Can HPE Simplivity be connected to a NVMe-based all-flash high-performance storage
Hello,
We are thinking of acquiring a hyperconvergence solution, knowing that hyperconvergence solutions often lack a high performance when we talk about data bades, we would like to know if it is possible to connect a high performance storage type all-flash based on NVMe a thru Fiber channel switch?

Re: Can HPE Simplivity be connected to a NVMe-based all-flash high-performance storage
Hello, I don't think so.
It's easy to share some SimpliVity Storage to a Standard ESXi host "compute node" but as I know you can't serve external storage to a SimpliVity ESXi node. You can google for : "HPE OmniStack 4.1.0 for vSphere Administration Guide..pdf" if using VMWARE.
Regards,
Jean-Philippe

Hi,
No, as far as i know external connectivity enhancement options introduced for backup only:
-HPE Cloud Volumes Backup support
-HPE StoreOnce integration enhancements
SimpliVity solution uses/utilizes local storage only.
You can choose all flash model based on your requirement.

Re: Can HPE Simplivity be connected to a NVMe-based all-flash high-performance storage
While you can get All-Flash models of SimpliVity servers (are there even models with HDDs available??), you've got to know that they base on SATA SSDs. In case of the DL 380 G10 with the accelerator card (can't speak for the newer models withouth the card) these are even just cheap Micron Evo SSDs. So in no way a comparison to a high performance NVMe storage.
Now while you sure could fit a FC card into the server and mount the datastore from the storage (besides the SimpliVity datastore), you of course wouldn't be able to use any SV magic on this datastore (dedup, SV snapshots etc.) and you would be running an unsupported system.
To be honest (and sorry, HPE): go the native way and build supported servers with local NVMes running on vSAN.

Re: Can HPE Simplivity be connected to a NVMe-based all-flash high-performance storage
Hi,
HPE SimpliVity 380 H uses a hybrid storage configuration containing one kit of SSDs and one kit of HDDs
Please refer the quickspecs for more information -
