The Sun Storage 2500-M2 arrays are a family of storage products that provide high-capacity, high-reliability storage in a compact configuration. The controller tray, with two controller modules, provides the interface between a data host and the disk drives. Two array models and one expansion tray are offered:
The Sun Storage 2540-M2 array provides a Fibre Channel (FC) connection between the data host and the controller tray at 8 Gbit/sec.
The Sun Storage 2530-M2 array provides a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connection between the data host and the controller tray at 6 Gbit/sec.
The Sun Storage 2501-M2 array expansion tray provides additional storage via SAS interface at 6 Gbit/sec. It is connected to either of the above controller tray models.
The Sun Storage 2500-M2 arrays are modular and rack-mountable in industry-standard cabinets. The arrays are scalable from a single controller tray configuration to a maximum configuration of one controller tray and seven expansion trays. The maximum configuration creates a storage array with a total of 96 drives connected to 2530-M2 or 2540-M2 controllers or a total of 192 drives connected to 4GB 2540-M2 controllers (available as an upgrade or with new 2540-M2 controllers).
Use the latest version of Sun Storage Common Array Manager to manage the arrays. See About the Management Software for more information.
