The Sun ZFS Storage 7000 family of products provide efficient file and block data services to clients over a network, and a rich set of data services that can be applied to the data stored on the system.
7120
7320
7420/7720
7700
Legacy platforms are documented in the 7110, 7210, 7310, 7410, J4400/J4500 sections of the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System Service Manual available at http://wikis.sun.com/display/fishworks.

Sun ZFS Storage appliances include support for a variety of industry-standard client protocols, including:
Sun ZFS Storage systems also include new technologies to deliver the best storage price/performance and unprecedented observability of your workloads in production, including:
Analytics, a system for dynamically observing the behavior of your system in real-time and viewing data graphically
The ZFS Hybrid Storage Pool, composed of optional Flash-memory devices for acceleration of reads and writes, low-power, high-capacity disks, and DRAM memory, all managed transparently as a single data hierarchy
To manage the data that you export using these protocols, you can configure your Sun ZFS Storage system using the built-in collection of advanced data services, including:
RAID-Z (RAID-5 and RAID-6), mirrored, and striped disk configurations
Unlimited read-only and read-write snapshots, with snapshot schedules
Built-in data compression
Remote replication of data for disaster recovery
Active-active clustering for high availability (7310, 7320, 7410, 7420, and 7720)
To maximize the availability of your data in production, Sun ZFS Storage appliances include a complete end-to-end architecture for data integrity, including redundancies at every level of the stack. Key features include:
Predictive self-healing and diagnosis of all system hardware failures: CPUs, DRAM, I/O cards, disks, fans, power supplies
ZFS end-to-end data checksums of all data and metadata, protecting data throughout the stack
RAID-6 (double- and triple-parity) and optional RAID-6 across disk shelves
Active-active clustering for high availability (7310, 7320, 7410, 7420, and 7720)
Link aggregations and IP multipathing for network failure protection
I/O Multipathing between the controller and disk shelves
Integrated software restart of all system software services
Phone-Home of telemetry for all software and hardware issues
Lights-out Management of each system for remote power control and console access
The browser user interface
The BUI is the graphical tool for administration of the appliance. The BUI provides an intuitive environment for administration tasks, visualizing concepts, and analyzing performance data.
The management software is designed to be fully featured and functional on the following supported web browsers: Firefox 3.x, Internet Explorer 7 and 8, Safari 3.1 or later, and WebKit 525.13 or later.
Direct your browser to the system using either the IP address or host name you assigned to the NET-0 port during initial configuration as follows: https://ipaddress:215 or https://hostname:215. The login screen appears.
The online help linked in the top right of the BUI is context-sensitive. For every top-level and second-level screen in the BUI, the associated help page appears when you click the Help button.
The CLI is designed to mirror the capabilities of the BUI, while also providing a powerful scripting environment for performing repetitive tasks. The following sections describe details of the CLI. When navigating through the CLI, there are two principles to be aware of:
Tab completion is used extensively: if you are not sure what to type in any given context, pressing the Tab key will provide you with possible options. Throughout the documentation, pressing Tab is presented as the word "tab" in bold italics.
Help is always available: the help command provides context-specific help. Help on a particular topic is available by specifying the topic as an argument to help, for example help commands. Available topics are displayed by tab-completing the help command, or by typing help topics.
You can combine these two principles, as follows:
