Introduction to File Engines • Being based on the Pangea V001R001 hardware platform (namely the controller enclosure of an S5500T/S5600T/S6800T), the file engine of a T series unified storage system is also 4 U high. • Each controller in this independent engine serves as a file engine node, and each engine serves as a two-node file engine.
Controller-file engine • Each controller serves as a node.
Interface module • Each node has six I/O module slots. • Each node has a GE card for heartbeat signaling. • Each node has an 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel card for disk array connection. • Each node has a maximum of four GE or 10GE cards for interfacing with NAS hosts.

Note: the GE I/O Module comes with File engine can only be used for heartbeat. The host connectivity requires extra I/O Module
Heartbeat network of a multi-node file engine (It requires additional switches, and each node uses two GE ports as heartbeat network ports.)

Configuration Notes 1. Choose an appropriate RAID level. ▬ Chooses a suitable RAID level from the supported RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50 based on the actual application scenario. ▬ As recommended, uses RAID 5 or 1 SAS or Fibre Channel disks ▬ You need to use RAID 6 for a RAID group that consists of NL-SAS disks or SATA disks. (The ISM uses RAID 6 by default) . 2. Configure a moderate number of disks for each RAID group. ▬ The optimal number of disks configured for one RAID 5 or RAID 6 group is 8 to 11. ▬ Configures a maximum of 16 disks for each RAID 10 group. ▬ Weighs the disk utilization ratio, disk failure rate, reconstruction duration, and disk performance when you choose a RAID level. 3. Deploy hot spare disks. ▬ Deploys hot spare disks whenever possible. ▬ Avoids using coffer disks as hot spare disks. ▬ As recommended, configures at least one hot spare disk for each enclosure and at least two for the sole controller enclosure. 4. Intermix different types of disks in practice. ▬ Avoids intermixing high-speed disks with low-speed ones within the same enclosure. ▬ Configures dedicated hot spare disks for different types of disks. 5. Calculates the available capacity of disks according to the RAID level (redacted). 6. Configures an ideal of no more than 72 and a maximum of less than 120 disks for each pair of back-end Page 18 ports.
