Overview of the Enterprise Storage Array 1-1

Overview of the Enterprise

Storage Array

This chapter provides a description of the major components of the StorageWorks Enterprise

Storage Array (ESA) for I/O Intensive Applications. It also gives important prerequisite

information to ensure successful installation of the ESA.

1.1 Introduction

The ESAxxx-C4 are fully integrated storage solutions that are ideal for heavy transaction-

oriented applications, including most office automation applications.

The ESA solutions architecture incorporates the latest in StorageWorks RAID controller

technology as well as the StorageWorks Command Console, an easy-to-use centralized

configuration and management tool.

1.2 Prerequisites

You will need the following software and hardware to complete your ESA installation:

• A FWD SCSI-2 host adapter to connect to the ESA controller.

• A personal computer on which to run the StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC)

program (refer to Chapter 6 for minimum PC configuration requirements).

• A serial connection to the controllers which can be established either from your PC

running communication software, or from a maintenance terminal. Refer to the

Configuring Your StorageWorks Subsystem manual and the HSZ50 CLI Reference

manual for detailed information about serial connection requirements and the required

CLI commands.

1.3.1 Cabinet

The cabinet has 19 horizontal and 4 vertical shelf positions. Controller shelves are installed

in the middle and upper vertical shelf positions. The lower vertical shelf positions in the front

and rear of the cabinet are each reserved for CDU installation and cable routing. Storage

shelves are installed in the horizontal positions.
