Virtual Storage Platform G200 controllers
The Virtual Storage Platform G200 model equipped with dual controllers for communicating with a data host.
Each controller includes the following internal components such as a processor, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory (CFM), battery, and fans. The controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management using Hitachi Device Manager - Storage Navigator. If the data path through one controller fails, all drives remain available to data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller. The controller is equipped with LED indicators for monitoring its operating conditions and notifying possible component replacement.
CBSS controller
The CBSS controller includes specific functional LEDs located on the front and rear of controller and power supplies to provide its operating status.
