Universal builds for IntelliFlex Release 2.0 allow for Hybrid SSD configurations, Read-Intensive-only, and Write-Intensive-only configurations.

Systems can contain single or multiple cliques. Each cabinet may include any of the following, depending on the customer's system configuration and cabinet power types:
  • Advanced SQL Engine nodes:
    • Up to 7 Advanced SQL Engine nodes for Power A
    • Up to 16 Advanced SQL Engine nodes for Power BCD
  • SSD arrays:
    • Up to 7 SSD arrays for Power A
    • Up to 12 SSD arrays for Power BCD
  • PE nodes:
    • Up to 7 PE nodes for Power A
    • Up to 20 PE nodes for Power BCD
  • VMSs
    • VMS 3.0 (R1208WF): Both of type VMS (no specific designation). Two are required.
    • VMS 2.0 (R1208WT): System VMS and Cabinet VMS. A System VMS is required. A Cabinet VMS is added for redundancy.
  • One rackmount KMM
  • Two 36-port EDR first-tier InfiniBand switches (optional in expansion cabinets)
  • Two 36-port EDR second-tier InfiniBand switches (optional in expansion cabinets)
  • Up to 14 TMS, channel server, SWS, or SAS worker nodes

Build Rules

Components must be installed in a certain order, with maximum numbers of each limited by the power type used in the system.

  1. Install SSD arrays from the bottom of the cabinet up, in the following order:
    Chassis in U spaces 2-7 All Power Types
    Chassis in U spaces 8-9 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U spaces 35-42 All Power Types
    Chassis in U spaces 10-13 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U spaces 31-34 Power Types BCD

    If you are updating an existing system, you may need to move a node or TMS to place the new storage array in the correct position.

  2. Install Advanced SQL Engine nodes from the bottom of the cabinet up, after installing the storage arrays, in the following order:
    Chassis in U spaces 14-17 All Power Types
    Chassis in U spaces 18-19 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U spaces 25-27 All Power Types
    Chassis in U spaces 28-30 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 10 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 12 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 31 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 33 Power Types BCD

    If you are updating an existing installation, you may need to move a PE node or TMS to place the new Advanced SQL Engine node in the correct position.

  3. Install PE nodes from the bottom of the cabinet up, after installing the storage arrays and Advanced SQL Engine nodes, in the following order:
    Chassis in U space 2 All Power Types
    Chassis in U space 4 Power Type A
    Chassis in U space 6 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 8 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 10 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 12 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U spaces 14-17 All Power Types
    Chassis in U spaces 18-19 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U spaces 25-27 All Power Types
    Chassis in U spaces 28-31 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 33 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 35 All Power Types
    Chassis in U space 37 All Power Types

    If you are updating an existing installation, you may need to move a TMS to place the new PE node in the correct position.

  4. Install TMSs, SWS, SAS worker nodes, or channel servers from the bottom of the cabinet up, after installing the storage arrays and all nodes, in the following order:
    1. Consolidated TMS

      Install in ascending order, by feature number

    2. Standard TMS

      Install in ascending order, by feature number

    3. SWS
    4. SAS worker node
    5. Channel server
    Chassis in U spaces 2-3 All Power Types
    Chassis in U spaces 4-5 Power Type A
    Chassis in U space 8-13

    The bottom of the chassis must be in the even U position

    Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 14-17

    The bottom of the chassis must be in the even U position

    All Power Types
    Chassis in U space 18-19 Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 25-28

    The bottom of the chassis must be in the odd U position

    All Power Types
    Chassis in U space 29-34

    The bottom of the chassis must be in the odd U position

    Power Types BCD
    Chassis in U space 35-38

    The bottom of the chassis must be in the odd U position

    All Power Types

    If you are updating an existing installation, reinstall any TMSs that were removed so that all components are located in the correct positions.

  5. Install all remaining components from the bottom of the cabinet up, for all power types, in the following order:
    Primary Server Management Switch, 48 Port 1 GbE U space 1, fixed
    VMS 3.0 (R1208WF), VMS 2.0 System VMS (R1208WT) U space 20, if present
    KMM (optional) U space 21, if present
    InfiniBand Switch, 36-port EDR, first-tier (optional in expansion cabinets) U spaces 22 and 24, if present
    InfiniBand Switch, 36-port EDR, second-tier (optional in expansion cabinets) U spaces 20 and 21, if present
    VMS 3.0 (R1208WF), VMS 2.0 Cabinet VMS (R1208WT) (optional) U space 23, if present
    Secondary Server Management Switch, 48-Port 1 GbE Attic space, fixed

Example Builds: IntelliFlex 2.0 Using Dell Nodes Only

Placement of chassis must follow the install build rules without exception in order to adhere to power constraints for the respective power types.
