HPE Superdome X products are comprised of two main components: HPE BladeSystem Superdome Enclosure and the BL920s Server Blade

HPE BladeSystem Superdome Enclosure

The system can be field racked. However, it is strongly recommended that customers order the systems racked from the factory. This provides the customer the benefit of extensive system testing and avoids possible premium service charges for field racking service. An important restriction to note about field racked units: field racked units are limited to single blade configurations due to weight limitations. Additional blades must be ordered as separate items and will be shipped along with the enclosure. Field racking requires the use of an appropriate material lift capable of lifting 400 lbs. The RONI lift is no longer available for purchase. Suggested replacement is the Genie Material Lift GL-8 (http://www.genielift.com/).

HPE Superdome X systems are supported in the HPE 600 mm wide 42U Intelligent Series rack.

Other products may be placed in the same rack as Superdome X. Placement of these other products must not result in moving the server enclosure.

All racks in the same order must be the same height and width.

NOTE: The SUV dongle cable is HPE part number 409496. It connects to the SUV port on the front of each blade and brings out USB (2 port) serial (DB9) and VGA (DB15). This is how a crash cart or a direct-attached USB DVD is connected for debugging the system.

HPE Superdome X is supported in the HPE 600mm 42U wide Intelligent Series rack with a standard rack door.
Each BL920s blade is populated with one XNC2 Agent chip, two processor modules, and eight Intel Scalable Memory Buffer chips.

Detailed partitioning rules are included in the configuration rules for each system. However, general rules are as follows:

1. Load the largest partitions first, and in accordance with the supported nPAR configurations as documented herein.
2. Odd/even slot loading for BL920s blades in the same partition is required by nPAR sizing rules. For instance, a four blade partition must have blades loaded in slots 1/3/5/7 or 2/4/6/8 (not slots 1/2/3/4 as in legacy Superdome).
3. A BL920s blade must be in slot 1 of the enclosure.
   
   

A BL920s blade or filler blade (HPE CAMnet Completer Module, CCM) must be in slot 2 or 3 of the compute enclosure. A CCM is needed if there is only a single blade to provide redundant manageability fabric from the GPSMs to the OAs. A CCM is automatically included in the enclosure, in slot 2, when there is only one compute blade.

HPE Superdome X

Configuration Rules

The HPE BladeSystem Superdome Enclosure is the basic building block for the HPE Superdome X.

Multiple HPE nPartitions (HPE nPars) can be supported in 1-Blade, 2-Blade, 3-Blade (BL920s Gen9 blades only), 4-Blade, 6-Blade (BL920s Gen9 (v4) only) or 8-Blade configurations.

• Blades can be ordered in single or multiple quantities. A minimum of one BL920s server blade must be ordered with a Superdome Enclosure and populated in slot 1. If only one blade is ordered, a CCM must be populated in slot 2 for CAMnet topology redundancy. A CCM is automatically included in the enclosure when there is only one blade.
• All blades are populated with two processor modules
• A Superdome Enclosure can have up to eight BL920s server blades
• A Superdome Enclosure contains four Crossbar Fabric Modules (XFMs)
• A Superdome Enclosure has two Onboard Administrator (OA) boards populated
• Two Global Partition Services Modules (GPSMs) are included
• There are single phase and three phase power distribution options.
  
  

Racking Choices

The HPE Superdome X has some basic racking rules. The Superdome Enclosure is 18U high and can be racked in the 42U high HPE 600mm wide Intelligent Series rack. The HPE Superdome X may be ordered field racked, but some disassembly is required.

The default assumption is that compute enclosures are loaded in the rack at the bottom. It is recommended that 2U is left below the bottom of the compute enclosure in the 42U rack to provide PDU and cabling exit space.

The supported configuration is a single rack for a Superdome Enclosure at the bottom of the rack leaving space above for other peripherals.

NOTE: The TFT7600 rack mountable display is not supported with the HPE Superdome X.

Partitioning Choices

The HPE Superdome X may be partitioned into different mixes of HPE nPartions - HPE nPARs. The configurations specified herein allow the customer to hard partition their HPE Superdome X into the configuration that best suits their computing needs.

The enclosure's midplane has been routed such there is more bandwidth across odd slots and even slots vs. mixed. Therefore, a four blade partition will have better performance when all four of the blades are in odd (1, 3, 5, 7) or even (2, 4, 6, 8) slots vs. mixed (1, 2, 3, 4) slots.

Below are the configurations when shipped from the factory

HPE Superdome X partition loading

NOTE: Support for multiple nPartitions within the enclosure, and those nPartitions can be 1-Blade, 2-Blades, 3-Blades*, 4-Blades, 6-Blades* or 8-Blades in size.
NOTE: 3-blade nPartitions (nPars) are only supported with BL920s Gen9 blades

NOTE: 6-blade nPartitions (nPars) are only supported with BL920s Gen9 (v4) blades

Power Distribution Options

The Superdome Enclosure power supplies are 80 PLUS Platinum Rated 2400W supplies.

