Technical white paper | HP RA for Red Hat Storage Server on HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 Server

Red Hat Storage Server configuration

For testing, two 2-node HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 servers were used to host Red Hat Storage Server. In this configuration,

each HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 server contained two nodes, with each node controlling 25 disk drives for a total of four Red

Hat Storage Server nodes in the storage cluster.

Each node in the cluster was equipped with two quad-core Intel Xeon E5-2407 processors, 48GB of Dual Rank x4 PC3L-

10600R CAS-9 Low-Voltage memory, and a 10G IO Module Kit. For these tests, we utilized twenty-five 2TB 6G SAS 7.2K rpm

LFF drives per storage node with two 500GB 6G SATA 7.2K drives in each node serving as the node operating environment.

Each node within the HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 server was configured with an HP Smart Array B120i controller to manage

the two 500GB drives serving the operating environment and an HP Smart Array P420i controller used to control the

storage drives. Figure 7 illustrates the BIOS configuration of the B120i Smart Array controller.

Figure 7. BIOS for configuration of the HP Smart Array controller contained in the HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 server.

The HP Array Configuration Utility was then used to configure the 25 drives available on each node as follows (Figure 8):

• Two logical drives, each consisting of twelve 2TB SAS drives configured as an 18.2TB RAID 6 logical volume

• One unassigned drive
