Step 3 – Choose Head HDD Capacity

The HPE Alletra Storage 5000 support (21) LFF Hard Drives for capacity and (6) Dual Flash Carriers with SFF Solid State Drives for cache. The HPE Alletra 5010H supports (11) LFF Hard Drives for capacity and (2) Dual Flash Carries with SFF SSDs for cache. The Alletra 5010H can be field upgraded with an additional (11) HDD drive bundle and a second cache bundle. Additional capacity can be added to the Alletra 5000 by connecting up to (6) expansion shelves to the base array.

Step 4 – Choose Head SSD Cache Capacity

Select Two of the following options (5010, 5030, 5050):

Each cache bundle must be of the same capacity or should not differ by more than one step function in SSD capacity

Step 5 – Choose Head Networking Option

Up to three (3) of the following options can be selected. Please refer to configuration guidelines for specific support of networking options. The 5010/5010H supports up to two (2) head networking options.

Notes:

– The following minimum ports are recommended for best performance:

• • 5010/5010H: at least 2-ports
• • 5030: at least 4-ports
• • 5050: at least 8-ports

– All 10 GbE , 25 GbE , 16 GB FC, and 32 GB FC cards include SFP optical transceivers

– The 25 GbE NICs include SFP28 transceivers for 25G environments

– Head networking options include a total of two (2x) cards which are evenly populated in the two controllers.

Step 6 – Add Expansion Shelves

Expansion Shelves

Add up to six (6) Adaptive expansion shelves to each array. Mix any options below up to array maximum capacity.

Incase of field upgrades, please use the Field Upgrade Options listed later in this guide.

Please refer to configuration guidelines for specific array capacity limits.

Best practices when adding JBOD expansion shelves

• – SAS Port load balancing

  • • When adding multiple expansion shelves to an array, evenly distribute the expansion shelves across the two (2) SAS expansion ports on each controller. For example, first expansion shelf to SAS port 1, second expansion shelf to SAS port 2, third expansion shelf to SAS port 1 (via first shelf), etc.
  • • No more than three (3) expansion shelves per SAS expansion port
  • • Keep disk and cache capacity balanced across both SAS expansion ports
• – Shelf capacity and cache

  • • For best performance, it is recommended the head shelf and all expansion shelves are the same capacity (or at least no more than 1 disk size delta). This guideline is more important in the higher performing systems.
  • • If different capacities are required, the highest capacity should be in the head shelf, followed by expansion shelves closest to the head shelf
  • • If different cache capacities are configured, the highest cache capacity should be in the head shelf, followed by expansion shelves closest to the head shelf
  • • Keep disk and cache capacity balanced across both SAS expansion ports
• – Scale-out configurations

  • • For multi-array configurations, the highest performing array should be assigned as the group leader

Expansion shelf cache

Notes:

– Minimum of 1. cache bundle and Maximum of 2

– The expansion shelf capacity should be same or lower than head shelf

Step 7 – Add Software (Mandatory)

HPE Alletra Software and Support SaaS

HPE Alletra Storage 5000 arrays include a subscription to HPE Alletra Software and Support SaaS that enables cloud-based management of the array from the HPE Data Services Cloud Console and access to data services as they become available on HPE GreenLake. The subscription includes access to the HPE Alletra software and related support. It is included in the quote when support is selected and has the same duration as support. For more information, please refer to the HPE Data Services QuickSpecs:

https://h20195.www2.HPE.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=a50002569enw.

Step 8– Add Support (Mandatory)

Support recommendations are designed to help you enhance technology operations, lower risk and make it easier for you to seek the right balance between affordability and service-level commitments. Depending on your individual support needs, choose from four levels of care that cover the entire lifecycle to better address your needs from 3-, 4- and 5-year durations for service levels ranging from Basic Exchange (Next Business Day parts exchange) to Essential (4 hour onsite response).

Installation Services

Installation Services are intended to guide you from start to finish and to help make your installation a success.

Notes: Installation services are optional.

Racks

HPE Alletra Storage 5000 arrays and expansion shelves are compatible with industry standard 4-post EIA 19-inch racks with square mounting holes, including HPE 36U, 42U and 48U Enterprise Shock Racks. HPE recommends HPE racks with a depth of 1200 mm to best accommodate the length of the Alletra 5000 chassis; the HPE 1200 mm rack provides ample room for cabling and ease of serviceability. HPE racks with a depth of 1075 mm can be used but may have limited space for cabling and component access. If a 3^rd party rack with a depth less than 1075 mm is used, the rear doors cannot be fully closed.
