contained in a separate enclosure and provides the following features:
• High-performance PowerPC microprocessor
• An Operator C
ontrol Panel (O CP) for easy operation
• 4U rack space required for both controller enclosures
• Four 4–Gbps Fibre Channel-Switched Fabric host ports
• Four 2–Gbps
FC-AL device ports
• Arranged in redundant pairs
• Data load/performance balanced across a pair
• Supports up
to 240 disks (120 disks per pair)
• 2 GB cache per controller, mirrored, with b attery backup
• 2 Gbps FC cache mirroring port with device port backups
• Two mirror
ports
• Dual power supplies
The controller is the interface between HP StorageWorks Command View EVA and the Enterprise
