70 -- RAID SUBSYSTEM SOL JM-6037-7051 DUE 071096 POC Jeff Marshall, LSO-360, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899. Lockheed Martin Space Operations (LMSO), NASA's Space Shuttle Processing Contractor at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), FL, seeks sources capable of providing a RAID subsystem with SCSI-2 interfaces. The subsystem must have hot swap capabilities for the power supplies, the disk drives and the cooling fans. Its power supply subsystem must provide load sharing and shall be capable of providing uninterrupted service while a failed power supply is being hot swapped. All hot swappable components shall be capable of being replaced without interruption of service and the RAID subsystem must provide automatic drive rebuilding without interruption of service, and shall be configurable for RAID level 0, 1 and 5 capabilities at a minimum. The subsystem shall be configured with at least 2 16 MB write-back cache which shall be battery backed-up to ensure no loss of data on a power outage. When configured as a RAID 5, the subsystem shall provide storage capabilities of up to 63GB, and minimum capacity shall be equal to or greater than 24GB. The subsystem shall come with host based configuration and monitoring software capable of running on a Sun SPARC 5 with SunOS 4.1.3-U1, and should run under the X11R5 window system. These utilities shall communicate via the SCSI system and not use serial ports. The monitoring software shall provide notification to personnel of failures of drives or power supplies. The system shall be configured with a hot spare disk capable of being used to replace a failed drive in the configured RAID 5 array. The subsystem must be able to rebuild the data automatically in the background. It must be capable of running in either a standard SunOS 4.1.3-U1 environment and the current version of Solaris (Solaris 2.3), and shall have either a redundant controller or a spare controller with mean time replacement of less than 30 minutes. The subsystem should be provided with all required interconnecting cables and terminators and should be capable of being powered via standard office 110VAC outlets. Interested firms should forward indications of interest to reach LMSO no later than 060796. In addition to indications of interest, data should be provided giving company capabilities, experience in this or related field, normal product lines, and such other data as may be useful in substantiating bona fide capability to provide the requirements of this synopsis.
