Physical and Environmental Requirements 21

System operating limits The ambient temperature specification is measured at the front bezel inlet. The site must have air conditioning of the correct size and placement to maintain the specified ambient temperature range and offset the heat dissipation listed below.

NOTE: For systems mounted in a cabinet, the operating limits listed above must not be exceeded inside the closed cabinet.

Equipment mounted directly above or below an enclosure must not restrict the front-to-rear airflow of the storage system.

Cabinet doors must not impede the front-to-rear airflow. The cabinet must exhaust air at a rate that is equal to or greater

than the sum of the exhaust rates of all the equipment mounted in the cabinet.

Environmental recovery

If the system exceeds the maximum ambient temperature by approximately 10C (18F), the storage processors (SPs) in the processor enclosure begin an orderly shutdown that saves cached data, and then shut themselves down. Link control cards (LCCs) in each DAE power down their disks but remain powered on. If the system detects that the temperature has dropped to an acceptable level, it restores power to the SPs and the LCCs restore power to their disk drives.

Air quality requirements The products are designed to be consistent with the requirements of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Environmental Standard Handbook and the most current revision of Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments, Second Edition, ASHRAE 2009b.

Cabinets are best suited for Class 1 datacom environments, which consist of tightly controlled environmental parameters, including temperature, dew point, relative humidity and air quality. These facilities house mission-critical equipment and are typically fault-tolerant, including the air conditioners.

The data center should maintain a cleanliness level as identified in ISO 14664-1, class 8 for particulate dust and pollution control. The air entering the data center should be filtered with a MERV 11 filter or better. The air within the data center should be continuously filtered with a MERV 8 or better filtration system. In addition, efforts should be maintained to prevent conductive particles, such as zinc whiskers, from entering the facility.

The allowable relative humidity level is 20 to 80% non condensing, however, the recommended operating environment range is 40 to 55%. For data centers with gaseous contamination, such as high sulfur content, lower temperatures and humidity are recommended to minimize the risk of hardware corrosion and degradation. In general, the humidity fluctuations within the data center should be minimized. It is also recommended that the data center be positively pressured and have air curtains on entry ways to prevent outside air contaminants and humidity from entering the facility.

For facilities below 40% relative humidity, it is recommended to use grounding straps when contacting the equipment to avoid the risk of Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can harm electronic equipment.

As part of an ongoing monitoring process for the corrosiveness of the environment, it is recommended to place copper and silver coupons (per ISA 71.04-1985, Section 6.1 Reactivity), in airstreams representative of those in the data center. The monthly reactivity rate of the coupons should be less than 300 Angstroms. When monitored reactivity rate is exceeded, the coupon should be analyzed for material species and a corrective mitigation process put in place.

Storage time (unpowered) recommendation: do not exceed 6 consecutive months of unpowered storage.

Shipping and storage requirements NOTE: Systems and components must not experience changes in temperature and humidity that are likely to cause

condensation to form on or in that system or component. Do not exceed the shipping and storage temperature gradient of

Slot addition rules

A maximum of six optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet) are allowed in systems without Extended Retention software, and a maximum of five optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet) are allowed in systems with Extended Retention software.

Additional FC modules should be installed in numerically increasing slot numbers immediately to the right of the existing FC modules, or starting in slot 0 if no FC modules were originally installed. A maximum of four FC modules are allowed in a system.

Additional Ethernet modules should be installed in numerically decreasing slot numbers immediately to the left of the existing Ethernet modules or starting in slot 4 if no Ethernet modules were originally installed. For systems without Extended Retention software, a maximum of six (limited to four of any one type) Ethernet modules can be present. For systems with Extended Retention software, a maximum of five (limited to four of any one type) Ethernet modules can be present.

All systems include two SAS modules in slots 7 and 8. Systems with Extended Retention software must have two additional SAS modules in slots 5 and 6.

For systems without Extended Retention software, if adding I/O modules results in the allowed maximum of six I/O modules present, slot 5 is used. Slot 5 is only used for an Ethernet module. Adding FC modules in this specific case require moving an existing Ethernet module to slot 5. Other than this specific case, it is not recommended to move I/O modules between slots.

Adding Extended Retention software to a system includes adding two SAS modules in slots 5 and 6. If the system originally had the maximum of 6 optional I/O modules, the I/O module in slot 5 must be permanently removed from the system.

Fibre Channel (FC) I/O Module Option

An FC I/O module is a dual-port Fibre Channel module. The optional virtual tape library (VTL) feature requires at least one FC I/O module. Boost over Fiber Channel is optional and the total FC HBAs cannot exceed more than allowable Fibre Channel cards per controller.

Ethernet I/O Module Options

The available Ethernet I/O modules are:

Dual Port 10GBase-SR Optical with LC connectors

DD4200 47

Dual Port 10GBase-CX1 Direct Attach Copper with SPF+ module Quad Port 1000Base-T Copper with RJ-45 connectors Quad port 2 port 1000Base-T Copper (RJ45) /2 port 1000Base-SR Optical

DD4200 and ES30 shelf guidelines

The Data Domain system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your Data Domain system as listed in the following table below. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your Data Domain system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

NOTE:

ES30 SAS shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 or later.

ES30-45 SATA shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 or later.

DD OS 5.7 and later support 4TB drives.

Types of cabinets and power connections

The ES30 chassis is installed in two types of racks: 40U-C (existing racks) and the 40U-P (newer racks). The racks use one phase or 3-phase power connections.

This section describes the different types of racks and the power connections for the ES30 chassis.

Single phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

The following illustrations show single phase power connections for 40U-P racks that are used for several Data Domain systems.

3-Phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks that are used for several Data Domain systems. In those situations, it is desirable to balance the current draw across all three phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal configuration depends on the specific installation. The following illustrations show recommended 3-phase power connections for several Data Domain systems.

NOTE: The next few diagrams show recommended 3-phase delta power connections.

Cabling shelves

NOTE:

Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit installation instructions included

with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.

60 DD4200

The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then use another port as defined

later for that specific system.

On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets. The ports on the second node

must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports on the first node.

Ports on the systems SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controllers host port. For redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.

There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.

ES30 and DD4200 cabling

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of ES20, ES30 SATA, and ES30 SAS shelves to your system. If a system does not follow ALL of these rules it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

Follow the minimum and maximum shelf capacity configuration provided in the table. You cannot have ES20 and ES30 shelves in the same set. You cannot have ES30 SATA and ES30 SAS shelves in the same set. You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the product's cabling table. The maximum number of shelves displayed in the product's cabling table cannot be exceeded. You cannot have more than four ES20s in a single set (maximum preference is three). You cannot have more than five ES30s in a single set (maximum preference is four). You can have a maximum of seven ES30s for systems with Extended Retention software. There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for the metadata shelves for DD Cloud Tier configurations. These

shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30 shelves.

