Product Description 1 General Description Hewlett-Packard's StorageWorks Disk System 2405 (referred to in this guide as the disk system) is a high-availability Fibre Channel (FC) storage product. Dual optical fiber ports on dual link controllers provide Fibre Channel connections to the host. Fifteen slots accept high-speed, high-capacity FC disks connected to a FC midplane. Data throughput is 200 Mbytes/sec. Thirteen disk systems fill a 2-meter System/E rack. Filled with 18-Gbyte disks, the 2-meter Rack System/E yields 3.51 Terabytes of storage; with 36-Gbyte disks, 7.02 Terabytes of storage; and with 73-Gbyte disk, 14.23 Terabytes. Modular and redundant components are easy to upgrade and maintain. Disks, power supplies, and link control cards (LCCs) are replaceable parts that plug into individual slots in the front and back of the disk system. Redundant power supply/fan modules and LCCs can be removed and replaced without interrupting storage operations. Disks can be replaced with the system on, and only the affected file systems taken off-line. Hewlett-Packard technical support is optional for these procedures. Special electronics and HP-UX software enable remote monitoring and diagnostics. Sensors on the LCCs monitor the disk system environment, including temperature, voltage, fan speed, and component status. HewlettPackard's Command View SDM reports any changes in environmental status to user-defined locations. Standard HP-UX diagnostic utilities also report environmental data for enhanced troubleshooting. Product Description 13

the disk system) is a high-availability Fibre Channel (FC) storage product. Dual
optical fiber ports on dual link controllers provide Fibre Channel connections to
the host. Fifteen slots accept high-speed, high-capacity FC disks connected to a

Modular and redundant components are easy to upgrade and maintain. Disks,
power supplies, and link control cards (LCCs) are replaceable parts that plug into
individual slots in the front and back of the disk system. Redundant power
supply/fan modules and LCCs can be removed and replaced without interrupting
storage operations. Disks can be replaced with the system on, and only the

including temperature, voltage, fan speed, and component status. Hewlett-
Packard’s Command View SDM reports any changes in environmental status to
user-defined locations. Standard HP-UX diagnostic utilities also report
