Introduction
About the StorNext M330 Hardware
About the StorNext
M330 Metadata
Appliance
The StorNext M330 Metadata Appliance offers the powerful file-sharing
capabilities of StorNext in an optimized appliance package. The
StorNext M330 comes with a pair of metadata controller (MDCs) nodes
in a High Availability (HA) configuration and a high-performance
metadata array..
.MDCs coordinate SAN file access across clients. Additionally, the
standby node can be used as a distributed data mover (DDM) host using
the included license.
During installation, the StorNext M330 is configured for use in StorNext
environments operating as a StorNext Metadata Controller (MDC) High
Availability (HA) pair with access to both disk and tape libraries.
