EXP3000 Drive-side Cabling
> All DS3000 products use SAS/SATA disk
drives and SAS cabling regardless of the
type of host attachment
 Support SAS cable 1m or 3m with
mini-SAS 4x multilane connectors
> The drive-side cabling is common to all
DS3000 products
> When attaching enclosures, drive loops are
configured as redundant pairs utilizing one
port from each controller.
> This helps ensure data access in the event
of a path/loop or controller failure.
> Often referred to as the
“Top-Down/Bottom-Up” method

Anytime Administration - Anytime Data
Helps ensure data is always available
EXP HotAdd Technology
> Online capacity expansion, configuration and LUN access
Dynamic Array Expansion (DAE)
> Add drives to existing array (restripes logical drives, defrags array)
Dynamic Volume Expansion (DVE)
> Add available capacity to existing logical drives (OS dependent)

Configuration Flexibility
Tune any attribute to meet any application need
Single storage system supports:
>Multiple RAID levels
0, 1, 1+0, 3, 5, 6
>Multiple drive types, capacities
and rotational speeds
>Multiple and various RAID array sizes
 RAID 1 and 10 – 1+1 up to 56+56
 RAID 3, 5 and 6 – 2+1 up to 29+1
>One or more logical drives per RAID array
>Settings defined on a logical drive basis
 Concurrently maximize performance, capacity and availability
>Dynamic configuration / re-configuration

DACstore Technology
Configuration data is stored on every configured drive.
>Each drive knows its state and status as
well as its logical drives’ state and status
>One drive in each RAID array stores the
controller- and subsystem-level information
 Minimum of three per disk system
DACstore benefits:
>Creates “data intact” drive portability as drives
are not bound to a given enclosure or slot
 Individual physical drives can be relocated within a system
to improve channel utilization (performance / availability)
 Individual RAID arrays can be migrated to another system
 Full systems can be upgraded by simply replacing the controllers
Higher availability

> Logical partitioning provides flexibility
> Volume-to-LUN mapping defines what host or
host group will have access to the volume
> Four partitions offered standard with 8, 16, 32
or 64 (DS3500 only) partitions premium feature
partition licenses
 Accommodates growth and supports a
greater number of hosts sharing a single
