Finding it difficult to keep up with the growth in unstructured data? Looking for a cost-effective high capacity storage option?

With the new 6 Gb/s SAS HPE D6000 Disk Enclosure, HPE extends and redefines direct-attached storage for BladeSystem servers, combining the simplicity and cost effectiveness of direct-attached storage without sacrificing flexibility or performance. The D6000 can also be directly connected to selected ProLiant Gen8 servers using the Smart Array P421, P431, P441, P822 and P841 Controllers using a standard 2M SAS cable; Single and Dual Domain (P822, P841) environments The HPE D6000 also supports the HPE H221, H222 and the H241 Host Bus Adapters (HBA).

Use the D6000 as part of a straight-forward in-rack 6 Gb/s SAS implementation that delivers high-density, low-cost external zoned direct attach storage for HPE BladeSystem servers. Easily configure storage on the fly with easy to use management software.

Up to six D6000 storage devices can be supported off a single BladeSystem enclosure for up to 1260 TB of capacity. End-to-end 6 Gb/s SAS connectivity enables a high performance storage solution using a HPE Smart Array P721m, P731m or the P741m controller, 6 Gb/s SAS BL switches, and the D6000. 6 Gb/s host connectivity enables higher performance, eases configuration/deployment and broadens supported features of a D6000 using HPE Smart Array P721m, P731m or the P741m controller and 6 Gb/s SAS BL switches.

HPE D6000 Gen9 Base Knowledge.
The D6000 Disk Shelves is a drive-only server. No CPU, no Memory, no Storage controllers. This Disk Shelve can be connected to an Apollo 4500 Server and any HPE Blade servers with the following Storage controllers installed. The Smart Array P421, P431, P441, P822, or the P841 controllers using a standard 2M SAS cable; HPE HBAs H221, H222, and H241 are also supported. This Direct Attached Storage is a great way to expand your system storage while not having to upgrade your system's processors, ram, or networking.

This system comes with Dual I/O Modules, you must fill in the blank I/O slots if you don’t plan to install the Dual I/O Module Kit which enables the Dual Domain configuration. More on this below.

HPE Smart Storage Controllers
RAID is provided by the Smart Array P721m, P731m, P741m, P421, P431, P441, P822 and the P841 Controllers. The D6000 Spec sheet below will have links to all the storage controllers' quick specs pages. To learn more about each controller I suggest looking at each one. Single and Dual Domain environments. Only P822 and P841 support Dual Domain. No zoning.

A dual domain environment typically refers to a computing or IT infrastructure that is divided into two distinct domains or areas. Each domain operates independently with its own set of rules, security policies, user access rights, and administrative controls. The primary reasons for implementing a dual-domain environment are to enhance security and isolation between different types of data, applications, or user groups.

When you install the HPE D6000 Disk Enclosure Dual I/O Module Kit (QQ696A) when using dual-ported SAS drives will be able to create a dual domain environment.

HPE D6000 Gen9 I/0 Ports
Each D6000 can support 4 I/O Modules that each handle 2 SAS ports. This port allows for direct connection from any of the HPE Blade servers. The server must support one of the storage controllers supported by the D6000 Disk Shelf. You can find this list above or read up on the Blade server you have and see which controller would work best for the Direct connection to the Disk Storage device.

HPE D6000 Gen9 Racks
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.

HPE D6000 Gen9 Power and Cooling
This Base System Includes four hot-plug power supplies for n 2 redundancy and four hot-plug fans for n 1 redundancy. The four redundant Hot-Plug Power Supplies have 12V 1200W. When the drawers are pulled out, all the fans will be at full speed.