NOTE: An ES20 requires more power than an ES30. Ensure that your rack is configured to handle the power needs.

The tables below show how to configure a mixed system. To use the tables, go to the appropriate system. Then find the number of ES20s that are to be configured in the first column. The next column defines the number of ES20 sets. If there are multiple rows with the same number of ES20s then pick the row with the appropriate number of ES20 SATA shelves. The next column in that row defines the number of sets of ES30 SATA shelves. Finally, there may be entries for the number of desired ES30 SAS shelves and the number of sets to be used.

If the combinations of shelves exceed the supported usable storage, there may not be an entry. The entries are based on the smallest usable storage per shelf type (12TB for ES20, 12 TB for ES30 SATA, and 24TB for ES30 SAS). Always check that the sum of the usable storage of all of the shelves does not exceed the supported usable storage of the configuration.

DD4200 and DS60 shelf guidelines

The Data Domain system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your Data Domain system as listed in the following table. For redundancy, the two connections from a Data Domain system to a set of shelves must use ports on different SAS I/O

modules. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your Data Domain system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain. If ES30 SAS shelves are on the same chain as a DS60, the maximum number of shelves on that chain is 5.

66 DD4200

DD OS 5.7.1 does not support HA with SATA drives.

DS60 and DD4200 cabling

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of DS60 and other shelf types to your system.

72 DD4200

CAUTION: If a system does not follow all these rules, it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

You cannot exceed the maximum amount of usable capacity displayed in cabling table for each system. You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in cabling table for each system. You cannot connect more than two DS60 shelves in a single set.

System Appliance maximum Minimum appliance shelf count

DD4200 192 TB 1

Mixing DS60, ES30, and ES20 shelves:

The non-Extended Retention versions of these systems all support four chains.

Extra planning and reconfiguration may be required to add DS60 shelves to system with ES20 shelves, ES30 SATA shelves, or a combination of shelves.

The ES20 shelves must be on their own set. Minimize the ES20 set count by combining up to four ES20s per set. ES30 SATA shelves must also be on their own sets. Minimize the ES30 set count by combining up to five ES30s per set. If

required, combine up to seven ES30 SAS shelves per set to minimize the set count. A set can contain a maximum of two DS60 shelves and, if required because of other restrictions, add ES30 SAS shelves up

to a maximum of five shelves in that set.

NOTE: The configuration rules apply also to Extended Retention systems.

The following figures show cabling for base systems and systems with the Extended Retention software.

NOTE: It is recommended that the DS60 shelf with the greater number of drives should always be placed in the bottom

position.

Power supply units

A system has two power supply units, numbered A and B from the bottom up. Each power supply has its own integral cooling fan. Each power unit has three LEDs (see System LED legend label on page 43) that indicates the following states:

AC LED: Glows green when AC input is good DC LED: Glows green when DC output is good Symbol !: Glows solid or blinking amber for fault or attention

The AC power plugs are located to the right of each power supply. These plugs are pulled to disconnect AC power to each power supply.

AC power extender module

AC power entry is connected at the rear of the system. The AC power extender module provides power to the two power supplies on the front of the system. AC Power plugs are located in the front. The module is adjacent to the SP module and can be removed and replaced.

80 DD4500

Cooling Fans

A system contains five hot-swappable cooling fans in a 4+1 redundant configuration. The fans provide cooling for the processors, DIMMs, IO modules, and the management module. Each fan has a fault LED which causes the fan housing to glow amber. A system can run with one fan faulted or removed.

Solid-state drives

A system contains three hot-swappable 2.5" solid-state drive (SSD) bays that are located in the front and on top of the fan modules. There are four drive bays, with the left-most bay containing a blank. The next drive to the right of the blank is SSD #1, the next is #2, and the right-most bay contains SSD #3. No user backup data is kept on the SSDs.

Each drive has a blue colored power LED and an amber fault LED.

Front LED Indicators

The photo below indicates the location of the four system LEDs.

Slot addition rules

A maximum of six optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet) are allowed in systems without Extended Retention software, and a maximum of five optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet) are allowed in systems with Extended Retention software.

Additional FC modules should be installed in numerically increasing slot numbers immediately to the right of the existing FC modules, or starting in slot 0 if no FC modules were originally installed. A maximum of four FC modules are allowed in a system.

Additional Ethernet modules should be installed in numerically decreasing slot numbers immediately to the left of the existing Ethernet modules or starting in slot 4 if no Ethernet modules were originally installed. For systems without Extended Retention software, a maximum of six (limited to four of any one type) Ethernet modules can be present. For systems with Extended Retention software, a maximum of five (limited to four of any one type) Ethernet modules can be present.

All systems include two SAS modules in slots 7 and 8. Systems with Extended Retention software must have two additional SAS modules in slots 5 and 6.

For systems without Extended Retention software, if adding I/O modules results in the allowed maximum of six I/O modules present, slot 5 is used. Slot 5 is only used for an Ethernet module. Adding FC modules in this specific case require moving an existing Ethernet module to slot 5. Other than this specific case, it is not recommended to move I/O modules between slots.

Adding Extended Retention software to a system includes adding two SAS modules in slots 5 and 6. If the system originally had the maximum of 6 optional I/O modules, the I/O module in slot 5 must be permanently removed from the system.

Fibre Channel (FC) I/O Module Option

An FC I/O module is a dual-port Fibre Channel module. The optional virtual tape library (VTL) feature requires at least one FC I/O module. Boost over Fiber Channel is optional and the total FC HBAs cannot exceed more than allowable Fibre Channel cards per controller.

Ethernet I/O Module Options

The available Ethernet I/O modules are:

Dual Port 10GBase-SR Optical with LC connectors

86 DD4500

Dual Port 10GBase-CX1 Direct Attach Copper with SPF+ module Quad Port 1000Base-T Copper with RJ-45 connectors Quad port 2 port 1000Base-T Copper (RJ45) /2 port 1000Base-SR Optical

DD4500 and ES30 shelf guidelines

The Data Domain system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your Data Domain system as listed in the following table below. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your Data Domain system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

NOTE:

ES30 SAS shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 or later.

ES30-45 SATA shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 or later.

Cabling shelves

NOTE:

90 DD4500

Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit installation instructions included

with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.

The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then use another port as defined

later for that specific system.

On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets. The ports on the second node

must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports on the first node.

Ports on the systems SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controllers host port. For redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.

