LSI CTS2600 Controller-Drive Tray Initial Setup Guide 3

Key Terms

controller-drive tray

One tray with drives, one or two controllers, fans, and power supplies. The controller-

drive tray provides the interface between a host and a storage array.

drive tray

One tray with drives, one or two environmental services monitors (ESMs), power

supplies, and fans. A drive tray does not contain controllers.

Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver

A component that enables Fibre Channel duplex communication between storage

array devices. SFP transceivers can be inserted into host bus adapters (HBAs),

controllers, and environmental services monitors (ESMs). SFP transceivers can support

either copper cables (the SFP transceiver is integrated with the cable) or fiber-optic

cables (the SFP transceiver is a separate component from the fiber-optic cable).

storage array

A collection of both physical components and logical components for storing data.

Physical components include drives, controllers, fans, and power supplies. Logical

components include volume groups and volumes. These components are managed by

the storage management software.

Gathering Items

Before you start installing the controller-drive tray, you must have installed the cabinet

in which the controller-drive tray will be mounted.

Use the tables in this section to verify that you have all of the necessary items to install

the controller-drive tray.

Item Included with the

Controller-Drive

Tray

AC power cords

The controller-drive tray ships with power cords for

connecting to an external power source, such as a wall

plug. Your cabinet might have special power cords that

you use instead of the power cords that ship with the

controller-drive tray.

Fibre Channel cables (optional)

Use these cables for connections to the hosts.

Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers (optional)

•The SFP transceivers connect fiber-optic cables to host

ports and drive ports.

•Depending on your connection requirements, you

might need to purchase additional SFP transceivers

(two SFP transceivers for each fiber-optic cable).

•You must purchase only Restriction of Hazardous

Substances (RoHS)-compliant SFP transceivers.

Ethernet cable (optional)

This cable is used for out-of-band storage array

management and for 1-Gb/s iSCSI connections.

For information about out-of-band storage array

management, see the description for “Deciding on the

Management Method” on page 17.

SAS cables (optional)

The SAS cables connect the host to the controller-drive

tray. If you install a drive tray, you will need to use SAS

cables to connect the controller-drive tray to the

drive tray.
