• Each node must have at least one host adapter. A node without any host adapters is not a supported configuration.
• Each node in a node pair (node 0/1 or node 2/3) must be configured with the same adapters.
• The best practice is to have all the nodes configured with the same adapters. However, in a - node system, nodes in different node pairs can have different adapters.
• The 16Gb Fiber Channel Adapter includes four- 16Gb shortwave FC SFP+ and does not support 32Gb SFP+.

• The 32Gb Fiber Channel Adapter includes four-32Gb shortwave FC SFP+ and does not support 16Gb SFP+
• The 10Gb/ 25Gb Ethernet adapters support both 10GbE SFP+ & 25GbE SFP28.
• The 10Gb/ 25Gb Ethernet Adapters do not include SFPs.  A minimum qty of 1 SFP Kit (containing 2 SFPs) must be ordered per Host Bus Adapter.
• Mixing of 10Gb and 25Gb SFPs in a single HBA is supported.
• 25Gb SFPs only work at 25Gb/s and do not negotiate speed to lower speeds.

HPE Primera SAS Adapters

Description

SKU

HPE Primera 600 12Gb SAS 4-port Host Bus Adapter

N9Z41A

• The HPE Primera SAS adapter is an optional adapter that provides additional SAS ports for drive enclosure connectivity.
• The adapter is supported only on HPE Primera 650 and 670 models and must be installed in the third PCIe slot (slot 5).
• An array with SAS adapters must have one SAS adapter per node.
• The use of the SAS adapter does not increase the max supported number of drive enclosures.

Step 3: Choose Drive Enclosures

Add drive enclosures to expand the configuration and add more drives to the configuration. Drive enclosures can be ordered separately for installation in the field, or they can be factory integrated in a rack. Drive enclosures are optional because the Storage Base products include small form factor drive bays. Each SFF drive enclosure includes 24 drive bays in 2U, each LFF drive enclosure includes 12-drive bays in 2U.  The two drive enclosure types can be intermixed in a single array and only support SAS drives.  LFF drive enclosures are only supported on HPE Primera C6xx models.

R9D22A

• Each SFF drive enclosure includes 24 SAS SFF drive bays, (2) IO modules, (2) power and cooling modules, (1) mounting rail kit, and power cables.
• Each LFF drive enclosure includes 12 SAS LFF drive bays, (2) IO modules, (2) power and cooling modules, (1) mounting rail kit, and power cables.
• Depending on the number of drive enclosures and the HPE Primera model, drive enclosures are either directly connected to the SAS ports of the controllers or daisy chained to the SAS ports of other drive enclosures.
• The best practice is to balance the drive enclosures across all the SAS ports, remembering that the Storage Base includes (24) drives per node pair and counts as an enclosure.
• When including LFF and SFF drive enclosures in the same array, the best practice is to arrange them in the rack so that all the SFF enclosures that belong to one node pair are together and all of the LFF drive enclosures for that node pair are together.
• With a four-node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number of drive enclosures and drive types to each node pair.
• To achieve the highest availability in multi-enclosure configurations, configure a minimum of six (6) enclosures (including the Storage Base) per node pair.
• Drive bays that are not filled with a drive must be covered with a drive blank to preserve proper air flow.
• If future capacity upgrades are expected, include enough Drive Enclosures so that there are some empty bays in each enclosure after all drives are added.
• *HPE offers Trade Agreement Act (TAA) HPE Primera 600 Drive Enclosure options to meet the needs of US Federal Government customers. These products are either manufactured or substantially transformed in a designated country. TAA compliance is only provided when HPE options are included as part of factory integrated orders (CTO).

The following SKU is required to give stability to a factory integrated HPE Primera 600 storage array during shipment when an LFF Drive Enclosure is in the bottommost in the rack:

Description

SKU

HPE Primera 600 LFF Drive Enclosure Bracket

N9Z79A

• The bracket is only required during shipment and uses 1U of rack space.
• HPE recommends keeping the bracket installed if there is no immediate need to utilize the 1U space below the bottommost.
• LFF Drive Enclosure or if there is a plan to relocate the rack in the near future. 

