Storage
Supports a variety of drive configurations. For details,
see
5.5.1 Drive Configuration and Drive Numbering
.
● Supports two M.2 SSDs.
– M.2 SSDs are supported for VROC (SATA RAID)
configuration when the server is configured with an
M.2 SSD adapter card.
NOTE
● The M.2 SSD is used only as a boot device for installing
the OS. 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:
● Redirect
/scratch

.
● Configure syslog. For details, see
kb.vmware.com/s/article/2003322
.
● The M.2 SSD cannot be used to store service data due to
poor endurance. In write-intensive applications, the M.2
SSD will wear out in a short time.
If you want to use SSDs or HDDs as data storage
devices, use enterprise-level SSDs or HDDs with high
DWPD.
● The M.2 SSD is not recommended for write-intensive
service software due to poor endurance.
● Do not use M.2 SSDs for cache.
● Supports hot swap of SAS/SATA/NVMe U.2 drives.
NOTE
When NVMe drives are configured, note the following:
● Before using the VMD function, contact technical support
engineers of the OS vendor to check whether the OS
supports the VMD function. If yes, check whether the
VMD driver needs to be manually installed and check the
installation method.
● If the VMD function is enabled and the latest VMD driver
is installed, the NVMe drives support surprise hot swap.
● If the VMD function is disabled, the NVMe drives support
orderly hot swap.
● Supports multiple types of RAID controller cards. For
details, see "Search Parts" in the
– The RAID controller card supports RAID
configuration, RAID level migration, and drive
roaming.
– The RAID controller card supports a
supercapacitor for power-off protection to ensure
user data security.
– The PCIe plug-in RAID controller card occupies
one PCIe slot.
