PowerStore T models support a unified (block and file) or block-optimized (block only) configuration. Either configuration can support an Oracle environment. For a multiappliance PowerStore T model cluster, only the first appliance in the cluster (the primary appliance) can be configured to support unified storage. Extra appliances added to create a multiappliance cluster are configured automatically as block-optimized during the initial configuration.
