Raid Controller For Hyperflex HX220 M5

[ImranMahmud876339]

Hello, we want to configure raid in one of our cisco hx220c m5 nodes, however, the default raid controller(hx-sas-m5) doesn't support the raid. Therefore, it would be very helpful if anyone could suggest to me a raid controller that will be supported by the server.

The UCS C220 M5 spec sheet at https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/c220m5-sff-specsheet.pdf will show your options, primarily (UCSC-RAID-M5) which would replace the sas-m5 in it's slot.

Please be aware, those are sold as appliances, and if you are retasking the server, you may have complications with contracts, SR routing for support, etc.

• will this raid controller work for ucs series? This one is for c series  server.

[Kirk J]

The "C" series is part of the overall UCS series.  HX220 M5 is built from a C220 M5.

I want to say, will a raid controller module for UCS C220 M5 work for a hyperflex server of the same series say, hx220c m5? thnx

[Kirk J]

Yes.

So a pid like "UCSC-RAID-M5"  that is a Cisco 12G SAS RAID Controller with 2GB FBWC will work.

This would displace the existing SAS HBA controller in there now.
