●
In single-system mode, the RH8100 V3 operates as a whole system and
supports four or eight processors.
●
In dual-system mode, the RH8100 V3 uses the Huawei FusionPar technology
to implement the hard partitioning function. In dual-system mode, the
RH8100 V3 operates as two independent systems, which are named systems
A and B or partitions A and B. Each system or partition supports a maximum
of four CPUs.
2.2 Appearance
This topic describes the RH8100 V3 appearance and panels.
Appearance
The RH8100 V3 provides three front I/O modules:
●
The front I/O module of model A (FM-A) provides performance-balanced
configuration.
The FM-A supports a maximum of 12 SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs, or SSDs, two
RAID controller cards, and six standard PCIe slots on PCIe riser cards. The PCIe
slots do not support standard cards that need to connect to external cables,
such as, NICs, HBAs, IBs. You can install PCIe SSDs and GPUs in the slots.
●
The front I/O module of model B (FM-B) provides storage-enhanced
configuration.
The FM-B supports a maximum of 24 SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs, or SSDs and
two RAID controller cards. It does not support standard PCIe slots.
●
The front I/O module of model C (FM-C) provides low-level configuration.
The FM-C supports a maximum of eight SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs, or SSDs and
two RAID controller cards. It does not support standard PCIe slots.
●
The front I/O module of model D (FM-D) supports NVMe PCIe SSDs.
The FM-D supports a maximum of eight SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs, SSDs, or
NVMe PCIe SSDs and two RAID controller cards, but does not support
standard PCIe slots. NVMe PCIe SSDs do not support RAID. If NVMe PCIe SSDs
are installed in all disk slots, no RAID controller cards need to be configured
on the server.
