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

System certification testing was performed with a SLES 12 SP3 64-bit virtual machine installed on UEFI firmware with Secure Boot enabled and configured with up to 128 CPUs and 6128 GB of memory.
VMware guest OS installation information can be found at:http://partnerweb.vmware.com/GOSIG/SLE_12.html.
VMware recommends using the Open VM Tools redistributed by operating system vendors. For additional information, see knowledge base article 2073803 at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073803.
VMware recommends using the paravirtual drivers contributed upstream and redistributed by operating system vendors. For additional information, see knowledge base article 2073804 at https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073804.
The VMware Memory Ballooning driver included in SLES 12 SP3 is auto loaded to improve the virtual machine memory performance.
