Introduction to File Engines
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.
• 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.

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

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
ports.
