Each DS4400 contains 2 controllers. Each controller is <> connected to an FC adapter. Also, each controller has a 1GB cache. <> Writes to either cache are mirrored in the other such that the total <> effective write cache is 1GB per DS4400. There are 5 EXP700 expansion <> units connected to each DS4400. Every EXP700 contains 14 physical <> disks. A logical disk is composed of 5 physical disks in a RAID-5 <> configuration. There is one test filesystem per logical disk. <> <> Note that the DS4400 product was previously named FAStT700. <> <> Enhanced JFS is used for OS and the test filesystems (F1-F98). <> The size of each test filesystem log is 256MB. <> <> QCM stands for Quad-Core Module, two dual-core processor chips plus two <> L3-cache chips. <> <> SMT stands for Simultaneous Multi-Threading.
