RAID Options

Embedded Base IO

The Base IO includes the embedded Intel RSTe SATA controller with 6Gb SATA support for two (2) or four (4) 2.5" SATA solid state drives (SSDs). The RSTe SATA controller is directly connected to the internal drive carriers located in the rear of the Superdome Flex Base Chassis.

The internal drive backplane can support either SAS  or SATAHDDs/SSDs when connected to the optional HPE 9361-4i RAID controller or HPE 3162-8i encryption RAID controller. Storage options are limited to only SATA HDDs/SSDs when connected to the embedded Intel RSTe SATA controller. 

The drives can be used as physical disks (HBA mode) or can be configured as RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 using SW RAID; RAID 1 is the default setting from the factory. Boot support is available for both physical/HBA mode and RAID mode. The internal SATA BIOS assisted RAID mirroring is not supported with VMware. 

Embedded Intel RSTe SATA Controller

The drives can be used as physical disks (HBA mode) or can be configured as RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 using SW RAID; RAID 1 is the default setting from the factory. Boot support is available for both physical/HBA mode and RAID mode. The internal SATA BIOS assisted RAID mirroring is not supported with VMware.

HPE 9361-4i RAID Controller

The HPE 9361-4i RAID controller is one of the options for RAID support when Superdome Flex is configured with two (2) or four (4) 2.5" SAS/SATA solid state drives (SSDs) or hard disk drives (HDDs). The HPE 9361-4i provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity directly to the internal drive carriers located in the rear of the Superdome Flex Base Chassis. Supports hardware RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6; RAID 1 is the default setting from the factory. The HPE 9361-4i provides boot support. The HPE 9361-4i consumes two (2) PCIe slots; one (1) for the RAID controller and one (1) for the SuperCap.

HPE 3154-8e RAID Controller

The HPE 3154-8e provides 12Gb SAS connectivity to external SAS devices like the HPE D3000 Disk Enclosures. The drives can be used as physical disks (HBA mode) or hardware RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60. The HPE 3154-8e provides boot support for both physical/HBA mode and RAID mode. The HPE 3154-8e consumes two (2) PCIe slots; one (1) for the RAID controller and one (1) for the SuperCap.

HPE 3162-8i Encryption RAID Controller

The HPE 3162-8i Encryption RAID controller is one of three options when RAID support is required on Superdome Flex when configured with two (2) or four (4) 2.5" SAS/SATA solid state drives (SSDs) or hard disk drives (HDDs). The HPE 3162-8i provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity directly to the internal drive carriers located in the rear of the Superdome Flex Base Chassis. Supports hardware RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6; RAID 1 is the default setting from the factory. The HPE 3162-8i provides boot support. The HPE 3162-8i consumes one (1) PCIe slots and comes with onboard SuperCap for cache protection. The HPE 3162-8i provides optional controller-based encryption which encrypts data on RAID arrays and single drive RAID 0 with AES 256 encryption. It works at line speed, accelerated by silicon engines, with all SAS and SATA devices that are supported in RAID (SSDs and HDDs) and supports local encryption key management. 

Platform Management

The HPE Superdome Flex delivers system administration, control, and platform management both via a programmable Redfish API and also in a comprehensive and concise command-line interface. The Redfish® API can be used in many ways including:

- Directly in simple scripts to obtain inventory and monitoring information

- With HPE OneView* for a graphical user interface, as well as to manage many HPE systems in the datacenter at once

- With Openstack Ironic for Provisioning the OS 

The Rack Management Controller (RMC) in Superdome Flex is available either in a standalone, 1U rack-mount component or as an embedded option (the "eRMC") running within the Base Chassis. The standalone RMC is capable of managing a Superdome Flex system from one chassis up to the maximum supported configuration available for Superdome Flex. The embedded version, eRMC, is capable of managing a Superdome Flex system of one or two chassis (4 or 8 processor sockets). The 1U RMC is required for Partitioned systems regardless of socket/chassis count.

The HPE Superdome Flex has a built-in and always available platform management system. By integrating the management into the server platform, Hewlett Packard Enterprise ensures that every Superdome Flex comes with the full set of management features, and simplifies the task of integrating Superdome Flex into the data center. The purpose of the HPE Superdome

Flex management system is to:

- Provide built-in tools to manage hardware and provide mission-critical system availability (inventory, monitor, diagnose, configure, maintain, and self-healing)

- Make it easier for users and applications to manage the system (inventory, start, stop, connect console, and so on)

The HPE Superdome Flex manageability system provides a very powerful control point for the system, and the RMC makes managing the HPE Superdome Flex much easier by centralizing the control and building the management into the hardware and firmware of the system. It provides the following features:

- CLI for easy access to all RMC functions, providing potential scripting and power user convenience

- Console, and console logs

- Available remotely connected virtual media or virtual KVM

- Built-in Error Analysis Engine constantly monitors all system hardware, analyzes log and telemetry data, and determines corrective actions for highest system uptime (often performing corrective actions automatically)

- HPE Superdome Flex RMC will interface directly with the HPE Remote Support software for data center wide fault management visibility and tie-in to HPE support services, such as the Insight Online portal

Notes:. Superdome Flex is supported starting with HPE OneView release v4.1.
