Controller Modules
RAID Controller Modules
The RAID controller modules provide high-performance, advanced virtual disk configuration, and fault-
tolerant disk subsystem management. Each RAID controller module contains 4GB or 8GB of mirrored
cache for high availability and a battery-powered cache offload mechanism.
NOTE: The 8GB mirrored cache is an optional feature.
RAID controller modules provide the following data path and enclosure management functions:
•
Monitoring and controlling enclosure environment elements (temperature, fans, power supplies, and
enclosure LEDs)
•
Controlling access to the physical disks
•
Communicating enclosure attributes and states to the host server and management station
Each RAID controller module has multiple Fibre Channel (FC) ports (labeled FC IN) for host access. The
ports provide redundant host connections and support a high availability storage environment. Each port
must have a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module installed for connectivity. Various
configurations can be utilized, in both single controller (simplex) and dual controller (duplex) modes, to
connect the storage enclosure to hosts depending on specific redundancy needs.
For information on cabling, see the MD3800f and MD3820f Series Storage Arrays Deployment Guide, at
