Figure 93.DAS Fibre Channel – Table of Examples of Use.
In every case, there must be at most 6 DAS (SP) and 4 Nodes (adapter) on a same FC–AL
loop.
Notes:
1. 1 < N + D < 10
2. deport of DAS (mirror) for disaster recovery.
3. A hub is necessary for a dual-SP DAS 57xx (linked SPs)
4. Use of the DAE JBOD
ATF is supported for configurations with Dual-SP DAS and dual attachment (dual loop) per
node.
DAS Full Fibre Channel Models
The DAS 57xx model family comprises:
1. DAS 5700 model with a RAID subsystem, including:
• Either a single-SP DPE or a dual-SP DPE disk drawer
• One or more chained DAE disk drawers (1 up to 5 in an EPC1200 or EPC1200A or
EPC2400 I/O rack and up to 6 in an EPC400/430 rack or in a rack containing EPC440
drawer)
• One power supply per SP and as many additional power supplies as chained DAE
drawers
