PowerFlex rack storage-only deployment

  • PowerFlex rack has a base configuration that is a minimum set of PowerFlex storage-only nodes and fixed network resources.

    Within the base configuration, you can customize the following hardware aspects:

    Hardware Minimum set
    Network
    • One management switch
    • One pair of access or leaf switches
    • A pair of aggregation switches or three spine switches
    • A pair of border-leaf switches
      Note: Only in a leaf-spine configuration

    Storage Six PowerFlex storage-only nodes are recommended, although at least four are required. Software-defined SAN storage (uses local disks to build a PowerFlex storage pool).

    If storage compression is active, a minimum of two NVDIMM components per PowerFlex node are required. A recommendation is made according to the system sizing calculation.

    Management

    Three PowerFlex management controller nodes with high availability.
