There are 4 models of this "datacenter in a box" solution where servers, storage and networking are all combined in one blade-enclosure The PS-M 4110 is a SAN array in the form-factor of a dual 1/2 height blade-server and can be installed in the Dell M1000e blade-chassis.

All arrays support RAID levels 6,10 and 50.įor the PS6100 series and PS6110 series there are 6 sube-models, based on the type of disks used: Model The PS61x0 series consists of two main models: PS6100 and PS6110 for 1G or 10G iSCSI ethernet ports on the controller. This model is described separately below. The PS4100 series consists of 4 rack-models and one PS-M4110 for placement in the Dell M1000e blade enclosure. The last generation systems are the PS4100 and PS6100 series systems which continue to be sold. 4100, 61) there are several sub models that include specific disk configurations. Its current primary models are the PS4100, PS6100 and PS6500 with 1Gb Ethernet and 10 Gb Ethernet model options. The flagship product of the EqualLogic line is the PS Series (formerly PeerStorage ). Volumes are exposed on a SAN network, and used by virtual machine hosts or other computers. Arrays can be segmented into pools, and from pools, volumes. By combining multiple arrays per group, very large storage groups can be created with maximum capacity in one group of over 1.5 PB. Groups can mix different members, including multiple hardware generations, as well as different RAID types, in a group. All PS series systems, except the PS-M4110 blade chassis system, are 19-inch rack systems in a 2 rack unit form factor or a 4 RU chassis for some of the PS61x0 models and the PS65x0 dense models.ĮqualLogic Arrays can be combined with up to 16 arrays per group. EqualLogic options combine both in the same chassis and automatically migrate the most frequently accessed data to the SSDs. Within each series there are several options allowing for different types and sizes of hard disk drives or solid-state drives.
#EQUALLOGIC SAN HQ EXPIRED SOFTWARE#
There have been a number of previous generations, and as long as the software is updated on older systems they can work with the newer models. The currently (June 2014) sold systems with 1 Gbit/s connections are the PS4100, PS6100 and PS6200 while the comparable systems with 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connections are PS4110, PS6110 and PS6210. At the time of acquisition, the company was backed by four venture capital investors: Charles River Ventures, TD Capital Ventures, Focus Ventures and Sigma Partners.ĮqualLogic systems use iSCSI via either Gigabit Ethernet or 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers. The all-cash take-over transaction of $1.4 billion was the highest price paid for a company financed by venture investors at the time. The company was considering an initial public offering on the Nasdaq stock-exchange, but accepted an offer from Dell in 2007, and was absorbed in late January 2008. Formed in 2001 by Peter Hayden, Paul Koning, and Paula Long, it raised $52 million from investors between 20. However, it's worth trying and as long as the correct drive is removed, it won't cause a problem for the array.EqualLogic was a company based in Nashua, New Hampshire. However, that can depend upon what version of firmware has been installed on the unit (you can have 3 lots device, controller and drive). I would say that I have experienced the occasional issue with an Equallogic and if you remove the faulty drive, then re-insert it, sometimes the drive will actually then be OK. They are usually pretty good at sending out replacement drives. The IP addresses for the iSCSI connections won't allow you to connect to the device.ĭo those people have a support package with Dell? If so (and assuming that they have set-up the report home function), I would have expected the device to have sent off an alert email to the support guys at Dell. There is also some Dell system management software (mind gone blank, can't remember what it is called) that might also give details if it has been installed and configured. There should be an IP address for the Equallogic management interface port on the back of the unit that will allow you to use a browser to show a graphical display, indicating which drive will have failed and there will be an alert in the activity window.
