Product Overview

This chapter describes the configuration options and setup and configuration

dependencies and requirements for the HP StorageWorks NAS b2000 v2.

Configuration Options

The NAS b2000 v2 is specifically designed for file serving; it

offers optimized

performance for a growing environment. Storage capacity can increase as a

business grows without down time or compromised performance.

The NAS b2000 is available in two models: an internal storage model and an

external storage model.

The internal storage model ships with an integrated Smart Array 5i+ Controller

for internal storage, three 146-GB drives for data, and two 36.4-GB drives for the

operating system.

The external SCSI port of the integrated Smart Array 5i+ Controller can also

support one additional HP StorageWorks 4300 Family storage enclosure for an

extra 2 TB (terabyte) of storage as an external storage option with 146-GB drives.

Both models support up to three Smart Array 5300 Family array controllers

populated into the available PCI slots. Each Smart Array supports four storage

enclousures for a total support of 12 enclosures when all three Smart Arrays are in

use. A total of 27 TB of storage spanning one hundred eighty-six 146-GB hard

drives is supported with all options when fully populated.
