· For each drive type installed in the array, the minimum recommended initial quantity is eight (8) drives per node pair for SSD and SAS performance HDDs, and twelve (12) drives per node pair for Nearline HDDs.
Notes: 8 drives support RAID 1 and RAID 5. For RAID 6 choose 12 drives.
· The minimum number of SSDs for Adaptive Flash Cache (AFC) is two (2).
· Minimum upgrade quantity is 4 drives per node pair or 2 drives per enclosure, whichever is larger. Best practice is to run Autonomic Rebalance (also known as tunesys) after adding the drives.
· RAID 6 is strongly recommended for all drive types, SSDs and HDDs (both Fast Class and Nearline).
· All node enclosures must contain either zero (0) or an even number of the same type of drives (FC, NL, SSD).
· All drive enclosures must contain an even number of drives, with a minimum of two.
· A best practice is to add equal numbers of drives to all enclosures compatible with the drive type being added.
· With a four node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number and type of drives to each node pair.
· Small Form Factor (SFF)-specific configuration practices
· SFF drives may be loaded into the Storage Base enclosures, the Upgrade Node Pair enclosure and the 2U SAS drive enclosure.
· SFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives, beginning with the leftmost slot, slot 0, and filling to the right, leaving no empty slots between drives.
· Large Form Factor (LFF)-specific configuration practices
LFF drives may be loaded into the 4U SAS drive enclosure.
­ LFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives starting at the bottom of a column, leaving no empty slots between drives in the column.
­ Intermixing SSDs and spinning media in a LFF drive enclosure is allowed as long as each drive type is installed in even pairs in the same column.
­ It is permitted to have empty columns between columns containing drives. Different columns do not have to contain the same number of drives.
­ An all LFF drive configuration is permitted, leaving the Storage Base Enclosure empty.
