Product Description
Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) is a new platform with legendary Hitachi reliability and balanced scalability for all data. It is simple to manage, optimized for critical business applications and more flexible than any other midrange storage choice. Hitachi Unified Storage is part of an integrated portfolio of storage solutions that can be managed from a single interface for very efficient administration. HUS has a number of key advancements that are not available today with our Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage family: Integrated file and block storage gives customers the highest performing and most feature-rich unified storage available in the midrange storage market. Hitachi Command Suite is updated with a common interface for managing and reporting on block volumes and file systems. Total system capacity doubles to 960 drives in HUS 150, increasing the system capacity scalability to nearly 3PB. Block performance increases 3x for sequential I/O. Large 128TB volumes, 256TB file systems and single namespace. The system trays and disk expansion trays are smaller to increase density and reduce consumption of data center floor space, and power and cooling costs. We have also updated Hitachi Application Protector software to support block and file data stored on the new Hitachi Unified Storage 100 family. This software runs from an application management console to give you easy-to-use, application-consistent snapshot software for backup, recovery and protection of critical application environments.

Config Notes

Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameter in the elilo.conf file was changed from 128 to 256 (crashkernel:512M-:256M) for kdump to function correctly.
Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with following additional parameters: dom0_mem=20G dom0_max_vcpus=20.
Tested as a 2-node scalable partition with 8 Compute Books. Hard disk configuration: RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Maintenance update: SLES 11 SP3 Xen maintenance update 8973 and kernel update 9105 (x86-64) are required and were installed during certification testing.
VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES 11 SP3 drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from http://download.novell.com (VMDP-WIN-2.1.exe).
SUSE Driver Kit: The Unisys E7000 7600R G4 Bootable driver kit is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver kit was installed during the SLES install process as an initial bootable iso image. This driver must be downloaded and installed before the SLES install. To obtain the driver go to: https://drivers.suse.com/unisys/Unisys_E7000_7600R_G4/sle11-sp3-x86_64/1.0/install-readme.html
Install: System installed using an external USB DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and elilo system configuration.
PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where two of the host network adapters were given, one each, to the FV SLES 11 SP3 i586 and FV SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guests. Two of the Intel® I350-T4 ML2 Quad Port GbE Adapters was used during this testing.
