What it is

HPE groups quite different use cases under data management. Scalable storage with file services over CIFS and NFS for large volumes, plus object storage and compliant archiving of business-critical data.

Archiving gained weight with the revised Swiss data protection act, and that is not a technical question: what has to be kept, and for how long, is not decided by the platform.

How it gets built

Usually as software-defined storage: HPE server systems combined with third-party software. Through the HPE Complete programme that mostly means Scality, Cohesity, iTernity and Qumulo.

What to watch

The software choice decides more than the hardware choice. Object storage, classic NAS and archiving look similar on a datasheet and behave completely differently when you need data back. The question of how quickly something has to reappear belongs at the start.

RAID controllers

If you have configured an HPE ProLiant server, you have almost certainly met a Smart Array or SmartRAID controller. Since Gen10 there is another option: the MegaRAID controllers.

Storage performance testing with vdbench

IOmeter is quick, but its data patterns do not suit a modern storage array. vdbench is the better tool, and this is how to configure it.

Storage performance testing with IOmeter

Every successful storage project ends with a storage performance test during system acceptance, checking the array, the storage area network and the hosts.

iSCSI Datastore Not Consumed

On a customer project running current vSphere 8.0 U2, some hosts recognised their iSCSI devices but reported them as “not consumed”, so the ESXi host saw no iSCSI datastores at all.
