Starting system state
ESS 5000 comes from
manufacturing CSC tested with the latest GA code. All hardware is validated as ‘clean’ before it
leaves CSC. CSC cleans up the system (tear down the file system, cluster, SSH keys, and so on), and
perform an SSR test (essutils simulation) before shipping.
The system can be ordered racked or rackless. The racked system configuration is as follows:
ESS 5000 management
server (EMS) (5105-22E)
Two or more ESS 5000 (5105-22E) protocol nodes (optional)
One or more ESS 5000 building blocks (5105-22E)
Building block consists of two ESS 5000 I/O server nodes and one or more
storage enclosures.
Solution offerings are SC (Model 106) and SL (Model 092) series
1 Gb management switch (required) – preconfigured with the proper VLANs
High-speed switch (100 Gb Ethernet or 100 Gb InfiniBand) – The customer may choose to use own supported switch and not purchase from IBM.
Ethernet cables run
