Introduction to File Engines

Interface module

• Each node has six I/O module slots.

• Each node has a GE card for heartbeat

signaling.

• Each node has an 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel card

for disk array connection.

• Each node has a maximum of four GE or

10GE cards for interfacing with NAS hosts.

• Being based on the Pangea V001R001

hardware platform (namely the controller

enclosure of an S5500T/S5600T/S6800T),

the file engine of a T series unified storage

system is also 4 U high.

• Each controller in this independent engine

serves as a file engine node, and each

engine serves as a two-node file engine.

Controller-file engine

• Each controller serves

as a node.

Internal Heartbeat Network

of a File Engine

Heartbeat network of a multi-node file engine

(It requires additional switches, and each node uses two GE ports as heartbeat network ports.)

Heartbeat network of a two-node file engine

Note: the GE I/O Module comes with File engine can only be used for heartbeat. The host connectivity requires extra I/O Module

1. Choose an appropriate RAID level.

▬ Chooses a suitable RAID level from the supported RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50 based on the actual

application scenario.

▬ As recommended, uses RAID 5 or 1 SAS or Fibre Channel disks

▬ You need to use RAID 6 for a RAID group that consists of NL-SAS disks or SATA disks. (The ISM

uses RAID 6 by default) .

2. Configure a moderate number of disks for each RAID group.

▬ The optimal number of disks configured for one RAID 5 or RAID 6 group is 8 to 11.

▬ Configures a maximum of 16 disks for each RAID 10 group.

▬ Weighs the disk utilization ratio, disk failure rate, reconstruction duration, and disk performance when

you choose a RAID level.

3. Deploy hot spare disks.

▬ Deploys hot spare disks whenever possible.

▬ Avoids using coffer disks as hot spare disks.

▬ As recommended, configures at least one hot spare disk for each enclosure and at least two for the

sole controller enclosure.

4. Intermix different types of disks in practice.

▬ Avoids intermixing high-speed disks with low-speed ones within the same enclosure.

▬ Configures dedicated hot spare disks for different types of disks.

5. Calculates the available capacity of disks according to the RAID level (redacted).

6. Configures an ideal of no more than 72 and a maximum of less than 120 disks for each pair of back-end

ports.
