Nexenta Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for NexentaStor 3.x

Overview
Introduction
Nexenta software is typically deployed on a combination of industry-standard hardware. The combination of these hardware components, the firmware that runs on them, and the Nexenta software collectively form a "storage solution" that typically offers a more advanced feature set and dramatically lower price point than traditional storage vendors' solutions. It is important to note, however, that "not all hardware is created equal," and not all combinations of hardware components will "just work." So, Nexenta and its partners utilize a certification program to ensure that the combination of hardware and software in a Nexenta-based storage solution functions as reliably and consistently as any enterprise-class all-in-one storage product should.

Definitions
Nexenta classifies its certified storage solutions in three categories "Reference Architectures," "Certified Solutions," and "Partner Solutions." Each are defined by a specific configuration of hardware components, firmware, and Nexenta software. Each of these terms is defined below. 1. Reference Architecture: A NexentaStor Certified Solution that has been configured, built, documented, and is retained by Nexenta Engineers in Nexenta's lab facilities. This hardware is kept up to date with the latest components and firmware as they are released by the various hardware vendors that are included in the solution. Nexenta engineering will continually re-certify its software releases on these platforms. The full BOM for each Reference Architecture is listed on the Nexenta Partner web site. It is strongly recommended that Partners utilize Reference Architectures for their solutions. Page 4

Nexenta Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for NexentaStor 3.x 2. NexentaStor Certified Solution: A set of hardware components, firmware revisions, and configuration information that has been tested to ensure it is compatible with NexentaStor software. All solutions include both server and storage hardware. Any changes to solution components (e.g., using a different network card or motherboard) are considered new solutions that need separate certification efforts unless those components are listed on the HCL. If a component such as a disk is exchanged with another disk that is on the HCL then the solution is still viewed as a Certified Solution and recertification is not required.. Certified solutions are not automatically re-certified with each major NexentaStor software release. The full BOM for each Certified Solution is listed in the Nexenta Partner web site. 3. Partner Solution: Similar to a Certified Solution, a Partner Solution is a set of hardware components, firmware revisions, and configuration information that has been tested for compatibility with NexentaStor software, but it is unique to a specific Nexenta partner. Partners may invest in differentiating hardware technology that offers a competitive advantage over other Nexenta-based storage solutions, but compatibility testing with Nexenta is still critical. BOMs for Partner Solutions are considered the IP of the Partner and are therefore not published. Hardware Components: The components of which the above solutions are comprised may include--but are not limited to--the following: o o o o o o o o Chassis (server and possibly external storage) Servers Motherboards JBODs Network Interface Cards (NICs) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) HDDs/SSDs Other host-based devices (e.g., PCI-based SSDs)

Firmware: Most of the above components have BIOS or firmware that can be configured and/or updated. A specific version and configuration is identified in Page 5

Details
Where to Find Information

Certification Test Requests can be made at nexenta.com/hcl. Details of Reference Architectures and Certified Solutions are available to Nexenta partners via the Partner Portal.

Nexenta's Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) is also available on the Partner Portal (see below for details).

For questions, contact certsolprg@nexenta.com.

Solution Components

All components must be tested within a previously certified solution or reference architecture.

Disks must be certified. SATA disks, even if certified, only can be considered part of a certified solution if in a 3-way mirror, RAIDz2 or for use as mirrored syspool (OS) drives, or in non-HA configurations.

Disks with power-down options cannot be included in certified solutions. Disks in the same family that are simply a different capacity than a previously certified disk can be awarded a certification exclusion. Disks awarded an exclusion don't need to be tested to be certified, as long as the same firmware is being used as was previously tested.

iSCSI or FC arrays need to be tested as part of a certified solution.

Nexenta Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for NexentaStor 3.x

NICs in the same family with the same chipset, features and functionality, but that support different connectivity medium, can be awarded a certification exclusion. NICs awarded an exclusion do not need to be tested to be certified, as long as the same firmware is being used as was previously tested. These NIC's may require the editing of a PCI ID config file to be fully supported

Process of Solution Certification

Nexenta utilizes Nexenta Certification Test Suite (NCTS) to certify complete configurations.

If a Partner wishes Nexenta to certify a solution, the Reseller or Technology Partner must either
o

Provide Nexenta with stable and secure remote access to equipment for testing along with a technical resource with physical access to the test equipment, or

Deliver all the necessary equipment (all hardware components of the desired solution) to Nexenta Lab and ensure a technical contact is available if questions arise concerning the solution.

If a Partner wishes to certify a new component that requires development of new drivers, the Partner must provide Nexenta with loaner equipment at Nexenta Headquarters for development and testing in one of the Reference Architectures. Once the equipment has been certified in a Reference Architecture, the component will be eligible to be certified in the Partners Partner Solution.

Note that certification efforts and driver development is time consuming and expensive. Nexenta may charge the Partner for the certification effort based on the level of resources required for testing.

Nexenta Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for NexentaStor 3.x

Solutions that are using add-on management software will need to be addressed on a per-case basis.

There are three goals during the certification process: 1. Validation of functionality 2. Performance benchmarking using common application benchmarking tools 3. Creation of a detailed "Implementation Guide" document that details how to configure the solution under test

Note: Running a full test suite can take up to two weeks as the tests include lengthy run times. The time to complete testing can be extended up to six weeks longer if an uncertified JBOD is included in the solution. Once testing is complete, chassis management for new JBODS will be included in the next dot release of NexentaStor.

Nexenta Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for NexentaStor 3.x

Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) The HCL defines which components in a Reference Architecture or Certified Solution may be altered without need for re-certification. For example, the following changes are generally permitted:

Disks of the same family and firmware but with different capacities may be substituted. Disks of different families may be substituted if they are already certified by the chassis vendor.

JBODs may be substituted if they have been certified with a common HBA or NIC.