There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of ES20, ES30 SATA, and ES30 SAS shelves to your system. If a system does not follow ALL of these rules it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

Follow the minimum and maximum shelf capacity configuration provided in the table. You cannot have ES20 and ES30 shelves in the same set. You cannot have ES30 SATA and ES30 SAS shelves in the same set. You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the product's cabling table. The maximum number of shelves displayed in the product's cabling table cannot be exceeded. You cannot have more than four ES20s in a single set (maximum preference is three). You cannot have more than five ES30s in a single set (maximum preference is four). You can have a maximum of seven ES30s for systems with Extended Retention software. There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for the metadata shelves for DD Cloud Tier configurations. These

shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30 shelves.

NOTE: An ES20 requires more power than an ES30. Ensure that your rack is configured to handle the power needs.

The tables below show how to configure a mixed system. To use the tables, go to the appropriate system. Then find the number of ES20s that are to be configured in the first column. The next column defines the number of ES20 sets. If there are multiple rows with the same number of ES20s then pick the row with the appropriate number of ES20 SATA shelves. The next column in that row defines the number of sets of ES30 SATA shelves. Finally, there may be entries for the number of desired ES30 SAS shelves and the number of sets to be used.

If the combinations of shelves exceed the supported usable storage, there may not be an entry. The entries are based on the smallest usable storage per shelf type (12TB for ES20, 12 TB for ES30 SATA, and 24TB for ES30 SAS). Always check that the sum of the usable storage of all of the shelves does not exceed the supported usable storage of the configuration.

DD4500 and DS60 shelf guidelines

The Data Domain system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your Data Domain system as listed in the following table. For redundancy, the two connections from a Data Domain system to a set of shelves must use ports on different SAS I/O

modules. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your Data Domain system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

96 DD4500

If ES30 SAS shelves are on the same chain as a DS60, the maximum number of shelves on that chain is 5. DD OS 5.7.1 does not support HA with SATA drives.

3-phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks used for several Data Domain systems. In those situations it is desirable to balance the current draw across all 3 phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal

98 DD4500

configuration is dependent on the specific installation. The following figures show recommended 3-phase power connections for several Data Domain systems.

DS60 and DD4500 cabling

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of DS60 and other shelf types to your system.

102 DD4500

CAUTION: If a system does not follow all these rules, it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

You cannot exceed the maximum amount of usable capacity displayed in cabling table for each system. You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in cabling table for each system. You cannot connect more than two DS60 shelves in a single set.

Table 33. Minimum and maximum configurations

System Appliance maximum Minimum appliance shelf count

DD4500 288 TB 1

Mixing DS60, ES30, and ES20 shelves:

The non-Extended Retention versions of these systems all support four chains.

Extra planning and reconfiguration may be required to add DS60 shelves to system with ES20 shelves, ES30 SATA shelves, or a combination of shelves.

The ES20 shelves must be on their own set. Minimize the ES20 set count by combining up to four ES20s per set. ES30 SATA shelves must also be on their own sets. Minimize the ES30 set count by combining up to five ES30s per set. If

required, combine up to seven ES30 SAS shelves per set to minimize the set count. A set can contain a maximum of two DS60 shelves and, if required because of other restrictions, add ES30 SAS shelves up

to a maximum of five shelves in that set.

NOTE: The configuration rules apply also to Extended Retention systems.

The following figures show cabling for base systems and systems with the Extended Retention software.

NOTE: It is recommended that the DS60 shelf with the greater number of drives should always be placed in the bottom

position.

Front LED indicators

The front of the system contain 12 disk drive status LEDs that are normally blue, and blink when there is activity on the disk. The LEDs are shaped like triangles, and the apex of the triangle points left or right, indicating that disk's status. If the disk drive has a failure, the disks status LED turns from blue to amber, indicating that a drive must be replaced.

The front also contains two system status LEDs. A blue system power LED is present that is on whenever the system has power. An amber system fault LED is also present that is normally off and lit amber whenever the chassis or any other FRU in the system requires service.

DIMMs overview

Dual in-line memory modules (DIMM) come in various sizes, which must be configured in a certain way. This topic can help you select the correct configuration when servicing DIMMs.

The storage processor contains two Intel processors each with an integrated memory controller that supports four channels of memory. The storage processor allows two DIMM slots per channel, so the storage processor supports a total of 16 DIMM slots.

DD6300 and ES30 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table below. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

Types of cabinets and power connections

The ES30 chassis is installed in two types of racks: 40U-C (existing racks) and the 40U-P (newer racks). The racks use one phase or 3-phase power connections.

3-Phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks that are used for several systems. In those situations, it is desirable to balance the current draw across all three phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal configuration depends on the specific installation.

Cabling shelves

NOTE:

Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit installation instructions included

with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.

The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then use another port as defined

later for that specific system.

On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets. The ports on the second node

must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports on the first node.

Ports on the systems SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controllers host port. For redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.

There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.

DD6300, DD6800, and DD9300 shelf configurations

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of DS60 and other shelf types to your system.

CAUTION: If a system does not follow ALL of these rules it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the cabling table for each system. You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in the cabling table for each system. There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for SSD shelves, or the metadata shelves for Cloud Tier

configurations. These shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30 shelves.

DD6300 and DS60 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table. For redundancy, the two connections from a system to a set of shelves must use ports on different SAS I/O modules. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain. If ES30 SAS shelves are on the same chain as a DS60, the maximum number of shelves on that chain is 5.

Front LED indicators

The front of the system contain 12 disk drive status LEDs that are normally blue, and blink when there is activity on the disk. The LEDs are shaped like triangles, and the apex of the triangle points left or right, indicating that disk's status. If the disk drive has a failure, the disks status LED turns from blue to amber, indicating that a drive must be replaced.

The front also contains two system status LEDs. A blue system power LED is present that is on whenever the system has power. An amber system fault LED is also present that is normally off and lit amber whenever the chassis or any other FRU in the system requires service.

I/O modules are only supported in fixed configurations. The fixed configurations define the exact slots into which the I/O modules may be inserted. The processors directly drive the eight I/O module slots, meaning all slots are full performance.

The non-optional SAS, NVRAM, and 10GBaseT I/O modules are allocated to fixed slots. The optional Host Interface I/O modules are used for front end networking and Fibre Channel connections. The quantity and type of these I/O modules is customizable, and there are many valid configurations.

DIMMs overview

Dual in-line memory modules (DIMM) come in various sizes, which must be configured in a certain way. This topic can help you select the correct configuration when servicing DIMMs.

The storage processor contains two Intel processors each with an integrated memory controller that supports four channels of memory. The storage processor allows two DIMM slots per channel, so the storage processor supports a total of 16 DIMM slots.

DD6800 and ES30 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table below. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. DD6800 systems support ES30 SATA shelves after controller upgrades from older models. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

1. This figure only counts drives that have user data in the shelves.

2. The raw capacity of an ES30 is 125% of the available capacity.

3. Recommended configurations start at four shelves per set and expand beyond that as required. For HA configurations, the FS15 counts as a shelf.

4. DDOS 6.x and later and FS15 SSD shelf configuration

134 DD6800

Types of cabinets and power connections

The ES30 chassis is installed in two types of racks: 40U-C (existing racks) and the 40U-P (newer racks). The racks use one phase or 3-phase power connections.

3-Phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks that are used for several systems. In those situations, it is desirable to balance the current draw across all three phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal configuration depends on the specific installation.

Cabling shelves

NOTE:

Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit installation instructions included

with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.

The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then use another port as defined

later for that specific system.

On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets. The ports on the second node

must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports on the first node.

Ports on the systems SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controllers host port. For redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.

There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.

DD6300, DD6800, and DD9300 shelf configurations

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of DS60 and other shelf types to your system.

CAUTION: If a system does not follow ALL of these rules it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the cabling table for each system. You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in the cabling table for each system. There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for SSD shelves, or the metadata shelves for Cloud Tier

configurations. These shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30 shelves.

DD6800 and DS60 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table. For redundancy, the two connections from a system to a set of shelves must use ports on different SAS I/O modules. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain. If ES30 SAS shelves are on the same chain as a DS60, the maximum number of shelves on that chain is 5.

High Availability

DD6900 supports Active-Passive High Availability (A-P HA or just A-P). The following table summarizes the hardware changes to support A-P HA:

Table 77. HA configuration requirements

Hardware Change to support HA

Active-Passive HA

Additional memory No extra memory required.

HA private interconnect Cluster Interconnect : A-P requires the use of two ports from the on-board quad-port 10 GbE Network Daughter Card.

NVRAM A-P requires a single 16 GB NVRAM card (same as non-HA).

SAS Connectivity Both nodes of an A-P HA pair require redundant SAS connectivity to the storage array. (Note: a single node system also has redundant connectivity to the storage array.)

SSD Requirements SSDs are contained within FS25 and are available from both nodes.

HA Network Interconnect

The HA Network Interconnect, required for HA configurations, is a dedicated 10 GbE connection between the two nodes of an HA pair. The interconnect is used to write data (and metadata) from the active node's NVRAM to the passive node's NVRAM.

Two 10GbE links are used to meet the bandwidth requirements for the private interconnect. Traffic across the private interconnect has roughly the same bandwidth as is written to the NVRAM card. The dual 10-GbE links can move about 2 GB/s in each direction.

HA SAS Interconnect

HA configurations require that the SSDs' cache drives be shared between both nodes and have redundant SAS connections to all shelves.

I/O population rules

The following figures show the I/O module slot numbers.

The slot labeled N is the network daughter card, which contains ports ethMa, ethMb, ethMc, and ethMd.

The physical interface name format for the other I/O module slots is ethXy, where X is the slot number and y is an alphanumeric character. For example, eth0a.

For most horizontal I/O module NIC interfaces, the port numbering goes from left to right, with ethXa on the left. The horizontal I/O module slots on the left-in slots 1-3 are inverted. The port numbering on these I/O modules in these slots goes from right to left, with ethXa on the right.

The management port ethMa is the first port set up by the Configuration Wizard. It is marked with a red rectangle in the figure below.

Figure 85. Slot numbering

The general population rules can be summarized as:

1. Populate a given I/O in the available slots listed. 2. Select the first available slot in the group. 3. Follow the steps for each I/O in the order specified. 4. Slots 4 and 8 should be reserved for x16 cards unless there are no available x8 slots.

I/O module servicing

All I/O modules are user serviceable and may be replaced when the system is powered off. On-line service of I/O modules is not support. A module that is hot-inserted into the system will remain powered off and will not be powered on until the next reboot of the system. A module that is hot-removed causes an operating system to immediately reboot.

DD6900 DIMM configurations

The SP Module contains two Intel SP processors each with an integrated memory controller that supports six channels of DDR4 memory. The CPU enables two DIMM slots per channel, so the SP Module supports 24 DIMM slots.

Each DDR4 DIMM is connected to the system board through an industry standard 288-pin DDR4 DIMM connector. This system uses registered DIMMs with Dell EMC ControlCenter at 72 bits wide (64-bits data + 8-bits Dell EMC ControlCenter) up to a maximum of 2400MT/s speed.

DD6900, DD9400, and DD9900 storage shelves configurations and capacities

DD6900, DD9400, and DD9900 do not store data on internal disk drives and rely on external disk array shelves to provide storage. DS60 disk shelves and ES40 shelves are connected to systems using 12 Gb Mini-SAS HD ports, which are implemented on the SAS HBAs.

The systems also support external metadata storage (cache) shelf FS25. External cache shelf only hosts DD OS depended metadata for performance acceleration.

The ES40 SAS shelf contains 15 drives, which includes 12 drives of usable storage, two parity drives, and one hot spare.

The DS60 shelf contains 60 drives. Drives are configured in four groups of 15 drives. Each group contains two parity drives and one hot spare, so each group provides 12 drives of usable storage. A fully configured DS60 shelf provides 48 drives of usable storage.

Power supply units

A system has two power supply units, numbered A and B from the bottom up. Each power supply has its own integral cooling fan. Each power unit has three LEDs (see System LED legend label on page 43) that indicates the following states:

AC LED: Glows green when AC input is good DC LED: Glows green when DC output is good Symbol !: Glows solid or blinking amber for fault or attention

The AC power plugs are located to the right of each power supply. These plugs are pulled to disconnect AC power to each power supply.

AC power extender module

AC power entry is connected at the rear of the system. The AC power extender module provides power to the two power supplies on the front of the system. AC Power plugs are located in the front. The module is adjacent to the SP module and can be removed and replaced.

154 DD7200

Cooling Fans

A system contains five hot-swappable cooling fans in a 4+1 redundant configuration. The fans provide cooling for the processors, DIMMs, IO modules, and the management module. Each fan has a fault LED which causes the fan housing to glow amber. A system can run with one fan faulted or removed.

Solid-state drives

A system contains three hot-swappable 2.5" solid-state drive (SSD) bays that are located in the front and on top of the fan modules. There are four drive bays, with the left-most bay containing a blank. The next drive to the right of the blank is SSD #1, the next is #2, and the right-most bay contains SSD #3. No user backup data is kept on the SSDs.

Each drive has a blue colored power LED and an amber fault LED.

Front LED Indicators

The photo below indicates the location of the four system LEDs.

Slot addition rules

A maximum of six optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet) are allowed in systems without Extended Retention software, and a maximum of five optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet) are allowed in systems with Extended Retention software.

Additional FC modules should be installed in numerically increasing slot numbers immediately to the right of the existing FC modules, or starting in slot 0 if no FC modules were originally installed. A maximum of four FC modules are allowed in a system.

Additional Ethernet modules should be installed in numerically decreasing slot numbers immediately to the left of the existing Ethernet modules or starting in slot 4 if no Ethernet modules were originally installed. For systems without Extended Retention software, a maximum of six (limited to four of any one type) Ethernet modules can be present. For systems with Extended Retention software, a maximum of five (limited to four of any one type) Ethernet modules can be present.

All systems include two SAS modules in slots 7 and 8. Systems with Extended Retention software must have two additional SAS modules in slots 5 and 6.

For systems without Extended Retention software, if adding I/O modules results in the allowed maximum of six I/O modules present, slot 5 is used. Slot 5 is only used for an Ethernet module. Adding FC modules in this specific case require moving an existing Ethernet module to slot 5. Other than this specific case, it is not recommended to move I/O modules between slots.

Adding Extended Retention software to a system includes adding two SAS modules in slots 5 and 6. If the system originally had the maximum of 6 optional I/O modules, the I/O module in slot 5 must be permanently removed from the system.

Fibre Channel (FC) I/O Module Option

An FC I/O module is a dual-port Fibre Channel module. The optional virtual tape library (VTL) feature requires at least one FC I/O module. Boost over Fiber Channel is optional and the total FC HBAs cannot exceed more than allowable Fibre Channel cards per controller.

Ethernet I/O Module Options

The available Ethernet I/O modules are:

Dual Port 10GBase-SR Optical with LC connectors

DD7200 and ES30 shelf guidelines

The Data Domain system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your Data Domain system as listed in the following table below. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your Data Domain system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

NOTE:

ES30 SAS shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 or later.

ES30-45 SATA shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 or later.

DD OS 5.7 and later support 4TB drives.

Cabling shelves

NOTE:

164 DD7200

Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit installation instructions included

with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.

The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then use another port as defined

later for that specific system.

On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets. The ports on the second node

must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports on the first node.

Ports on the systems SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controllers host port. For redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.

There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.

ES30 and DD7200 cabling

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of ES20, ES30 SATA, and ES30 SAS shelves to your system. If a system does not follow ALL of these rules it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

Follow the minimum and maximum shelf capacity configuration provided in the table. You cannot have ES20 and ES30 shelves in the same set. You cannot have ES30 SATA and ES30 SAS shelves in the same set. You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the product's cabling table. The maximum number of shelves displayed in the product's cabling table cannot be exceeded. You cannot have more than four ES20s in a single set (maximum preference is three). You cannot have more than five ES30s in a single set (maximum preference is four). You can have a maximum of seven ES30s for systems with Extended Retention software. There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for the metadata shelves for DD Cloud Tier configurations. These

shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30 shelves.

NOTE: An ES20 requires more power than an ES30. Ensure that your rack is configured to handle the power needs.

The tables below show how to configure a mixed system. To use the tables, go to the appropriate system. Then find the number of ES20s that are to be configured in the first column. The next column defines the number of ES20 sets. If there are multiple rows with the same number of ES20s then pick the row with the appropriate number of ES20 SATA shelves. The next column in that row defines the number of sets of ES30 SATA shelves. Finally, there may be entries for the number of desired ES30 SAS shelves and the number of sets to be used.

If the combinations of shelves exceed the supported usable storage, there may not be an entry. The entries are based on the smallest usable storage per shelf type (12TB for ES20, 12 TB for ES30 SATA, and 24TB for ES30 SAS). Always check that the sum of the usable storage of all of the shelves does not exceed the supported usable storage of the configuration.

DD7200 and DS60 shelf guidelines

The Data Domain system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your Data Domain system as listed in the following table. For redundancy, the two connections from a Data Domain system to a set of shelves must use ports on different SAS I/O

modules. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your Data Domain system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain. If ES30 SAS shelves are on the same chain as a DS60, the maximum number of shelves on that chain is 5. DD OS 5.7.1 does not support HA with SATA drives.

3-phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks used for several Data Domain systems. In those situations it is desirable to balance the current draw across all 3 phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal

172 DD7200

configuration is dependent on the specific installation. The following figures show recommended 3-phase power connections for several Data Domain systems.

NOTE: The next few diagrams show recommended 3-phase delta power connections.

DS60 and DD7200 cabling

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of DS60 and other shelf types to your system.

176 DD7200

CAUTION: If a system does not follow all these rules, it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

You cannot exceed the maximum amount of usable capacity displayed in cabling table for each system. You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in cabling table for each system. You cannot connect more than two DS60 shelves in a single set.

Table 105. Minimum and maximum configurations

System Appliance maximum Minimum appliance shelf count

DD7200 384 TB 1

Mixing DS60, ES30, and ES20 shelves:

The non-Extended Retention versions of these systems all support four chains.

Extra planning and reconfiguration may be required to add DS60 shelves to system with ES20 shelves, ES30 SATA shelves, or a combination of shelves.

The ES20 shelves must be on their own set. Minimize the ES20 set count by combining up to four ES20s per set. ES30 SATA shelves must also be on their own sets. Minimize the ES30 set count by combining up to five ES30s per set. If

required, combine up to seven ES30 SAS shelves per set to minimize the set count. A set can contain a maximum of two DS60 shelves and, if required because of other restrictions, add ES30 SAS shelves up

to a maximum of five shelves in that set.

NOTE: The configuration rules apply also to Extended Retention systems.

The following figures show cabling for base systems and systems with the Extended Retention software.

NOTE: It is recommended that the DS60 shelf with the greater number of drives should always be placed in the bottom

position.

Front LED indicators

The front of the system contain 12 disk drive status LEDs that are normally blue, and blink when there is activity on the disk. The LEDs are shaped like triangles, and the apex of the triangle points left or right, indicating that disk's status. If the disk drive has a failure, the disks status LED turns from blue to amber, indicating that a drive must be replaced.

The front also contains two system status LEDs. A blue system power LED is present that is on whenever the system has power. An amber system fault LED is also present that is normally off and lit amber whenever the chassis or any other FRU in the system requires service.

DD9300 189

4. Slot 3 5. Slot 4 6. Slot 5 7. Slot 6 8. Slot 7

I/O modules are only supported in fixed configurations. The fixed configurations define the exact slots into which the I/O modules may be inserted. The processors directly drive the eight I/O module slots, meaning all slots are full performance.

The non-optional SAS, NVRAM, and 10GBaseT I/O modules are allocated to fixed slots. The optional Host Interface I/O modules are used for front end networking and Fibre Channel connections. The quantity and type of these I/O modules is customizable, and there are many valid configurations.

