Category Specifications
Storage Supports a variety of drive configurations. For details, see
2.5.1 Drive Configurations .
l Supports two M.2 SSD modules.
The drive letter of the M.2 SSD module can be set to
Sda
by changing the grub parameter only when the M.2 SSD
module is used with the SR130, SR130-M, or SR760IT-M
RAID controller card. If the RAID controller card of any
other type is used, the drive letter cannot be
Sda on the OS.
NOTE
l The M.2 SSD module is used only as the boot device when the
OS is installed. Small-capacity (32 GB or 64 GB) M.2 SSDs do
not support logging due to poor endurance. If a small-capacity
M.2 SSD is used as the boot device, a dedicated log drive or
log server is required for logging. For example, you can dump
VMware logs in either of the following ways:
l Redirect /scratch . For details, see https://
kb.vmware.com/s/article/1033696 .
l Configure syslog. For details, see https://
kb.vmware.com/s/article/2003322 .
l The M.2 SSD cannot be used to store data due to poor
endurance. In write-intensive applications, the M.2 SSD will
wear out in a short time.
Use enterprise-level high endurance (HE) SSDs or HDDs for
data storage.
l The M.2 SSD is not recommended for write-intensive service
software due to poor endurance.
l Do not use the M.2 SSD as the cache.
l Supports hot swap of SAS/SATA/NVMe drives.
NOTE
The NVMe drives support:
l Surprise hot swap if the VMD function is enabled and the latest
Intel VMD driver is installed.
l Orderly hot swap if the VMD function is disabled.
l Supports a variety of RAID controller cards. Use the
Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to obtain
information about the specific RAID controller cards
supported.
–
The RAID controller card supports RAID configuration,
RAID level migration, and drive roaming.
–
The RAID controller card does not occupy a standard
PCIe slot.
For details about the RAID controller card, see Huawei V5
Server RAID Controller Card User Guide .
l Supports SAS HBA cards or SAS RAID controller card
(with a maximum of 4 GB cache) to improve storage
performance and data security.
NOTE
If the BIOS is in legacy mode, the 4K drive cannot be used as the boot
drive.
