Published maxima describe specific test conditions. Application results depend on the drive population and RAID layout as well as block size, read/write mix and host connections.

FlashSystem 5010 drive choices and capacity

FlashSystem 5010 storage media
Drive classSupported source context
SFF SAS flash800 GB to 30 TB in the published parts list
SFF SAS HDD900 GB to 2.4 TB enterprise disks; 2 TB nearline
LFF / SFF2H2 has 12 LFF bays; 2H4 has 24 SFF bays

Raw capacity is the installed media total before RAID and reserves. Usable capacity is what remains for data; effective capacity also assumes compression or other data reduction.

FlashSystem 5010 configuration limits and source differences

  • This is SAS storage. An NVMe FlashCore Module is not a replacement for its SAS drive.
  • The 720 TB raw SSD figure is a catalog maximum, before RAID and spare capacity.

Power and enclosure

The source specifies a 2U 19-inch enclosure with 100 to 240 V AC or -48 V DC power supplies. Order power parts for the installed supply type.

FlashSystem 5010 software and IBM i attachment

We check the installed IBM Storage Virtualize or Spectrum Virtualize level against the proposed drives and adapters. Features such as replication, encryption and snapshots depend on the model, software level and entitlements.

For IBM i, send the Power model, IBM i release and host adapter details. We check direct or switched attachment and the supported protocol in the IBM System Storage Interoperation Center before finalizing the configuration.

FlashSystem 5010 data services and availability

  • Dual node canisters, each with a two-core processor. Match the installed software and licensed data services to the proposed hardware.

Room and upgrade requirements for FlashSystem 5010

  1. Identify the installation. Send the complete machine type, serial number and installed software level.
  2. Record capacity and workload. Include installed drive types, RAID layout and current usable space with peak IOPS and latency.
  3. Check rack and power. Record rail depth, service clearance and the existing outlet and PDU connections; include every expansion shelf.
  4. Plan attachment and migration. Include host adapters, switch models and optics with the available migration window.