Internal system components The following figure shows the layout of the CPUs and DIMMs inside the chassis. The front of the system is at the top of the figure.

Figure 114. CPU and memory locations

DIMMs overview

Dual in-line memory modules (DIMM) come in various sizes, which must be configured in a certain way. This topic can help you select the correct configuration when servicing DIMMs.

The storage processor contains two Intel processors each with an integrated memory controller that supports four channels of memory. The storage processor allows two DIMM slots per channel, so the storage processor supports a total of 16 DIMM slots.

DD9300 and ES30 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table below. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. DD6800 systems support ES30 SATA shelves after controller upgrades from older models. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

1. This figure only counts drives that have user data in the shelves.

2. The raw capacity of an ES30 is 125% of the available capacity.

3. Recommended configurations start at four shelves per set and expand beyond that as required. For HA configurations, the counts as a shelf.

DD9300 193

4. DDOS 6.x and greater and SSD shelf configuration

Types of cabinets and power connections

The ES30 chassis is installed in two types of racks: 40U-C (existing racks) and the 40U-P (newer racks). The racks use one phase or 3-phase power connections.

3-Phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks that are used for several systems. In those situations, it is desirable to balance the current draw across all three phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal configuration depends on the specific installation.

Cabling shelves

NOTE:

Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit installation instructions included

with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.

The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then use another port as defined

later for that specific system.

On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets. The ports on the second node

must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports on the first node.

Ports on the systems SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controllers host port. For redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.

There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.

DD6300, DD6800, and DD9300 shelf configurations

There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of DS60 and other shelf types to your system.

CAUTION: If a system does not follow ALL of these rules it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the cabling table for each system. You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in the cabling table for each system. There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for SSD shelves, or the metadata shelves for Cloud Tier

configurations. These shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30 shelves.

DD9300 and DS60 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table. For redundancy, the two connections from a system to a set of shelves must use ports on different SAS I/O modules. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain. If ES30 SAS shelves are on the same chain as a DS60, the maximum number of shelves on that chain is 5.

High Availability

DD9400 supports Active-Passive High Availability (A-P HA or just A-P). The following table summarizes the hardware changes to support A-P HA:

Table 129. HA configuration requirements

Hardware Change to support HA

Active-Passive HA

Additional memory No extra memory required.

HA private interconnect Cluster Interconnect : A-P requires the use of two ports from the on-board quad-port 10 GbE Network Daughter Card.

NVRAM A-P requires a single 16 GB NVRAM card (same as non-HA).

SAS Connectivity Both nodes of an A-P HA pair require redundant SAS connectivity to the storage array. (Note: a single node system also has redundant connectivity to the storage array.)

SSD Requirements SSDs are contained within FS25 and are available from both nodes.

HA Network Interconnect

The HA Network Interconnect, required for HA configurations, is a dedicated 10 GbE connection between the two nodes of an HA pair. The interconnect is used to write data (and metadata) from the active node's NVRAM to the passive node's NVRAM.

Two 10GbE links are used to meet the bandwidth requirements for the private interconnect. Traffic across the private interconnect has roughly the same bandwidth as is written to the NVRAM card. The dual 10-GbE links can move about 2 GB/s in each direction.

200 DD9400

HA SAS Interconnect

HA configurations require that the SSDs' cache drives be shared between both nodes and have redundant SAS connections to all shelves.

DD6900, DD9400, and DD9900 storage shelves configurations and capacities

DD6900, DD9400, and DD9900 do not store data on internal disk drives and rely on external disk array shelves to provide storage. DS60 disk shelves and ES40 shelves are connected to systems using 12 Gb Mini-SAS HD ports, which are implemented on the SAS HBAs.

The systems also support external metadata storage (cache) shelf FS25. External cache shelf only hosts DD OS depended metadata for performance acceleration.

The ES40 SAS shelf contains 15 drives, which includes 12 drives of usable storage, two parity drives, and one hot spare.

The DS60 shelf contains 60 drives. Drives are configured in four groups of 15 drives. Each group contains two parity drives and one hot spare, so each group provides 12 drives of usable storage. A fully configured DS60 shelf provides 48 drives of usable storage.

DD9500 storage capacity The table lists the capacities of the systems. The internal indexes and other product components use variable amounts of storage, depending on the type of data and the sizes of files. If you send different datasets to otherwise identical systems, one system may, over time, have room for more or less actual backup data than another.

NOTE: The system commands compute and display amounts of disk space or data as decimal multiples of certain powers

of two (210, 220, 230, and so forth). For example, 7 GiB of disk space = 7 x 230 bytes = 7 x 1,073,741,824 bytes. The system

sees this process as Base 2 calculation.

Fibre Channel I/O modules

A Fibre Channel (FC) I/O module is a dual-port Fibre Channel module. Up to four FC I/O modules may be installed. The optional virtual tape library (VTL) feature requires at least one FC I/O module. Boost over Fibre Channel is an optional feature and requires at least one FC I/O module. A maximum of four FC I/O modules may be installed in a system using either VTL or the Boost protocol or a combination of both protocols.

SAS I/O modules

DD9500 systems have three quad-port SAS I/O modules installed in slots 2, 3 and 6. Systems configured with DD Extended Retention (ER) or DD Cloud Tier software options require an additional SAS I/O module in slot 9.

I/O module slot assignments The following figure shows the location of the NVRAM and I/O modules.

Slot addition rules

This system has 12 slots for I/O modules. Slots 0, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 11 are reserved for mandatory I/O modules. Slots 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 support optional host interface I/O modules. The maximum supported number of any type of host interface (Ethernet or FC) I/O module is four.

NOTE: The maximum number of host interface I/O modules that are listed above does not include the 10 GbE Optical

I/O module for the HA interconnect. The HA interconnect is a fifth Ethernet module, but it is reserved for communication

between the two nodes of an HA pair, and is not available for host connections.

The maximum number of I/O modules, including both mandatory and optional I/O modules, supported in a system varies by configuration: Single node: 10 HA: 10 DD Extended Retention: 10 DD Cloud Tier: 10 HA + DD Cloud Tier: 11

Three I/O module slots are tied to each CPU in the system. When installing I/O modules, balance the load across the CPUs. The following table shows the CPU to slot mappings.

Internal System Components The storage processor (SP) is a subassembly within the chassis that contains the memory risers with the DIMMs and a fan tray with fan modules. The SP module also contains the 4 CPUs, which cannot be removed or replaced.

The memory risers tray, which contains 8 memory risers with DIMMs, can be accessed from the front of the SP module. The memory risers are not hot swappable

The fan tray, which contains 8 fan modules, can be accessed from the front of the SP module. The fans are hot swappable.

