1 Introduction
The functionality, mechanics and design of the PRIMERGY S60 storage
subsystem are optimally adapted to the PRIMERGY Nxxx server compute-
nodes. It can be used as rack or as floorstand model. In the 19-inch rack, the
S60 subsystem occupies three height units.
The PRIMERGY S60 storage subsystem use the fiber-channel technology and
can accommodate up to fourteen 1-inch hard disk drives.
The use of fiber-channel technology ensures high transmission speeds over
long distances, using a very uncomplicated infrastructure.
Components such as fans, power supply units, hard disk drives and FFx-RAID
controller modules (dual controller configuration only) can be replaced with the
system running. Redundancy is provided for central components, offering a
high degree of data security and reliability.
Server Management/ServerView
For the first step the server management for the PRIMERGY S60 storage
subsystem will be ensured by SES (SCSI Enclosure Service).
A optional Remote Service Board (RSB) with more functions can be installed.
In this case remote diagnosis is available to the customer or service provider for
analysis, remote system configuration and a remote restart - even if the
operating system or the hardware fails.
The RSB-module is board which includes a completely independent system. It
has a separate operating system with web server and SNMP agents, and can
be driven by an external power supply.
The board is installed in the storage subsystem and connected to the HDD
backplane.
Further informations is provided in the documentation for the Remote Service
Board (see “Related publications” on page 81).
ServerView and the related agents are set up within the group of servers and
storage subsystems being monitored. The received information are evaluated
by ServerView and processed for display or forwarding to the administrator
(manager).
