00AH802 IBM V7000 Storage Node Canister for Storwize and Flex Systems

00AH802 IBM V7000 Storage Node Canister for Storwize and Flex Systems
The 00AH802 node canister contains a IBM V7000 Storwiaze or Flex storage system, of which each IBM V7000 processing unit is a 00AH802 node canister, also known as a node. The two nodes within their 00AH802 canisters make an I/O group that is attached to the SAN fabric. 00AH802 Node Canisters and Expansion Canisters are Hot-Swap Parts. All IBM systems, features and parts sold include warranty and are eligible for IBM maintenance and support contracts.

Controller Configuration: Dual controller (known as node canister) configuration per controller unit. Two or four controller units can be combined into a IBM V7000 clustered system (or cluster).

Controller Cache: 64 GB per controller unit (32 GB per node canister) upgradeable to 128 GB (64 GB per node canister) or 256 GB (128 GB per node canister; supported by Model HC1 only). Up to 1 TB per cluster. Battery-backed cache protection.

Drive Connectivity:
Dual-ported 12 Gb SAS drive attachment infrastructure.

Controller unit with two node canisters (ports per one node canister):
24x 12 Gb SAS internal drive ports
2x 12 Gb SAS x4 (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644) expansion ports for the attachment of the expansion units

Expansion unit with two expansion canisters (ports per one expansion canister):
24x 12 Gb SAS internal drive ports (SFF unit)
12x 12 Gb SAS internal drive ports (LFF unit)
2x 12 Gb SAS x4 (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644) expansion ports (IN and OUT) for the daisy chained attachment of the expansion units

Host Connectivity: Standard ports (per controller unit with two node canisters): 6x 1 Gb iSCSI (UTP, RJ-45) (3 ports per node canister).

Extra ports must be configured by selecting at least one of the following host port options, or a combination of one iSCSI or FCoE option and one of the FC options, or two FC options, or two iSCSI or FCoE options (Model HC1 only) (per controller unit with two node canisters):

8x 10 Gb iSCSI or FCoE SFP+ host ports (SW fiber optics, LC) (4 ports per node canister)
8x 8 Gb FC SFP host ports (SW or LW fiber optics, LC) (4 ports per node canister)
4x 16 Gb FC SFP host ports (SW or LW fiber optics, LC) (2 ports per node canister)
8x 16 Gb FC SFP host ports (SW or LW* fiber optics, LC) (4 ports per node canister)
4x 25 Gb iSCSI (RoCE) SFP28 host ports (SW fiber, LC) (2 ports per node canister)
4x 25 Gb iSCSI (iWARP) SFP28 host ports (SW fiber, LC) (2 ports per node canister)