The DIMMS can be accessed by pulling the entire SP module away from the chassis. Depending on the model, there are DIMMs totaling:

256 GB or 512 GB for a DD9500 system. 256 GB or 768 GB for a DD9800 system.

The figures show the location of the SP module, the DIMM risers accessed from a partly removed SP module, and the fan tray partly removed.

Do not lift the DD9500/DD9800 system, or the storage processor (SP) module, or any modules by the handle. The handle is not designed to support the weight of the populated shelf. Also do not carry the DD9500/DD9800 system or the SP by the handle. The handles are only intended to be used to insert or remove the SP module.

Cooling fans

A system contains eight hot-swappable cooling fans in a 7+1 redundant configuration, which is located in the front of the system within a movable fan tray. The fans provide cooling for the processors, DIMMs, and I/O modules. Each fan has an LED which glows amber when the fan is failed or faulted. A system can run with one fan faulted.

DD9500 and ES30 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table below. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity.

DD9500 227

DD9500 systems support ES30 SATA shelves after controller upgrades from older models. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

6. There is no support for ERSO on HA systems.

7. There is no support for HA with SATA drives.

Types of cabinets and power connections

The ES30 chassis is installed in two types of racks: 40U-C (existing racks) and the 40U-P (newer racks). The racks use one phase or 3-phase power connections.

3-Phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks that are used for several systems. In those situations, it is desirable to balance the current draw across all three phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal configuration depends on the specific installation.

228 DD9500

Cabling shelves

NOTE:

Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit installation instructions included

with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.

The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then use another port as defined

later for that specific system.

On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets. The ports on the second node

must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports on the first node.

Ports on the systems SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controllers host port. For redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.

There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.

DD9500 and cabling

NOTE: If a system installation does not follow ALL of these rules, it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

Follow the minimum and maximum shelf capacity configuration provided in the table. You cannot have ES30 SATA and ES30 SAS shelves in the same set. You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the product's cabling table. You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in the product's cabling table. You cannot have more than five ES30s in a single set (maximum of four is preferred). You can have seven ES30s for systems with Extended Retention software. There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for SSD shelves, or the metadata shelves for Cloud Tier

configurations. These shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30 shelves.

DD9500 and DS60 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table. For redundancy, the two connections from a system to a set of shelves must use ports on different SAS I/O modules. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain. If ES30 SAS shelves are on the same chain as a DS60, the maximum number of shelves on that chain is 5.

3-phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks used for several systems. In those situations it is desirable to balance the current draw across all 3 phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal configuration is dependent on the specific installation.

DD9800 storage capacity The table lists the capacities of the systems. The nternal indexes and other product components use variable amounts of storage, depending on the type of data and the sizes of files. If you send different datasets to otherwise identical systems, one system may, over time, have room for more or less actual backup data than another.

NOTE: System commands compute and display amounts of disk space or data as decimal multiples of certain powers of two

(210, 220, 230, and so forth). For example, 7 GB of disk space = 7 x 230 bytes = 7 x 1,073,741,824 bytes. The system sees this

process as Base 2 calculation.

Power supply units

A DD9800 system has four power supply units, numbered PSU0, PSU1, PSU2, and PSU3 from left to right. Each power supply has its own integral cooling fan.

NOTE: The DD9800 system should be powered from redundant AC sources. This allows one AC source to fail or be

serviced without impacting system operation. PSU0 and PSU1 should be attached to one AC source. PSU2 and PSU3 should

be attached to the other AC source.

240 DD9800

The AC power plugs are located to the right of each power supply. The wire clips for the AC cords hold the cords in place. The wire clips must be disengaged before disconnecting the AC power to each power supply.

Fibre Channel I/O modules

A Fibre Channel (FC) I/O module is a dual-port Fibre Channel module. Up to four FC I/O modules may be installed. The optional virtual tape library (VTL) feature requires at least one FC I/O module. Boost over Fibre Channel is an optional feature and requires at least one FC I/O module. A maximum of four FC I/O modules may be installed in a system using either VTL or the Boost protocol or a combination of both protocols.

SAS I/O modules

DD9800 systems have three quad-port SAS I/O modules installed in slots 2, 3 and 6. Systems configured with DD Extended Retention (ER) or DD Cloud Tier software options require an additional SAS I/O module in slot 9.

I/O module slot assignments The following figure shows the location of the NVRAM and I/O modules.

Slot addition rules

This system has 12 slots for I/O modules. Slots 0, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 11 are reserved for mandatory I/O modules. Slots 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 support optional host interface I/O modules. The maximum supported number of any type of host interface (Ethernet or FC) I/O module is four.

NOTE: The maximum number of host interface I/O modules that are listed above does not include the 10 GbE Optical

I/O module for the HA interconnect. The HA interconnect is a fifth Ethernet module, but it is reserved for communication

between the two nodes of an HA pair, and is not available for host connections.

The maximum number of I/O modules, including both mandatory and optional I/O modules, supported in a system varies by configuration: Single node: 10 HA: 10 DD Extended Retention: 10 DD Cloud Tier: 10 HA + DD Cloud Tier: 11

Three I/O module slots are tied to each CPU in the system. When installing I/O modules, balance the load across the CPUs. The following table shows the CPU to slot mappings.

Internal system components The storage processor (SP) is a subassembly within the chassis that contains the memory risers with the DIMMs and a fan tray with fan modules. The SP module also contains the 4 CPUs, which cannot be removed or replaced.

The memory risers tray, which contains 8 memory risers with DIMMs, can be accessed from the front of the SP module. The memory risers are not hot swappable

The fan tray, which contains 8 fan modules, can be accessed from the front of the SP module. The fans are hot swappable.

The DIMMS can be accessed by pulling the entire SP module away from the chassis. Depending on the model, there are DIMMs totaling 256 GB or 768 GB.

The figures show the location of the SP module, the DIMM risers accessed from a partly removed SP module, and the fan tray partly removed.

Do not lift the DD9800 system, or the storage processor (SP) module, or any modules by the handle. The handle is not designed to support the weight of the populated shelf. Also do not carry the DD9800 system or the SP by the handle. The handles are only intended to be used to insert or remove the SP module.

Cooling fans

A system contains eight hot-swappable cooling fans in a 7+1 redundant configuration, which is located in the front of the system within a movable fan tray. The fans provide cooling for the processors, DIMMs, and I/O modules. Each fan has an LED which glows amber when the fan is failed or faulted. A system can run with one fan faulted.

DD9800 and ES30 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table below. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity.

248 DD9800

ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

Types of cabinets and power connections

The ES30 chassis is installed in two types of racks: 40U-C (existing racks) and the 40U-P (newer racks). The racks use one phase or 3-phase power connections.

