I kēia lā, aia mākou ma kā mākou papaʻaina i kahi kikowaena hou o Cisco UCS C240.
He aha ka mea e hoihoi ai kēia kikowaena Cisco no ka unboxing, no ka mea, ke alo nei mākou i kona hanauna ʻelima?
ʻO ka mea mua, kākoʻo nā kikowaena Cisco i ka hanauna hou loa o nā kaʻina hana Intel Scalable lua. ʻO ka lua, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokomo i nā modula Optane Memory e hoʻohana i nā drive NVMe he nui.
Kū mai nā nīnau kūpono: ʻaʻole anei e hana nā kikowaena mai nā mea kūʻai aku i kēia? He aha ka mea nui, ʻoiai he kikowaena x86 wale nō? ʻO nā mea mua.
Ma kahi o nā hana o kahi kikowaena kū hoʻokahi, hiki i ka Cisco C240 M5 ke lilo i ʻāpana o ka Cisco UCS architecture. Eia mākou e kamaʻilio nei e pili ana i ka pili ʻana iā FI a me ka hoʻokele piha ʻana i nā kikowaena me ka UCS Manager, me ka Auto Deploy.
No laila, loaʻa iā mākou kahi kikowaena Cisco "hao", ʻo ka lima o ka hanauna, ʻoi aku ma mua o 10 mau makahiki ma ka mākeke.
I kēia manawa, e hoʻi mākou i nā kumu, e hoʻomanaʻo i nā ʻāpana o ke kikowaena, a he aha ka Cisco C240 M5 ʻaʻole wale i kēia manawa, akā holomua maoli.
E nānā kākou i ka mea i komo i loko o ka pūʻolo.
Nā mea i loko o ka pahu: kikowaena, KVM Dongle, palapala, diski, 2 mau uwea mana, pahu hookomo.
Wehe i ka uhi. Kaomi, neʻe a ʻo ia nō. ʻAʻohe screwdrivers a i ʻole bolts nalowale.
Hoʻopili koke nā lepili ʻōmaʻomaʻo i kou maka. Loaʻa iā lākou nā mea a pau e kākoʻo ana i ka hoʻololi wela. No ka laʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke pani maʻalahi i nā mea pā me ka ʻole e hoʻopau i ka mana i ke kikowaena holoʻokoʻa.
ʻIke pū mākou i nā radiators nui, kahi i hūnā ʻia ai nā kaʻina hana Intel Scal 2 Gen hou. E hoʻomanaʻo i kēia a hiki i ka 56 cores no ka server 2U me ka ʻole o nā pilikia hoʻomaha. Kākoʻo ʻia ka hoʻomanaʻo hou aʻe, a hiki i ka 1TB no kēlā me kēia kaʻina hana. Ua hoʻonui pū ʻia ka alapine hoʻomanaʻo i kākoʻo ʻia i 2933 MHz.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka CPU ʻike mākou i nā 24 slots no RAM - hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i nā lāʻau a hiki i 128 GB a i ʻole Intel Optane memo a hiki i 512 GB no kēlā me kēia slot.
Wehe ʻo Intel Optane i ka wikiwiki o ka hana ʻana. No ka laʻana, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e like me kahi kaʻa SSD kūloko super-wikiwiki.
I kēia manawa, hoʻomaka ka nui o nā noi mai nā mea kūʻai aku me nā huaʻōlelo: "Makemake au i nā disks hou aku, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā NVMe drive i hoʻokahi ʻōnaehana."
Ma ka ʻaoʻao mua ʻike mākou i 8 2.5 ʻīniha kau no nā kaʻa. ʻO kahi koho paepae me nā 24 maʻamau mai ka ʻaoʻao mua i loaʻa no ke kauoha.
Ma muli o ka hoʻololi ʻana, hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia a hiki i ka 8 NMVe drive i ka U.2 form factor i nā kau mua.
Ua kaulana loa ka platform C240 me nā mea kūʻai aku ʻikepili nui. ʻO kā lākou noi nui ʻo ka hiki ke loaʻa i nā drive no ka boot kūloko a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pluggable wela.
I ka pane ʻana i kēia noi, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Cisco e hoʻohui i ʻelua mau māka no nā disks wela-swappable ma hope o ke kikowaena i ka C240 M5.
