The following table lists the CTO base models of the D1212 and D1224 drive enclosures.
The D1212 and D1224 drive enclosures include the following items:
- One LFF or SFF chassis with the following components:
- Dual 3-port environmental service modules
- Two power and cooling modules
- Drives (select models; see Table 2 and Table 3 for details)
- Two 1.5m, 10A/100-250V, C13 to IEC 320-C14 rack power cables (models listed in Table 2 and Table 3), or two customer-configured power cables (CTO models)
- External 0.5m 12Gb SAS cables (select models; see Table 2 and Table 3 for details)
- Lenovo Storage 12Gb SAN Rack Mount Kit - Rails 25"-36"
- Documentation package
Host connectivity
The D1212 and D1224 drive enclosures support dual environmental service module (ESM) configurations. Each ESM has three 12 Gb SAS x4 ports (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644 connectors) labeled A, B, and C. These ports are used for connections to a supported RAID adapter or HBA installed in a server and for daisy chaining the D1212 and D1224 enclosures between each other.
Port A on each ESM is used for connecting the external SAS ports on the RAID controller or HBA to the enclosure, or for connecting Port C on each ESM in the adjacent enclosure for daisy chaining.
Port B on each ESM is used for connecting the external SAS ports on the RAID controller or HBA to the enclosure. Daisy-chaining does not use Port B for connections between adjacent enclosures.
Port C on each ESM is used for connecting the external SAS ports on the RAID controller or HBA to the enclosure, or for connecting Port A on each ESM in the adjacent enclosure for daisy chaining.
The expansion enclosures support single I/O path and dual I/O path connectivity topology. For single I/O path configurations, each port on the adapter can be connected to a separate chain of expansion enclosures by using the ESM A in each connected enclosure. For dual I/O path configurations, each port on the 2-port RAID adapter or HBA is connected to a different ESM chain within the same chain of enclosures. For specific configuration limits, refer to SAS RAID controllers and HBAs.
For SAS RAID controllers, the controller's firmware manages multiple I/O paths from the controller to SAS drives. For SAS HBAs, the host operating system runs multi-pathing software to manage multiple I/O paths.
Up to eight D1212 or D1224 drive enclosures, or a combination of both, can be daisy-chained with support for up to four hosts attached to the chain. Without daisy-chaining, a standalone D1224 drive enclosure can support up to six directly attached hosts. In addition, up to two D1212 and up to two D3284 drive enclosures, or one D1224 and up to two D3284 drive enclosures can be daisy-chained with support for up to two hosts attached to the chain.
The following figures illustrate different host connectivity topologies.
Figure 5. Connectivity topology with one host
Figure 6. Connectivity topology with two hosts
Figure 7. Connectivity topology with four hosts
For topologies with four or more hosts, SAS Y-cables are required to connect the hosts to the drive enclosure. The SAS Y-cable allows two hosts be connected to one SAS port on the ESM. The Y-cables and standard cables are mutually exclusive, that is, either Y-cables or standard cables can be used to connect the hosts to the same drive enclosure, but not both types.
The SAS zoning feature of the D1212 and D1224 specifies how multiple hosts access drives in the enclosures. If SAS zoning is disabled, all attached hosts can access all drives in the enclosures, which is typically used in standalone single-host or clustered multi-host environments, where all cluster nodes need access to all drives. If SAS zoning is enabled, each connected host has exclusive access to a predefined set of drives in the same enclosure, and multiple hosts are isolated from each other.
Configuration notes:
- Attachment of more than one host to the same enclosure without SAS zoning is supported with HBAs only (RAID controllers are not supported). While all attached hosts are capable of accessing all drives in the enclosures, the clustering software running on the hosts controls which cluster nodes have access to the drives at any given time.
- With SAS zoning enabled, only standalone enclosures without daisy-chaining can be partitioned for multiple host access.
- Expansion ports are not supported when zoning is enabled
The supported zone configurations are shown in the following table.
Note: Mode 0 means that zoning is disabled.
The following table lists ordering information for the SAS cables.
Drives
The D1212 drive enclosure supports up to 12 LFF hot-swap drives, and the D1224 drive enclosure supports up to 24 SFF hot-swap drives. The following tables list drive options for the D1212 and D1224 drive enclosures.
