Yes, that is possible, you can find the the product mixing restrictions on the following documentation: https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Hardware-Admin-Ref-AOS-v510:har-product-mixing-restrictions-r.html
All-SSD nodes and hybrid SSD/HDD nodes can be mixed in the same cluster if the following conditions are met:
- A minimum of two all-SSD nodes are required in mixed all-flash/hybrid clusters.
- The minimum number of each node type (all-SSD/hybrid) must be equal to the cluster redundancy factor. For example, clusters with a redundancy factor of 2 must have a minimum of 2 hybrid and 2 all-SSD nodes.
- You can run guest VMs on the all-SSD nodes in clusters that also have hybrid nodes, as long as the cluster includes two or more all-SSD nodes.
Hey Thanks Richardson.
I would also like to know, what will be my total usable storage capacity considering hardware specs of both blocks.
I am getting attached results while referring DesignBrewz with
Storage Efficiency as 2:1 and Failover Plan as Standard (N+1) but confused with data residing on SSDs and HDDs.
Total usable capacity (tolerating 1 node failure) will be 62.27TB, where you will have 30.92TB of SSD, 10.59TB of HDD and 20.76TB of savings due to data reduction.
Thanks Richardson.
I wonder how hot and cold tiers would work in this case. As we have one AF block and one Hybrid block. How data will reside.
