Description Technical Specs Extended Information
 
The Sun StorEdge D2 array provides an exceptional balance of performance and value.
From departmental file sharing to transaction intensive data base environments, the flexible Sun StorEdge D2 array provides an exceptional balance of performance and value. By combining costefficient server-based software RAID functionality with high-availability features, customers can realize a lower total cost of ownership. Array functionality is further safeguarded via Sun’s Storage Automated Diagnostics Environment that provides proactive fault detection and reporting via an easy to use webbased tool. The Sun StorEdge D2 array’s Ultra 3 SCSI architecture provides configuration scalability and flexibility by supporting up to four legacy UltraSCSI/Ultra 2 SCSI low-voltage differential platforms on a single array.

The Sun StorEdge D2 array supports a wide range of configurations to accommodate the customer’s cost, availability, and performance requirements, as follows:
  • Single or dual ESM modules. With a single ESM module installed, the midplane is configured as a single bus with up to 12 drives. With dual ESMs installed, the mid-plane is configured as a "split bus" with up to 6 drives each.
  • ESM modules are "hot-pluggable" (hot-swappable).
  • Dual host connections from each ESM.
  • Host-based software RAID.
  • Ultra 3 SCSI (160 MB/sec.) LVD disk and host interface; both interfaces run at Ultra 3 (160 MB/sec.), Ultra 2 (80 MB/sec.), or single-ended (40 MB/sec.), depending on the capabilities of the host bus adapter (HBA) or embedded SCSI controller on the server.
  • High-availability, mirrored storage with dual host connections and split-bus drive backplane.
  • SAF-TE interface to the host monitors and controls power supplies, fans, temperatures, drives, and fault LEDs.
