FlashSystem 5035 specifications
| Specification | Model detail |
|---|---|
| Machine type and model | 2072-3N2; 2072-3N4 |
| Control enclosure | 2U |
| Internal drive positions | 12 LFF or 24 SFF SAS |
| System cache / memory | 32 / 64 GB |
| Published IOPS | Up to 1.2 million |
| Published bandwidth | Up to 12 GB/s |
| Capacity context | 550 TB per enclosure in catalog |
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 5035 drive choices and capacity
| Drive class | Supported source context |
|---|---|
| SFF SAS SSD | 800 GB through 30.72 TB |
| 10K SAS HDD | 1.2 TB; 1.8 TB; 2.4 TB |
| Nearline SAS HDD | 6 TB through 18 TB in the catalog |
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 5035 host connectivity
| Connection | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Ports | Eight optional front-end ports plus four onboard |
| Host interfaces | 10 / 25 Gb iSCSI; 16 Gb FC; 12 Gb SAS |
FlashSystem 5035 expansion and scale
| Option | Model or limit |
|---|---|
| Dedicated product page | 392 drives and 12 PB |
| Family page | 504 / 1,008 drives and 32 PB; a different scope requiring configuration confirmation |
FlashSystem 5035 configuration limits and source differences
- The dedicated page publishes 392 drives / 12 PB while the family overview gives 504 / 1,008 drives / 32 PB. These are retained as separate source contexts.
- Compression and block deduplication are 5035 capabilities in the detailed 5015 / 5035 software section. Confirm licences and installed software.
- The 550 TB enclosure figure has no raw-versus-usable label; drive population and RAID decide usable capacity.
Availability and rack fit
The source specifies redundant hot-swappable fans and power supplies, with distributed RAID 1, 5 and 6. The enclosure is 19 inches wide and 21.9 inches deep.
FlashSystem 5035 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 5035 data services and availability
- Data-reduction pools with compression and block deduplication.
- Distributed RAID 1, 5 and 6; dynamic migration and thin provisioning.
- FlashCopy and remote copy, with three-site replication described in the detailed source.
Room and upgrade requirements for FlashSystem 5035
- Identify the installation. Send the complete machine type, serial number and installed software level.
- Record capacity and workload. Include installed drive types, RAID layout and current usable space with peak IOPS and latency.
- Check rack and power. Record rail depth, service clearance and the existing outlet and PDU connections; include every expansion shelf.
- Plan attachment and migration. Include host adapters, switch models and optics with the available migration window.