The bracket can be removed if another enclosure is installed below the bottommost Drive Enclosure or if there is no plan to relocate the rack

Step 4: Choose Drives

Drives are orderable at the time the array is purchased or can be added in the future when additional capacity is required. HPE Primera 600 drives are sold as single drives. Note that NVMe SSDs are only supported in the HPE Primera 600 Base and that SAS drives are compatible with the HPE Primera 600 Base and SAS Drive Enclosures.

• For each drive type installed in the array, the minimum supported initial quantity is eight (8) drives per node pair for SSD and SAS 10K HDDs and twelve (12) SAS 7.2K HDDs., NVMe SSDs can be configured in quantities of eight (8) drives per node pair only in slots 16-23.

Notes: When mixing NVMe SSD and SAS SSD, a minimum quantity of sixteen (16) SAS SSD are required per node pair.

• NVMe SSDs are supported in slots 16-23 (rightmost) on Primera A-controllers only.
• SAS HDDs are supported with Primera C-controllers only.
• NVMe SSDs are supported in slots 16-23 in the storage base (two-node or 4-node)
• The minimum upgrade quantity is 2 drives per node pair or 2 drives per enclosure, whichever is larger.
• HPE Primera only supports RAID 6 for all drive types.
• All drive enclosures (including the Storage Base) must contain an even number of drives, with a minimum of two.  The storage base can be left empty if HPE Primera is configured only with the LFF drive enclosure and SAS 7.2K LFF drives.
• The best practice is to add an equal number of drives of the same type to each enclosure.
• In four node configurations, the best practice is to attach the same number and type of drives to each node pair.
• SFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives, beginning with the leftmost slot, slot 0, and filling to the right leaving no empty slots between drives.
• If a system already has SAS SSD configured in slots 16-23 prior to adding NVMe SSD, the SAS SSD must be relocated using HPE Storage Rebalance Service.  Contact your HPE Services Sales Specialist for more information. 
• Trade Acts Agreement (TAA) compliant drives are sourced from TAA compliant Country of Origin (COO) build sites.

Notes: * Subject to select availability.

HPE Data Encryption LTU

R1P29A

HPE Data Encryption E-LTU

R1P29AAE

• A data encryption license (LTU) is required to enable encryption on the HPE Primera array. One encryption license is required for each encrypted array. Once encryption is enabled on the HPE Primera array, it cannot be disabled.
• An encrypted HPE Primera array (i.e. any HPE Primera array that has the Data Encryption license activated or intended to be activated), must have only self-encrypted drives installed.
• A non-encrypted HPE Primera array can have a mix of encrypted and non-encrypted drives.
• Encryption can be turned on, non-disruptively, at any time, even after data has been written to the system.

• FIPS 140-2 Validated Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) have been certified by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Canadian Communications Security Establishment (CSE) as meeting the Level 2 security requirements for cryptographic modules as defined in the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Publication.
• Strengthen the DAR solution with an optional FIPS 140-2 Level-2 validated external key manager. Supports KMIP 1.3 and 1.4 for key management communications.
• Supports Utimaco® Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) 4.0, 5.0 and Gemalto® SafeNet KeySecure k460 centralized key management. 

The local key manager is included in the HPE Primera OS. There is not a separately orderable part number for the local key manager.

HPE Primera Capacity E-RTU*

Description

SKU

HPE Primera 1TB Capacity E-RTU

R4U27AAE

• In select regions, an electronic right to use (E-RTU) is required for each raw TB of capacity. 
• The per-drive quantity of E-RTU required is equal to the RAW capacity of the individual drive rounded up to the nearest TB. 

In the selected regions, the configuration tool (OCA), will automatically configure the necessary E-RTU quantity.

Notes: *This SKU is only available in select regions.

Step 5: Choose Cables for Host Connection, Drive Enclosure Connection, and Remote Copy Connection

HPE Primera 600 requires cables for drive enclosure connections and for host connectivity. SAS Copper cables are required for connecting the drive enclosures to the nodes on the same rack and for daisy chaining between adjacent drive enclosures. Storage Base products and drive enclosures do not include any Copper SAS cables, they are added to the configuration by the configurator tool (OCA). SAS Active Optical Cables are required to expand an HPE Primera 600 into an adjacent rack, to connect drive enclosures in adjacent racks to the nodes in the base rack. OM4 Fiber Cables are required for host connectivity, Remote Copy and Peer Motion.
