UCS server Hard drive sizes

[Jason Rossi]

Hi,

The UCS release notes make reference of 1TB, 2TB, and 3TB options.

But about a year ago I bought some CPS-HD4T7KS3-E 4TB drives from Cisco, and quite happy with all that space.

Anyone know if in the interim there have been addition options added, like 5TB drives? I have combed all the VSM and UCS release notes, but I can't even find reference to 4TB drives let alone anything beyond that (if there is even an option beyond that).

using Bare metal it support upto 4 TB of each HDD This is supported VSM 7.6 and higher . 5 TB as such not being seen any deployment because of sub parititions issue. VSM 7.8 is in the pipe line may be get released soon. hope to see some good news with some additional features in terms of Hardware and software both.

Servers can be purchased with 1, 2, or 3 terebyte (TB) drives. Servers with Release 7.6 or higher also support 4TB drives

Understood thanks!

Nadeem,

7.8 is released it seems, with a lot of good features. What is the max HD size in 7.8? I didn't see any reference in the release notes. One blurb in the co-located server section of 7.8 mentions 6TB but maybe is a typo?

Thanks, just to clarify, does the 6TB work with CPS-UCS-2RU-K9? Or only with CPS-UCSM4-2RU-K9?

[Nadeem Ahmed]

its works with CPS-UCSM4-2RU-K9
