NETWORKING OPTIONS NETWORK CONFIGURATION QTY TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 25/10Gb Dual Port 1 Mellanox MCX4121A-ACAT SFP28 PCIe Card Adapter 25/10Gb Dual Port 1 Mellanox MCX4421A-ACQN SFP28 OCP PCIe Card Adapter BOOT AND METADATA STORAGE Boot devices house the operating system (OS) and core Commvault HyperScale binaries, while the metadata storage provides caching areas for such operations as deduplication, indexing, and extents. BOOT/METADATA CONFIGURATION Separate Boot/Metadata Boot Storage Metadata Storage TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 2x Micron 5200 Max 480GB SATA SSD - RAID1 1x Micron 9200 PRO 6.4TB U.2 2.5 DATA STORAGE OPTIONS Data storage houses the data footprint for the customer environment. Data storage configuration directly impacts the amount of data that each node in the solution is able to store. When deploying HDPS HyperScale powered by Commvault, choose identical node configuration, including hard disk drives (HDDs) density and quantity, within the block of nodes. If the nodes in a block have different HDD sizes, the lowest size will be chosen for the data storage, which would lead to wasted resources on nodes with larger HDDs. Separate node blocks in the same grid may use different HDDs (e.g. mixing a 3-node 6TB block with a second 3-node 10TB block in the same grid). Overall sizing and retention varies per customer and therefore is beyond the scope of this document. Please refer to Commvault HyperScale software sizing documentation to determine the drive size (and node quantity) required for the specific deployment. DATA STORAGE CONFIGURATION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Storage Configuration – Data Storage and Storage Type 4TB, NL-SAS or SATA, 24 Drives 6TB, NL-SAS or SATA, 24 Drives 8TB, NL-SAS or SATA, 24 Drives 10TB, NL-SAS or SATA, 24 Drives 12TB, NL-SAS or SATA, 24 Drives ESG: Commvault Announces a Validated Reference Design Program for Its HyperScale Offering Organizations can build a fully modern data management solution that is customized to meet both business and IT needs. commvau.lt/2HkG9sp NOTE: Drive sizes and interfaces can change. Not all drive sizes are available from all vendors. Please view data storage options section below. OPTIONAL I/O ADD-ON CARDS The design includes all core components required for HDPS HyperScale powered by Commvault. There are instances when additional I/O connectivity is desired as part of the overall solution. Optional I/O cards for SAS and Fibre Channel connectivity are validated and included as part of the design. The quantity and type of these I/O cards are customizable, and there are multiple valid configurations possible. 3 SAS connectivity is typically used for direct tape integration, while Fibre Channel cards are used for IntelliSnap® technology operations or tape libraries. BILL OF MATERIALS This bill of materials represents the configuration being validated as part of the Commvault Validated Reference Design Program. There are four main sections of this document: core components, data storage options, metadata storage options, and optional components. CORE COMPONENTS QTY.

The drives listed for this configuration are 6Gbps SATA, but 12Gbps or NL-SAS variants of these drives can be deployed as they are also considered validated as part of this design. Currently all known variants of 6/12Gbps and NL-SAS/SATA drives are validated. 4 QTY.
