IBM Storwize V3700 controller node canister, part number 00AR108, a hot-swap controller module with Fibre Channel and iSCSI support for V3700 dual controller arrays.
IBM part 00AR108 is a controller node canister for the Storwize V3700, IBM's entry dual controller storage array. Each V3700 holds two of these canisters, which run the array's software, present storage over Fibre Channel and iSCSI, and fail over to each other; a failed canister is replaced by hot-swapping it while the surviving one carries the load. This unit is refurbished and is the part needed to restore a V3700 to dual controller operation. Buyers in Qatar with a V3700 in service order 00AR108 when a canister fails or reports errors, since IBM no longer supplies new ones, and ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock so the array is not left running on one controller.
IBM Storwize V3700 Controller Node Canister 00AR108Specification
The V3700's two canisters mirror their write cache to each other, so a single canister failure loses no data and the array stays online on the survivor, but without redundancy and often with caching disabled, which is why replacement should not wait. The replacement canister takes on the array's configuration automatically from its partner, and the host ports on it come back into service once it has joined the cluster.
Installation
Identify the failed canister from the management interface and its fault light, then with the array running, disconnect its cables after labelling them, release the two handles and withdraw it. Slide the replacement in until the handles engage, reconnect the cables to the same ports, and watch the management interface: the new canister joins the cluster, updates its code to match the partner and returns to a healthy state within a few minutes. Confirm that both controllers show online before leaving it.

Why buy refurbished
Enterprise hardware, tested in Doha, at a fraction of the price of new
Every unit we sell has already proven itself in a data centre. We test it again, grade it, and back it with a warranty before it leaves our stock.
Tested before it ships
POST, burn-in, memory and power-supply checks on every unit. Anything that fails is repaired or pulled from stock, not sold.
Same performance, lower cost
A Xeon runs the same workloads whether it is new or two years old. Spend the difference on more CPUs, memory or storage.
In stock, not on order
New enterprise hardware can take weeks or months to arrive. Ours is on the shelf in Doha and delivered across Qatar within a day.
Warranty and local support
Every unit is covered. Installation, configuration and hardware support are handled by our own team in Qatar, not a call centre abroad.
