EX300 upgrade paths
Describes the EX300 ECS appliance upgrade paths.
If there are four or more nodes in the system (VDC) with the same disk size or total node disk
capacity, the minimum node expansion is only one. This upgrade is possible when the expansion
node has the same disk size or the total disk capacity of the existing nodes.
For example, you have an EX300 appliance with five nodes containing 1TB disks or have a total disk
capacity of 12TB. You can add a single node with 1TB disks or a total disk capacity of 12TB.
If you are adding nodes that have different disk sizes than the nodes currently in the system, you
must add a minimum of four nodes at a time.
For example, you have an EX300 appliance with five nodes containing 1TB drives. If you want to
add nodes of different drive size (2TB, 4TB or 8TB), you must add four or more nodes, at a time.
Note:
All drives within a node must be of the same drive size, but there can be nodes of
differing drive sizes within a rack.
There are no drive upgrades.
