5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi Jon, LR because the customer wants to use them basically everywhere in their datacenter. This allows simplified logistics and better bulk pricing. Of course the customer procures SFP+ modules supported by the switch manufacturer and wants to use those for the Nutanix nodes as well. That seemed to be a valid choice, until testing the available SFP+ modules in some older Nutanix node was unsuccessful. Regrettably I did not do these tests myself and have neither the SFP+ modules nor the Nutanix nodes at hand. I have found a web page from Intel stating that only Intel SFP+ modules work in Intel X520 NICs ([url=http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005528.html]http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005528.html[/url]). Thus it seems possible that the SFP+ support problem known from switches now emerges with servers. Thanks, Erik
Is the cluster using different nodes, specifically different SSD and/or HDD capacities per node? As far as I understand it, the cluster may not be able to tolerate losing a high storage node, unless there is at least one other node with the same capacity available.
