Data integrity and high availability To provide the highest levels of data integrity and availability, the HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array family uses RAID technologies and redundant hardware throughout the disk arrays, including: • RAID1, RAID5, RAID6 (mixing RAID levels is allowed) • Mirrored write cache • Dual channel adapters (CHAs) and array control processors (ACPs) • Dual and concurrently active data and control paths through the array • Split power domains on internal data paths • Hot-pluggable boards • Hot-pluggable fans, power supplies, and controllers • Online upgradable firmware The following features and products help ensure the disk array meets your requirements for high availability: • Capability to "phone home" to the multidisciplinary HP Storage Technology Center (STC). See HP StorageWorks Continuous Track XP. • Capability to "phone home" to the multidisciplinary HP Storage Technology Center (STC) using HP StorageWorks Continuous Track XP • Advanced remote diagnostics • Full solution (host-SAN-storage) support • Full software and solution integration enabled by HP software products. See "Chapter 4 Software" for details. 14 Overview
