PowerStore host objects

  • Physical servers that will use PowerStore storage, must be defined in PowerStore as a host object. For optimal performance of Linux hosts when using PowerStore storage, verify that the appropriate configuration settings have been applied to all hosts that will be connected to PowerStore. See the following guides for additional information:

    Ensure that the following steps are performed before creating the host object in PowerStore:

    1. Rack and cable the server targeted for Elastic Stack
    2. Zone the server into the fabric
    3. Power on the server
    4. On the physical server, configure and enable the HBAs

    It is recommended that at least two 32Gb dual-port HBAs are installed in the physical server. Two dual-port HBAs provide redundancy of initiator ports and HBAs. More HBAs or HBA ports may be necessary to provide the bandwidth necessary to support the expected Elastic Stack I/O performance requirements.
