Product Technology 8Gb Fibre Channel
technology
Two host ports per controller, shipped with SFPs. the P2000 G3 FC
controller can run in either point-to-point or FCAL (loop). The default is
FCAL which is used in Direct Connect, particularly with two controllers.
The PtP (fabric) mode is used with almost all switches.
Combo controller with
FC and iSCSI ports
Product Features
This ingenious dual-protocol "combo" controller supports a full FC SAN
through the 8Gb FC ports, while designating the two 1GbE iSCSI ports to
enable remote replication over iSCSI protocol or perform as an iSCSI
target. This allows economical sharing of the storage resource (the P2000
G3 array) with one department needing the performance afforded by the
8Gb FC ports while simultaneously supporting another department with
lesser performance needs and a budget only allowing an iSCSI network.
Modular Chassis 2U rack height. 12 Large Form Factor or 24 Small Form Factor drive
bays, accommodating SAS and SATA. Comes with space for one or two
controllers, or P2000 3.5-inch disk Enclosure I/O modules (LFF chassis
only)
Drives available The new P2000 G3 FC controller supports both the P2000 3.5-inch Large
Form Factor (LFF) drives, and the HP ProLiant 2.5-inch Small Form
