Components Modifiable Guidance

CPU

P Higher core count with similar or better CPU clock speed is supported.

PSwitching between different generation of CPU platform is not

supported e.g. Romley vs. Purley.

Memory P Adding more memory than what is listed is supported.

Caching Tier P

Caching tier device needs to be of same or higher endurance and

performance class.

Capacity Tier PCapacity tier device needs to be of same or higher endurance and

performance class.

Controller

xOnly tested, certified and listed controller configurations for that vSAN

ReadyNode is supported.

xThe firmware and driver for the controller should be an exact match as

listed on the vSAN VCG.

NIC

P You can add more NICs if there are available slots in the server.

PNIC of similar or higher configuration allowed and supported e.g. 10G

with 25G or 40G.

P The NIC needs to be IOVP (ESXi) certified.

Boot Device P Changing boot devices is allowed.

Allowable Changes in vSAN ReadyNode BOM

October 10, 2017

13

• Make sure to choose nodes that grow with your needs.

• Don’t cut corners on the lowest cost item of the total BOM.

• Keep in mind the type of flash to be used.

Components Modifiable Guidance

Disk Group P

vSAN ReadyNodes are tested and certified with certain number of

disk groups. But you can select any number of disk groups up to 5

(maximum per node).

Disk Group

Configuration

PChange in disk group configuration is allowed e.g. instead of 2 *

1.6TB, you can choose 4 * 800TB.

PThe changed drives need to belong to same or higher performance

and endurance class.

SAS Expander xSAS Expanders may be required to add more disk drives in a node.

Only certified expanders are allowed. Refer to the footnote of the

ReadyNode BOM to see whether an expander is certified or not.

Caching PHigher capacity “caching tier” device is supported than listed in

ReadyNode BOM.

Capacity

PHigher or lower capacity of “capacity tier” device is allowed than

listed in ReadyNode BOM.

PNumber of capacity drives may be changed. You can add or reduce

the number of drives depending on your overall capacity needs.

P You may need to adjust the caching tier size accordingly.

Additional Certified

IO Controller PYou can add additional certified controller in each node and

configure disk groups behind the controller for better performance.

Change in Storage

Device Protocol xWe do not support changing protocol within vSAN ReadyNode e.g.

you cannot replace a SAS drive with NVMe or vice-versa having

same endurance and performance class.

Separate Boot

Device Controller PBoot device and vSAN data store need to be behind separate

controllers.

Allowable Changes in Storage Sub-Systems of vSAN ReadyNode BOM

• You can upgrade your vSAN as needed

• Start with the correct HW