The Superdome Enclosure is designed to support N+N redundancy of the power supplies. To retain dual source redundancy in conjunction with the power supply redundancy of Superdome 2, it is necessary to connect all six power supplies located left of center (three top and three bottom) to one source and all six power supplies located right of center (three top and three bottom) to the other source.

There are nine AC power connection options offered in Superdome Enclosures. These can be divided into three main configurations

• Single Phase only (16A/20A, single phase cords that plug directly into wall sockets)

- Connectors on back of the compute enclosure are IEC60320-C19:

- A total of 12 single phase power cords are necessary to power the 12 power supplies in the Superdome Enclosure. (power option #001)

- To limit the number of power cords exiting the rack (decrease from 12 cords to 4 cords) it is possible to use a single phase IEC309 63A Power Distribution Units (PDUs) for power cord aggregation. (power option #006)

- Power option #010 is only available in Japan. There are 6 NEMA L6-30P single phase PDU's at the bottom of the rack.
NOTE: Power option #010 is not available with the 36u rack.

• Below is a photo of the rear of a Superdome Enclosure with the single phase power interface modules installed, they are visible at the extreme top and bottom of the unit:

• Single and Three Phase mix (single phase cables within the rack connected to the PDU, three phase cables to customer supplied receptacles)

- The power interface modules used are the single phase units shown above.

- PDUs used have:

• 4 wire, IEC 309 60A connector, qty. 2 needed. (power option #004)
• 5 wire, IEC309 32A connector, qty. 2 needed. (power option #005)
  
  
• Three Phase only (three phase cords that connect directly to customer provided receptacles)
  • 4 wire version utilizes NEMA L15-30R connectors: (power option #002)

• 5 wire version utilizes IEC309 16A 5 pin connectors: (power option #003)

- A total of 4 cords are necessary to power the 12 power supplies in the Superdome Enclosure.

Below is a photo of the rear of a Superdome Enclosure with the three phase power interface modules installed:

All these options are offered for HPE Superdome X.

All PDUs supported in the HPE Superdome X are half depth such that two can fit in 1U (one in the front and one in the back). Many of the PDUs are offered in both 1U (horizontally mounted) and 0U (side-mounted) options. The three phase PDU's for the Superdome Enclosure are AF511A or AF518A.

Specifying power option #007 in conjunction with any of the others (#001 - #006) routes the power cords to exit the top of the rack rather than the bottom.

BL920s Gen9 Server Blade Processors

HPE Superdome X BL920s Gen9 supported processor matrix

BL920s Gen8 Server Blade Processors

HPE Superdome X BL920s Gen8 supported processor matrix

Processor Mixing Support

HPE Superdome X governing rules for mixing processors are as follows:

• No mixing of processor types within a nPartition
• No support for processors running at different frequencies or different cache sizes within the same nPartition
• Processor modules on a blade must be the same revision, frequency, & cache size
• Mixing of processors with different frequencies and/or cache sizes will be NOT allowed within a nPartition
• You can mix blades of different processor frequencies, cache sizes and generations within a single enclosure provided each different processor type is in separate nPartitions per the rules listed above.

HPE Superdome X Memory Support

HPE Superdome X use the Intel® Scalable Memory Buffer chip to translate between the Scalable Memory Interconnect 2 (SMI2 or VMSE) technology on the memory controller and the DDR3 DIMMs.

The following DIMMs are supported on BL920s Gen9 blades:

• 16GB DDR4-2133 CAS-15-15-15 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v3)
• 32GB DDR4-2133 CAS-15-15-15 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v3)
• 32GB DDR4-2400 CAS-17 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v4)
• 64GB DDR4-2400 CAS-17 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v3, v4)
• 128GB DDR4-2400 CAS-17 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v4)
  
  

The following DIMMs are supported on BL920s Gen8 blades:

• 16GB PC3-12800R (DDR3-1600) Registered CAS-11 DIMMs for BL920s Gen8
• 32GB PC3-14900R (DDR3-1866) Registered CAS-13 DIMMs for BL920s Gen8

Only DIMMs that Hewlett Packard Enterprise has qualified on BL920s Server Blades are supported.

The BL920s Server Blade supports 48 DIMMs and eight Intel® Scalable Memory Buffer chips. This equates to twelve DIMMs and two Scalable Memory Buffer chips per memory controller (two memory controllers per processor).

General memory configuration rules:

• For best performance, the amount of memory on each blade within the partition should be the same.
• Use the same amount of memory on each processor module within a partition.
• Use fewer DIMM populations of larger DIMM sizes to get the best performance where possible (use 16x 32GB DIMMs instead of 32x 16GB DIMMs if you need 512 GB of memory per Blade)

HPE Superdome X DIMM loading rules and numbering (top-down view of blade)

The DIMMs must be loaded in groups of 16 on the Blade, and must be loaded in the following order: A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F

BL920s Server Blade DIMM Arrangement

NOTE: Per the commonality guidelines, the first DIMMs to be loaded will have white DIMM connector latches loaded on the blade. Therefore, "A" and "B" connector latches will be white. Connectors in slot positions "C", "D", "E" and "F" will have black latches.

