HP XP 12000 and RAID 7+1

[Paul Hydrean]

In previous versions of the XP, (2) ACP Pairs were required to perform RAID 7+1, is that still a requirement with the XP 12000. The XP 12000's ACPs have double the back-end loops, 8 loops to 4 loops like on the XP 1024, and they are 2Gbps versus 1Gpbs loops. Does anyone know this specifically to the number of pairs needed?

[Peter Mattei]

A single ACP can provide all available XP12000 RAID types. These are

RAID01 2D+2D and 4D+4D
RAID5 3D+1P and 7D+1P
RAID6 6D+2P

Also see 2 slides out of my XP12000 presentation.

Hi Peter,

Would it be possible to provide the entire presentation?

Thanks in advance!

[Peter Mattei]

The problem is the size of my presentation. In PowerPoint it is 14MB. The max size in this forum is 1MB.

Sorry
Peter

If there is a way to provide the full presentation, either on a website or emailed, let me know @ "email address deleted PM"
