Storage Requirements

An everRun system has the following storage requirements and recommendations:

• Each physical machine must contain at least two physical disks.
• Stratus strongly recommends that your system use a storage RAID controller.
  • If the system has a single logical disk, Stratus strongly recommends that you configure the RAID controller so that logical disks presented to the host are backed by redundant physical drives.
  • Stratus strongly recommends that RAID controllers have a battery-backed write cache.
  • You must configure the RAID controller to boot off the first logical disk.

Disk drives support standard format and 512e format with sectors, as follows:

When planning your system configuration, confirm that your storage configuration meets these requirements and then return to Site and System Preparation.