The following table shows the supported configurations as shipped from the factory
NOTE: Mixing DIMM sizes within the same blade is not supported.

NOTE: For the BL920s Gen8 blade, the 16GB DIMMs are only supported with 16 DIMMs (min/max) per BL920s Gen8 Server Blade.

• Other HPE Fibre Channel storage devices are supported for boot and SAN connectivity. For details, see the HPE SPOCK website.

NOTE: For FC, a SAN Switch is required

Each partition (nPar) requires dedicated boot path(s)

• One dedicated FC HBA per partition
• FC: 710608-B21 - HPE QMH2672 16Gb FC HBA
• Two dedicated FC HBAs for Serviceguard
• Dual port HBAs may utilize "second" port for data access
  
  

Up to 8 partitions per enclosure

• Minimum partition size = one blade
  
  

Superdome X supports PXE boot for network disks

• Can use any of the supported Superdome X 20GbE and 10GbE FlexLOMs or mezzanine cards

Local Boot direct attach FC

NOTE: Information pertains to boot requirements only.

Superdome X Chassis

One MSA 2050 SAN can support boot to all partitions

• Use the Explicit Mapping feature of the array to assign boot disks
  
  

One MSA 2050 array can support up to two (2) dual port array controllers

• Each controller supports up to four (4) 8/16GB FC links
  
  

Considerations for local boot

• Minimum configuration: one controller

- One controller supports boot to all partitions but lacks controller redundancy or online f/w upgrading

• Optimal configuration: two controllers

- Configure redundant boot paths to separate controllers

- Controller firmware may be independently upgraded without taking down the server partitions

Boot From "Local" SAN

NOTE: Information pertains to boot requirement only.

SAN provides essentially unlimited LUNs

Considerations for SAN boot

• Two hops or less strongly recommended
• Redundant paths to SAN/storage recommended for all partitions
• Allows online updates of switch and array firmware
• No factory installation of operating environment

Platform and Partition Management

The HPE Superdome X delivers partition administration and control and platform management both in easy-to-use graphical management tools and also in a comprehensive and concise command-line interface.

The Onboard Administrator in Superdome X is a unique OA option specific to the Superdome Enclosure. It is based on HPE BladeSystem OA, but adds more memory, more firmware control, and tools designed for platforms using the Superdome Enclosures. The benefit of reusing the OA is reduced administration costs along with improved platform and partition management, all within a familiar graphical user interface (GUI) or command line interface (CLI).

The HPE Superdome X has a built-in and always available platform and partition management system. By integrating the management into the server platform, Hewlett Packard Enterprise ensures that every Superdome X comes with the full set of management features, and simplifies the task of integrating Superdome X into the data center. The purpose of the HPE Superdome X 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 partitions (create, modify, inventory, start, stop, connect console, and so on)
  
  

The HPE Superdome X manageability system provides a user-friendly experience, and the OA makes managing the HPE Superdome X much easier by centralizing the control and building the management into the hardware and firmware of the system. It provides the following features:

• Intuitive GUI interface makes it easier for system administrators to navigate the intricacies of the HPE Superdome X management. GUI status displays update automatically when system status changes (dynamic Web technology).
• CLI for easy scripting and power user convenience
• Console for each nPartition, simultaneously available from OA GUI or CLI.
• Sharable enclosure DVD or remotely connected iLO virtual media can be used to attach a DVD-ROM to nPartitions.
• OA controlled power management features across the Superdome X HPE nPartitions
• 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 X OA integrates with Insight Remote Support for data center wide fault management visibility and tie-in to the HPE support services.

Onboard Firmware Manager

This functionality can scan a partition and report components with incompatible firmware versions. Single nPars, or the entire Superdome X, with mismatched firmware due to parts replacements or system upgrades, can have firmware updated to a consistent level with just a click of a button, and the partitions with consistent firmware levels fully validated for the most reliable operation.

Onboard Partition Manager

The Onboard Partition Manager is a set of commands built into the OA
to manage partitions. With these tools, partitions can be built and configured to meet changing workloads as necessary.

There are three main aspects of partition management:

1. Partition configuration and re-configuration
2. Partition start/stop
3. Management of the OS running on the partition

The Onboard Partition Manager focuses on the first two aspects, partition configuration and partition start/stop. The core of partition management functionality now resides on the built-in Onboard Administrator.

The new OA-based partition management architecture supports an nPar management model that is implemented entirely in firmware. There are no dependencies on software tools, no need for an external management station or a special "hypervisor" to build your desired partition configuration. The result is faster, easier, partition configuration and partition start/stop. Both graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface (CLI) are supported on the OA to manage partitions.

The HPE Superdome X can utilize "ParSpecs" which are a way to save, create, and build partitions from resource definitions. ParSpec definitions allow you to have overlapping resources as long as the partitions booted don't all claim the same resources at the same time. One way to use ParSpecs is to create one set for "end of month" jobs, and another set for "daily work". ParSpec commands are built into the OA CLI at first release.
