Storage Supports a variety of drive congurations. For details,
see 5.5.1 Drive Congurations.
● Supports two M.2 SSDs.
NOTE
● The M.2 SSD module is used only as the boot device
when the OS is installed. Small-capacity (32 GB or 64
GB) M.2 SSDs do not support logging due to poor
endurance. If a small-capacity M.2 SSD is used as the
boot device, a dedicated log drive or log server is
required for logging. For example, you can dump
VMware logs in either of the following ways:
● Redirect /scratch. For details, see https://
kb.vmware.com/s/article/1033696.
● Congure syslog. For details, see https://
kb.vmware.com/s/article/2003322.
● The M.2 SSD cannot be used to store data due to poor
endurance. In write-intensive applications, the M.2 SSD
will wear out in a short time.
Use enterprise-level high endurance (HE) SSDs or
HDDs for data storage.
● The M.2 SSD is not recommended for write-intensive
service software due to poor endurance.
● Do not use the M.2 SSD as the cache.
● Supports hot swap of SAS/SATA/NVMe drives.
NOTE
The NVMe drives support:
● Surprise hot swap if the VMD function is enabled and
the latest Intel VMD driver is installed.
● Orderly hot swap if the VMD function is disabled.
● Supports a variety of RAID controller cards. Use the
Computing Product Compatibility Checker to
obtain information about the
specic RAID
controller cards supported.
– The RAID controller card supports RAID
conguration, RAID level migration, and drive
roaming.
– The PCIe RAID controller card occupies one
standard PCIe slot.
For details about the RAID controller card, see
Huawei V5 Server RAID Controller Card User
Guide.
● Supports the 24-port SAS HBA card to improve
storage performance and data security.
NOTE
If the BIOS is in legacy mode, the 4K drive cannot be used as
the boot drive.
