Product Description
The ETERNUS DX8700 S2 enterprise disk storage system, with powerful Intel Xeon processors and multi-dimensional scalability, is purpose built for large enterprises. ETERNUS DX8700 S2 provides non-disruptive capacity upgrades up to 3,072 disk drives, just by adding disks or complete drive enclosures. Maximum performance is provided by configurations based on from 2 to 8 controller units, with maximal 128 front-end ports for host connectivity. For simultaneous connection to different network types, FC, FCoE and iSCSI host interfaces can operate in mixed configurations. Tieredstorage optimization using a range of SAS, Nearline SAS and SSD drive options lowers the overall total cost of storage. The challenges of data exposure protection are addressed by Self- Encrypting Drives (SED). Flexible management across different quality of service profiles, using different drive types for each application scenario, ensures efficient assignment of system resources matched to the performance priorities of different applications. System robustness with redundant interconnections to the storage array, internal redundant components and local data copy options ensure high availability for today’s non-stop business. Remote replication to a second storage device protects all valuable data assets across the entire enterprise against site outages.

Config Notes

Install: System installed using PXE network install; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Disk configuration: HDD two disk RAID 0 and M.2 boot device with two SSD configured as RAID 0. Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with and requires the following additional load parameters: dom0_mem:16G dom0_max_vcpus:16.
Kdump (SLE15): the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were increased from the default to crashkernel=231M,high crashkernel=122M,low using YaST.
VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES drivers are included with the OS. The Windows Server 2016 drivers are available from http://download.suse.com (VMDP-WIN-2.5.exe).
SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to the SLES 15 FV guest. One of the internal X550-T2 10GBase-T adapters was used in this testing.
