Please join us to explore Cisco's current Hyper-Converged infrastructure session; including Cisco’s HyperFlex System and UCS vSAN ReadyNodes. IT customers face a formidable challenge – delivering a seamless experience to developers and application owners who demand the best of both worlds between on-prem and public cloud. The multi-cloud era is a hard reality for IT, and this is where our HyperFlex and vSAN ReadyNode customers stand to gain the most from the work Cisco has undertaken. We like to say that the finest cloud computing starts at home. So, as we integrate HyperFlex and vSAN ReadyNodes with Cisco’s Multicloud Portfolio, we’re moving well beyond Hyper-Convergence to create the most comprehensive multicloud platform in the industry. Our aim is nothing less than to help our customers power any app, on any cloud, at any scale.

vSAN ReadyNodes – Making It Easy for Customers

• https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=vsan

• Cisco and VMware have jointly qualified systems, guaranteeing reliability and providing an easy way to adopt HCI.


https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=vsan


Cisco UCS ReadyNodes:The most flexible HCI platform



vSAN ReadyNode BOM Components

√ •

• Switching between different generation of CPU platform is not supported e.g. Romley vs Purley.

√ • Adding more memory than what is listed is supported.

√ • Caching tier device needs to be of same or higher endurance and performance class.

• Follow Caching to Capacity ratio guidance discussed in this blog.

√ • Capacity tier device needs to be of same or higher endurance and performance class.

• Only tested, certified and listed controller configurations for that is supported.

• The firmware and driver for the controller should be an exact match as listed on the vSAN VCG.

√ • You can add more NICs if there are available slots in the server.

• NIC of similar or higher configuration allowed and supported e.g. 10G with 25G or 40G.

• The NIC needs to be IOVP (ESXi) certified.

√ • Changing boot devices is allowed. Follow guidance in this KB article.

vSAN ReadyNode Storage Component Guidance

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/52084

√ • are tested and certified with certain number of disk groups. But you can select any number of

disk groups up to 5 (maximum per node).

√ • Change in disk group configuration is allowed e.g. instead of 2 * 1.6 TB, you can choose 4 * 800 TB.

• The changed drives need to belong to same or higher performance and endurance class.

• SAS Expanders may be required to add more disk drives in a node. Only certified expanders are allowed.

• Refer to the footnote of the ReadyNode BOM to see whether an expander is certified or not.

√ • Higher capacity “caching tier” device is supported than listed in ReadyNode BOM.

√ • Higher or lower capacity of “capacity tier” device is allowed than listed in ReadyNode BOM.

• Number of capacity drives may be changed. You can add or reduce the number of drives depending on your overall

capacity needs.

• You may need to adjust the caching tier size accordingly. Please follow the guidelines here.

√ • You can add additional certified controller in each node and configure disk groups behind the controller for better

performance.

• We do not support changing protocol within e.g. you can not replace a SAS drive with NVMe or

vice versa having same endurance and performance class.

√ • Boot device and vSAN data store need to be behind separate controllers.
