Design of disk groups on VxRail G-Series
This last section will discuss the disk group design for VxRail G-Series. Figure 5.25 shows the front view and rear view of VxRail G560/F. There are 24 disk slots on the VxRail G-Series chassis; disk slots 1 to 5, 7 to 11, 13 to 17, and 19 to 23 are used for the capacity tiers, and disk slots 0, 6, 12, and 18 are used for the cache tier. It supports the installation of four nodes into each VxRail G-Series chassis. VxRail G-Series supports hybrid and All-Flash configurations. The capacity disks only support 3.5” SAS/SATA, and the cache disks only support 2.5” SSD or NVMe:
