Storage Supports a variety of drive congurations. For details,
see 2.4.1 Drive Congurations.
● Supports two or four M.2 SSDs.
– The PCH supports two M.2 SSDs. If an Avago
SAS3004iMR RAID controller card is congured,
the Avago SAS3004iMR supports two M.2 SSDs.
– When the Avago SAS3004iMR RAID controller
card is used with an SR450C-M, SR430C-ML, or
SR150-M RAID controller card, the drive letter of
the M.2 SSDs managed by the Avago
SAS3004iMR RAID controller card cannot be sda
on the OS.
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.
●
Congure 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 drives.
● Supports a variety of RAID controller cards. Use the
Computing Product Compatibility Checker to
obtain information about the
specic RAID
controller cards supported.
– The RAID controller card supports RAID
conguration, RAID level migration, and drive
roaming.
– The RAID controller card does not occupy a
standard PCIe slot.
