Simplivity different storage sizes on a single federation

[simonsimon1129]

a. 2 nodes same cpu and same storage eg. 1tb x8

b. 2 nodes same cpu and same storage eg. 500x8

can be deployed under one federation ?

Thank you so much in advance

Hello @simonsimon1129 

Thank you for using HPE Simplivity Forum. 

Are you planning to put them all under the same cluster? I would think it's fine for them to be on the same federation but I would group the nodes with similar hardware in separate clusters.

Hello gustenar

yes under one federation all nodes, and seperate cluster.
Thank you.

You should be fine. Make sure the hosts are compatible with the software version you plan on installing.

 hi, so it is possible in the same federation, nodes with different characteristics, for example 2 small nodes and 2 medium nodes, but in different cluster?

regards

Yes. You need to keep like hardware in same cluster as stated before and you need to run the same verision of SimpliVity in a cluster. You can have a mixed Federation but not a mixed cluster.