3-Phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)

Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks that are used for several systems. In those situations, it is desirable to balance the current draw across all three phases. The recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal configuration depends on the specific installation.

Cabling shelves

NOTE:

Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit installation instructions included

with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.

DD9800 249

The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then use another port as defined

later for that specific system.

On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets. The ports on the second node

must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports on the first node.

Ports on the systems SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controllers host port. For redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.

There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.

DD9500 and cabling

NOTE: If a system installation does not follow ALL of these rules, it is not a legitimate configuration.

Prerequisites:

Follow the minimum and maximum shelf capacity configuration provided in the table. You cannot have ES30 SATA and ES30 SAS shelves in the same set. You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the product's cabling table. You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in the product's cabling table. You cannot have more than five ES30s in a single set (maximum of four is preferred). You can have seven ES30s for systems with Extended Retention software. There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for SSD shelves, or the metadata shelves for Cloud Tier

configurations. These shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30 shelves.

DD9800 and DS60 shelf guidelines

The system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:

Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your system as listed in the following table. For redundancy, the two connections from a system to a set of shelves must use ports on different SAS I/O modules. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your system to minimize the chance of a cabling mistake. A system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of added shelf capacity. ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain. If ES30 SAS shelves are on the same chain as a DS60, the maximum number of shelves on that chain is 5.

High Availability

DD9900 supports Active-Passive High Availability (A-P HA or just A-P). The following table summarizes the hardware changes to support A-P HA:

Table 181. HA configuration requirements

Hardware Change to support HA

Active-Passive HA

Additional memory No extra memory required.

HA private interconnect Cluster Interconnect : A-P requires the use of two ports from the on-board quad-port 10 GbE Network Daughter Card.

NVRAM A-P requires a single 16 GB NVRAM card (same as non-HA).

SAS Connectivity Both nodes of an A-P HA pair require redundant SAS connectivity to the storage array. (Note: a single node system also has redundant connectivity to the storage arrays.)

SSD Requirements SSDs are contained within FS25 and must be accessible from both nodes.

HA Network Interconnect

The HA Network Interconnect, required for HA configurations, is a dedicated 10 GbE connection between the two nodes of an HA pair. The interconnect is used to write data (and metadata) from the active node's NVRAM to the passive node's NVRAM.

Two 10GbE links are used to meet the bandwidth requirements for the private interconnect. Traffic across the private interconnect has roughly the same bandwidth as is written to the NVRAM card. The dual 10-GbE links can move about 2 GB/s in each direction.

DD9900 255

HA SAS Interconnect

HA configurations require that the SSDs' cache drives be shared between both nodes and have redundant SAS connections to all shelves.

The physical interface name format for the other I/O module slots is ethXy, where X is the slot number and y is an alphanumeric character. For example, eth0a.

For most horizontal I/O module NIC interfaces, the port numbering goes from left to right, with ethXa on the left. The horizontal I/O module slots on the left-in slots 11-13 are inverted. The port numbering on these I/O modules in these slots goes from right to left, with ethXa on the right.

For vertical I/O module NIC interfaces, the port numbering goes from top to bottom, with ethXa at the top.

DD9900 261

The management port ethMa is the first port set up by the Configuration Wizard. It is marked with a red rectangle in the figure below.

Figure 163. Slot numbering

The general population rules can be summarized as:

1. Populate a given I/O in the available slots listed. 2. Select the first available slot in the group. 3. Follow the steps for each I/O in the order specified. 4. Slots 1, 5 and 6 are x8 PCIE slots. All other PCIE slots are x16.

DD6900, DD9400, and DD9900 storage shelves configurations and capacities

DD6900, DD9400, and DD9900 do not store data on internal disk drives and rely on external disk array shelves to provide storage. DS60 disk shelves and ES40 shelves are connected to systems using 12 Gb Mini-SAS HD ports, which are implemented on the SAS HBAs.

The systems also support external metadata storage (cache) shelf FS25. External cache shelf only hosts DD OS depended metadata for performance acceleration.

The ES40 SAS shelf contains 15 drives, which includes 12 drives of usable storage, two parity drives, and one hot spare.

The DS60 shelf contains 60 drives. Drives are configured in four groups of 15 drives. Each group contains two parity drives and one hot spare, so each group provides 12 drives of usable storage. A fully configured DS60 shelf provides 48 drives of usable storage.

Expansion shelf cables Expansion shelves are connected to each other and to the controller with qualified cables. The expansion shelf can be connected to supported systems only by using SAS (serial-attached SCSI) cables. A shelf with qualified disks can be added as an expansion shelf if there are complete drive packs (15 in a pack) in the correct position.

NOTE: Shelves for other Dell EMC product lines look identical. Check the product numbers when unpacking.

DS60 cables

The DS60 shelves use cables with HD-mini-SAS connectors at both ends to connect the shelves to the controllers that have SAS I/O modules.

The DS60 connector is referred as the HD-mini-SAS connector and is same as the I/O module connectors. These cables are available in 3M, 4M, and 5M lengths.

Use the appropriate length for the connection you are making:

Use the 3-meter cable in the same rack either to connect to a controller or shelf to adjacent shelf. Use a 3-meter, 4-meter, or 5-meter cable when a DS60 is in another rack.

Power requiremements

The input current, power (VA), and dissipation per enclosure listed in this document are based on measurements of fully configured enclosures under worst-case operating conditions. Use the operating maximum values to plan the configuration of your storage system. These values represent either:

the values for a single power supply line cord, or

16

278 ES40

the sum of the values shared by the line cords of the combined power supplies in the same enclosure, with the division between the line cords and supplies at the current sharing ratio (approximately 50% each).

A failure of one of the combined power supplies per enclosure results in the remaining power supply supporting the full load. You must use a rackmount cabinet or rack with appropriate power distribution, and have main branch AC distribution that can handle these values for each enclosure in the cabinet.

Front Bezel Clearance 1.56 inches (4.0 cm) of unobstructed clearance.

Back Panel Clearance 5 inches (12.7 cm) of unobstructed clearance.

Airflow In a closed or multi-unit rack, ensure that the unit has adequate airflow. If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed (as opposed to a four-post open rack), the front and rear doors should have 65% minimum open area for airflow. Whether in an open or enclosed rack, use filler panels to prevent hot air recirculation. The rack design and installation should take into consideration the maximum ambient operating temperature of the equipment, which is 35 C.

Power/ Grounding Two single-phase AC power outlets with an earth ground conductor (safety ground). A safe electrical earth connection must be provided to each power cord. Voltage should be 100-120 VAC or 200-240 VAC; 50 or 60 Hz. Use only with branch circuits protected by a minimum 15A overcurrent protector. Plug the two power cords into separate branch circuit supplies for redundancy.
