System architecture overview
This section briefly describes the architecture of the Virtual Storage
Platform storage system.
Hardware architecture
The basic system architecture is shown in the following diagram.
The system consists of two main hardware assemblies:
• A controller chassis that contains the logic and processing components
• A drive chassis that contains the disk drives and solid state drives. This
chassis is not included in diskless systems.
These assemblies are explained briefly in Chapter 1, Introduction on page
1-1, and in detail in Chapter 3, System Components on page 3-1.
RAID implementation overview
This section provides an overview of the implementation of RAID technology
on the Virtual Storage Platform storage system.
