Cabling the storage system
The StoreEasy systems support both single domain and dual domain cabling using D2000,
D3000, and D6000 disk enclosures, depending on the SmartArray RAID controller that is installed
in the system. In addition to D2000 and D6000, the StoreEasy 1x50 systems also support single
domain and dual domain cabling using the D3000 disk enclosure. See Table 1 (page 6) for
details. In a single domain, external disk enclosures are connected, using a single data path, to
the Smart Array controller1in the StoreEasy system. In a dual domain, external disk enclosures
are connected, using two data paths, to a single Smart Array RAID controller in the StoreEasy
system. For more detailed information about single and dual domains, see the technology brief
entitled, “Redundancy in enterprise storage networks using dual-domain SAS configurations”
located at: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?
docId=c01451157
1. Smart Array controllers included as standard with StoreEasy 1x50 products do not support external disk enclosures.
An optional Smart Array controller with external ports need to be ordered to support external enclosures.

NOTE:
•If the dual domain support is required for show platforms, you can replace the P222 controller
found in the 1440 and 1540 storage systems with a P822 controller.
•The StoreEasy 1450 and 1550 systems come standard with a Smart Array P440 storage
controller. The StoreEasy 1650 comes with P840ar or P440ar and 1850 come standard with
a Smart Array P440ar storage controller. These storage controllers are used to connect to
the internal disk drives, including the OS drives.
•The StoreEasy 1650 Expanded Storage system comes standard with two controllers, P840ar
and B140i.
•Optional P441 and P841 Smart Array controllers are used for connecting to external D2000,
D3000, or D6000 disk enclosures.
Cabling guidelines
This section provides information on the types of cables to be used with D3000 and D2000/D6000
disk enclosures supported by the P441 controller and the cabling guidelines.
The following are the types of cables that you can use with the D3000 disk enclosures:
•External 0.5m (1ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable
•External 1.0m (3ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable
•External 2.0m (6ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable
•External 4.0m (13ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable
The following are the types of cables that you can use with the D2000/D6000 disk enclosures:
•0.5m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
•1.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
•2.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
•4.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
•6.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
6 Setup and install

When connecting disk enclosures to the StoreEasy system, consider the following guidelines:
•In a single domain configuration, the secondary I/O modules on the D6000 are not used, so
they might or might not be installed. The cabling diagrams in this section show the secondary
I/O modules are not installed.
•For single domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by
the P441 or P841 controller are 1 D6000, 8 D2000s, or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
•For dual domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the
P441 controller are 8 D2000 or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
•For dual domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the
P841 controller are 1 D6000, 8 D2000s, or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
NOTE:
◦The maximums listed are based on the number of drives per controller. Any StoreEasy
system could have additional or alternate controllers installed, which would affect the
overall number of supported disk enclosures. The maximum number of enclosures that
can be connected to a controller is eight.
◦The P441 or P841 controllers support:
–Up to 200 physical drives.
–D2000 and D3000 disk enclosures; up to eight daisy chained in either single or
dual domain configuration.
–D6000 disk enclosure. Only one D6000 enclosure can be connected. Daisy chaining
is not supported.
•In the cabling diagrams for the D2000/D3000 disk enclosure, the D2600 disk enclosure is
used. Be aware that the cabling configuration is exactly the same for all D2000/D3000 disk
enclosures.
•The D6000 disk enclosure does not support the use of SAS daisy chains; the D2000/D3000
disk enclosures supports SAS daisy chains. In a SAS daisy chain, the D2000/D3000 disk
enclosures are connected to each other — I/O module A from each disk enclosure is
connected together and I/O module B of each disk enclosure is connected together.
•Only supported, documented cabling configurations are shown. Only cabling configurations
shown in this document or in related D2000/D3000 or D6000 documentation are supported
configurations.
CAUTION: When cabling a dual domain configuration, ensure that you do not connect multiple
controllers in the StoreEasy system to the same disk enclosure; this is an unsupported
configuration and might result in data loss. If the StoreEasy system is configured incorrectly, and
you attempt to use Pool Manager, Pool Manager will detect the configuration and display an error
message. The controllers can be connected to different disk enclosures.

7. Connections between the disk enclosures in Group 2
An alternate way of connecting the D2000 disk enclosures to the P822 controller is to have 4
groups of 2 disk enclosures each. This cabling option provides better fault tolerance because
the worst case scenario (besides a controller failure) is losing access to two disk enclosures if
one disk enclosure goes down. In Figure 10 (page 17), the worst case scenario is losing access
to all four disk enclosures in a group if one disk enclosure goes down.
NOTE: The cabling diagram in Figure 10 (page 17) illustrates the StoreEasy 1640 but the
cabling is exactly the same for the StoreEasy 1440 and 1840 using the P822 controller.

The following diagrams show different StoreEasy systems in dual domain configurations with
D6000 Disk Enclosures.
Figure 11 (page 18) shows the StoreEasy 1440 system with the P822 controller in a dual domain
configuration. In this configuration, the worst case scenario (besides a controller failure) is losing
½ of the D6000 if there is an I/O module failure.

Dual domain cabling diagrams with D2000/D3000 Disk Enclosures
In dual domain configurations with the D2000/D3000 Disk Enclosures, you have the option of
cabling for best fault tolerance or best performance.
Figure 13 (page 20) illustrates best fault tolerance, which provides the best data protection in
the event of an I/O module failure. The disk enclosures are put into two groups of four disk
enclosures each. There is always one path to the disk enclosure from the controller (from either
the top disk enclosure in the group or the bottom disk enclosure in the group). The green path
carries the data if the red path is broken. Besides a controller failure, the worst case scenario is
losing access to one I/O module if an I/O module fails. Figure 12 (page 19) also illustrates the
SAS daisy chain between disk enclosures.

Figure 14 (page 21) illustrates best performance. The difference between this cabling and fault
tolerance cabling is that the beginning and ending connections from the controller to a disk
enclosure are always to the first disk enclosure in the group. Essentially, the request from the
controller to a disk enclosure moves faster because it does not have to travel through a series
of disk enclosures. However, this cabling does not provide fault tolerance. If an I/O module in
the first disk enclosure fails, you will lose access to all disk enclosures in the group.
NOTE: The cabling diagram in Figure 14 (page 21) is exactly the same for the StoreEasy 1440
and 1640 using the P822 controller.
