- Description
- The Purpose of this amendment is to provide questions and answers Question: Explain: zero rebuilt time requirement NIST response: If the logical drives in the raid are small enough (12 drives per RAID 6 set), the dynamic pool function allows the System set to rebuild nearly instantaneously following a drive failure and this occurs transparently to the user. Question: J-bods/disk enclosures are chassis you would hang below the primary dual controller unit. If you want 41.4TB as listed in your requirement you would need 1 x Single Dual controller unit followed by 3 x 2U 12 bay J-bods/disk enclosures for a total of 48 drive support. You are asking for 2 x Solutions so we would double that. Please confirm this type of configuration is correct. A requiring 4 x 2U Dual controller unit does not make sense. Using JBODS behind the primary controller makes sense. Response:Yes, that is one correct configuration. Each raid system would have 1 dual controller’s primary enclosure and 3 sata/sas secondary enclosure that are populated with disks. (not all vendor propose this type of configuration but this is one way to satisfy the requirement). To NIST perspective, we do not want to dictate how the system is configured, as long as it has 48 drives that include 12 SAS and 36 SATA drives. All of these drives are managed by a dual controller head. Question: Please clarify where it calls for “if required” means product must be capable but you do not wish to have us include price in total? After all low bid who meets minimum specifications wins. NIST response: “if required” means the system must support the feature sets but include it as an optional upgrade (not included in the total cost).
