The IBM System Storage N7550T (2867 Model C20) system is an active/active dual-node base unit. It is designed to provide fast data access, simultaneous multiprotocol support, expandability, upgradability, and low maintenance requirements.
N7550T supports the EXN1000 SATA storage expansion unit, the EXN4000 FC storage expansion units, the EXN3000 SAS/SATA expansion unit, the EXN3200 SATA expansion unit, and the EXN3500 SAS expansion unit. At least one storage expansion unit must be attached to the N series system.
The IBM® System Storage® N7550T storage controllers are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iSCSI, CIFS, FCP, FCoE, andNFS protocols. Supported systems include the IBM eServer System p®, System i® (NFS only), System x®, and System z® (NFS only) servers.
The N7550T system consists of the Model C20 and associated software. The N7550T can be configured, via optional features, to be either a storage controller or gateway. It includes Clustered Failover (CFO) support (via required feature), designed to provide failover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. The N7550T must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The N7550T does not include storage in the base chassis.
See the Interoperability Matrix at the following web page for supported devices for your N series system.
