Front drive numbering

The front drive slots are numbered for identification purposes. The number of servers and corresponding number

of drives varies with the implementation.
The drive numbering sequence, is reported by the hypervisor manager or HPE OmniStack CLI commands, and

enables you to identify a specific drive for troubleshooting. For information on the CLI commands, see the 

HPE

OmniStack 3.7.6 for vSphere Command Reference Guide

.

The total number and placement of drives is based on the number of servers and the server type. Slots without a

drive contain a filler and cannot be used to install additional drives.
In a fully populated HPE SimpliVity 170 Gen10 system with four servers and 24 drives, drives associated with

server 1 are numbered 1-1 through 1-6, drives associated with server 2 are numbered 2-1 through 2-6, drives

associated with server 3 are numbered 3-1 through 3-6, and drives associated with server 4 are numbered 4-1

through 4-6.

An HPE SimpliVity 190 Gen10 system consists of two 2U servers supporting a total of 12 drives in the chassis.

Server 1 uses drives 1-1 through 1-3 and drives 2-1 through 2-3. Server 3 uses drives 3-1 through 3-3, and 4-1

through 4-3.
