The following tables provide the configuration details of a Dell PowerEdge R640 server storage only and compute only nodes:
Table 3. Storage-only nodes
Hardware | Configuration |
CPU Cores | 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6126 CPU @ 2.60 GHz |
Memory | 14 x 16 GB |
NIC | 2 x Mellanox ConnectX-4 LX 25 GbE SFP Adapter |
1 x Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 4P X710/I350 rNDC | |
Storage | BOSS S1 Controller 2 x 240 GB SATA SSD |
Dell HBA330 controller 8 x 1.9 TB SAS SSD | |
Operating system | Embedded operating system |
PowerFlex | 3.6.0.2 |
Note: In a Dell PowerEdge R640 server, available storage on storage nodes is the only difference between storage and compute nodes. SSDs in the storage nodes are used to form a storage pool and volumes that are used by the compute nodes.