Aia lākou ma ka ʻākau o nā puka hoʻonui no nā lako mana. Hiki i nā drive ke ʻano: SAS, SATA, SSD, NVMe.
Ma kahi kokoke e ʻike mākou i nā lako mana 1600W. He Hot Pluggable lākou a hele mai me nā hōʻailona ʻōmaʻomaʻo.
No ka hana pū ʻana me ka subsystem disk, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokomo i kahi mea hoʻoponopono RAID mai LSI me 2 GB o ka cache, a i ʻole kahi kāleka HBA no ka hoʻouna pololei ʻana, i loko o kahi pahu hoʻolaʻa.
No ka laʻana, hoʻohana ʻia kēia ala i ke kūkulu ʻana i ka hopena hyperconverged Cisco HyperFlex.
Aia kekahi ʻano mea kūʻai aku ʻaʻole pono i nā disks. ʻAʻole lākou makemake e kau i kahi mea hoʻokele RAID holoʻokoʻa ma lalo o ka hypervisor, akā makemake lākou i ka hihia 2U ma ke ʻano o ka maʻalahi o ka lawelawe.
Loaʻa iā Cisco kahi hopena no lākou.
Ke hoʻolauna nei i ka modul FlexFlash:
ʻElua kāleka SD, a hiki i 128 GB, me ke kākoʻo mirroring, no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kahi hypervisor, no ka laʻana, VMware ESXi. ʻO kēia ke koho a mākou ma ITGLOBAL.COM e hoʻohana ai i ke kūkulu ʻana i kā mākou mau pūnaewele a puni ka honua.
No kēlā poʻe mea kūʻai aku e koi ana i ka nui o ka manawa e hoʻouka ai i ka OS, aia kahi koho module no ʻelua "satash" SSD drive ma M.2 format, me ka mana o 240 a i ʻole 960 GB i kēlā me kēia. ʻO ka mea paʻamau ka polokalamu RAID.
No ka 240 GB drive, aia ke koho o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka Cisco Boot optimized M.2 Raid controller - kahi mea hoʻokele RAID lako ʻokoʻa no kēia mau drive SSD ʻelua.
Kākoʻo ʻia kēia mau mea e nā ʻōnaehana hana āpau: VMware a me Windows, a me nā ʻōnaehana hana Linux like ʻole.
ʻO ka helu o nā slot PCI he 6, he mea maʻamau no kahi kahua 2U.
Nui ka hakahaka o loko. He mea maʻalahi ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ʻelua mau mea holo kiʻi holoʻokoʻa piha mai NVidia i nā kikowaena, no ka laʻana, TESLA M10 i nā papahana e hoʻokō i nā desktop virtual a i ʻole ka paʻi hou loa o V100 ma 32GB no nā hana naʻauao. E hoʻohana mākou i ka unboxing e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ke kūlana me nā awa penei:
- awa console;
- Gigabit i hoʻolaʻa i ke awa hoʻokele;
- ʻElua mau awa USB 3.0;
- Kāleka pūnaewele 2-port Intel x550 10Gb BASE-T;
- Kāleka mLOM koho, Cisco Vic 1387 lua-puka 40 GB adapter.
Hiki i ka mLOM slot ke hoʻokomo i nā kāleka Cisco VIC wale nō, i kūpono no ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā kaʻa LAN a me SAN. I ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi kikowaena ma ke ʻano o ka lole Cisco UCS, hiki i kēia ala ke hoʻonohonoho i nā pilina i nā pūnaewele LAN a me SAN ma ke ʻano hui pū me ka ʻole o ka pono e hoʻohana i kahi adapter fc kaʻawale.
E hoʻokomo i ka Nvidia V100 wikiō accelerator. Wehe mākou i ka lua o ka riser, wehe i ka plug, hoʻokomo i ke kāleka i loko o ka slot PCI, pani i ka plastic a laila ka plug. Hoʻohui mākou i ka mana hou. ʻO ka mua i ke kāleka, a laila i ka riser. Hoʻokomo mākou i ka riser ma kahi. Ma keʻano laulā, hele nā mea āpau me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i nā screwdrivers a me nā hama. wikiwiki a maopopo.
Ma kekahi o kēia mau mea e hōʻike mākou i kona hoʻokomo mua ʻana.
Mākaukau pū mākou e pane i nā nīnau a pau a i ʻole ma nā ʻōlelo.
