Storage Platform: Advanced Node Configuration Introduction The DellTM DX Object Storage Platform provides configuration of cluster-wide parameters through the web-based management console on the DX Cluster Services Node (CSN). There are additional node level configurations that are not supported - Dell DX6004S | Dell DX Object Storage Platform Advanced Storage Node Configurati - Page 5
DX Object Storage Platform: Advanced Node Configuration Sub-Cluster Overview The DX Object Storage Platform allows a single Storage Cluster to be logically split into two or more separate entities, or sub-clusters. in order to define storage distribution strategies. While the Storage Nodes in a sub- - Dell DX6004S | Dell DX Object Storage Platform Advanced Storage Node Configurati - Page 6
DX Object Storage Platform: Advanced Node Configuration Note: All configuration files contain name/value updating all SN configuration files to assign sub-cluster membership, restarting the Storage Nodes via the DX Storage Admin Console is required in order for the sub-cluster membership to take - Dell DX6004S | Dell DX Object Storage Platform Advanced Storage Node Configurati - Page 7
for the associated power costs of the additional SN. DX Object Storage automatically load balances across all Storage Nodes in the cluster in order to maximize capacity and throughput. In adaptive power savings mode, a Storage Node does not go idle as long as it is servicing incoming application or - Dell DX6004S | Dell DX Object Storage Platform Advanced Storage Node Configurati - Page 8
