Connecting Cloud Innovators: Building Community at .NEXT 2024
Thanks Jeroen. The HCL means the hyperconverged infrastructure? The HDD is of same volume and have identicle part number. So i just have to insert them and wait:-) looks pretty simple .. This is a production server so i dont want to take risk.
Thanks for the information Moustafa, So i just need to plug in the same capacity HDD in the empty slots on Lenovo servers and follow the procedure as you mentioned right? Rules for mixing drive capacities: For versions of AOS earlier than 6.0, all drives of the same type in a node must have the same capacity. So, within a node, all SSDs must have the same capacity and all HDDs must have the same capacity. For AOS 6.0 and later, Nutanix allows mixing of drives with different capacities in the same node. However, the node treats higher-capacity drives as if they had the same capacity as the lower-capacity drives. Nutanix provides the ability to mix drive capacities for cases where you need to replace a drive, but only higher-capacity drives are available. To increase the overall storage capacity of the node, replace all drives with higher-capacity drives. Yes, we have AOS earlier 6.0 and we have procured same capacity HDD. I will just pulg them & see how it
Just plug them in. The storage pool will automatically expand. Really!!! Is that so simple Jeroen:-) I will try it. So how long do i have to wait to see the results? I've done this a couple of times. And yes, it was that simple. Although keep the post from Moustafa in mind ;) Excellent Jeroen & thanks for your help. I will update the results once completed. We have 3 Lenovo serves & I will insert HDD on empty slots and see how it works.
Hello Shaik, Reference: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Hardware-Admin-Guide:har-drive-add-t.html The process of adding a drive is the same for all platforms (both Nutanix and third-party platforms), assuming the platform is running Nutanix AOS. What types of drives you can add depends on your platform configuration. For supported drive configurations, see the system specifications for your platform. Hybrid: a mixture of SSDs and HDDs. Hybrid configurations fill all available drive slots, so the only case where you would add a drive is if there is a drive missing. All-flash: All-flash nodes have both fully populated and partially populated configurations. You can add new drives to the empty slots. All-flash nodes can accept only SSDs. All-flash nodes can contain only even numbers of drives. SSD with NVMe: a mixture of SSDs and NVMe drives. Only certain drive slots can contain NVMe drives. Consult the system specifications for your platform fo
