Ok show me something really cool that I’ll LOVE in Hardware Summary compared to Sizer 2.1?
Click on the “I” and you get the model details and so you DO NOT HAVE to go to MANUAL just to see the model bom !!! Ok maybe I’m a nerd but I love it ?
What do the letters in the SSD drive indicate?
The letters indicate different levels of endurance in terms of Drive Writes per Day (DWPD). For example, 3DWPD means you can rewrite all the data on the drive 3 times a day for its entire life that it is warranted for.
Do we support hybrid on non Nutanix models?
Definitely, we support all flash as well as hybrid on all vendors including Lenovo, HPE, Cisco,Dell XC, Dell PE among others..
The Hardware Compatability List [HCL] mentions the hybrid and all flash combinations supported for the different vendors.
Is Sizer aligned with Hardware Compatability List(HCL) for hardware configurations ?
Yes, Sizer, at all times is in sync with HCL on the valid configurtions for across all HW vendors. At times, certain rules that Sizer implements is mentioned as a note in HCL , so it is advisable to go through the HCL notes to avoid confusion.
For ex: In Sizer, for HPE DL380 Gen10 14LFF, using SFF SSD will show invalid configuration unless used in the rear of the server. The same is mentioned in the HPE HCL as a note in the SSD configuration section. Therefore, faced with any such situation where Sizer shows as invalid configuration, it is advisable to look through HCL notes for clarification.
