configuration
A storage system congured for block-level storage provides the ability to access and
provision raw storage volumes using protocols such as Fibre Channel and iSCSI.
A block conguration consists of the following:
■Two controllers
■One or more drive trays
■Optional service processor (SVP)
Features
All storage systems are highly reliable, versatile, and able to scale its performance by
adding more drive chassis and data drives. Depending on the system conguration, the
drive chassis oerings support SAS-interface disk, solid-state, and ash module drives.
Chapter 1: Overview
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G900 Hardware Reference Guide 13

High performance
■Dual controller conguration distributes processing to each controller
■Equipped with high capacity cache to provide a total of 1,024 GB of high-speed
processing
■Flash drive conguration increases I/O processing speeds
■Equipped with 32/16-Gbps Fibre Channel or 10-Gbps iSCSI interface facilitates high-
speed data transfer
High reliability
■Main system components are congured with redundancy to maintain continued
service
■RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6 support (RAID 6 including 14D+2P)
■Provides data security by transferring data to cache ash memory at the time of a
power outage
Scalability and versatility
■Small form-factor drive tray (DBS): Up to 24 2.5-inch HDDs or ash drives can be
installed (2U size)
■Large form-factor drive tray (DBL): Up to 12 3.5-inch HDDs can be installed (2U size)
■High-density intermix drive tray (DB60): Up to 60 3.5-inch HDDs can be installed (4U
size)
■Flash drive tray (DBF): Up to 12 ash module drives (FMD) can be installed (2U size)
■Supports system environments with mixed operating systems such as UNIX, Linux,
Windows, and VMware
Features
Chapter 1: Overview
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G900 Hardware Reference Guide 14

Chapter 2: System controller
The storage systems are equipped with dual controllers for communicating with a data
host.
Each controller includes the following internal components such as a processor, dual in-
line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache ash memory (CFM), battery, and fans. The
controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management using Hitachi Device
Manager - Storage Navigator. If the data path through one controller fails, all drives
remain available to data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller.
The controller is equipped with LED indicators for monitoring its operating conditions
and notifying possible component replacement.
CBL controller chassis
The controller chassis houses controllers, backup fan modules, and power supplies. The
chassis also includes specic functional LEDs located on the front and rear of controller
to provide its operating status.
The following table lists the controller board specications.
