All drives in a 6800C system are HDDs.
The following configurations are supported for a coexistence 6800C 1+1 clique with HDDs:
No. of HDDs per Node | Configuration |
---|---|
168 |

Guidelines differ depending on the system that the 6800C is being added to.
For a 6800C 1+1 clique with two disk arrays, coexisting with a 6700C system, the following guidelines apply:
- One TPA node plus one hot standby node to two disk arrays (1:2 ratio)
- Up to 46 AMPs per node
- Up to 184 drives per node (no mixed drive types or sizes in each disk array)
- Up to 92 drives per array in 2 arrays

For a 6800C 1+1 clique with four disk arrays, coexisting with a 6700C system, the following guidelines apply:
- One TPA node plus one hot standby node to four disk arrays (1:4 ratio)
- Up to around 60 AMPs per node
- Up to 368 drives per node (no mixed drive types or sizes in each disk array)
- Drives per node must be a multiple of 4 or 6
- Up to 92 drives per array in 4 arrays
