What is the rack unit height of a FlashArray//XR2/3?
The FlashArray//XR2 and //XR3 models each occupy 3 rack units (RU) in height. This is specified in the FlashArray//XR2 and //XR3 Site Planning Guide, which outlines the physical requirements for rack space, clearance, and weight for these models.
Which PCIe slot supports 4-port FC cards on FlashArray//XL?
On FlashArray//XL, the PCIe slot 8 supports installation of 4-port Fibre Channel cards, allowing higher port density for SAN connectivity.
A customer has purchased a FlashArray//XL. What power cables are required in order to connect this array to rack PDUs?
FlashArray//XL arrays require four power cables with C19 (receptacle) to C20 (plug) connectors to connect properly to rack PDUs, supporting redundant power supplies and higher power demands.
An Implementation Engineer is planning to add a DirectFlash Shelf to a FlashArray//XL with an existing DirectFlash Shelf. Which PCIe slot must be used for shelf connectivity?
When adding a second DirectFlash Shelf to a FlashArray//XL, PCIe slot 6 is used to connect the additional shelf, complementing slot 0 used by the first shelf.
A customer has ordered several FlashArrays and wants to have ActiveCluster configured. What is the maximum quantity of arrays supported with ActiveCluster?
FlashArray ActiveCluster is designed for synchronous replication between two FlashArray systems, enabling active-active configurations across two sites. This setup allows both arrays to serve I/O simultaneously, providing high availability and zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective). Each array in the ActiveCluster configuration maintains identical volume identities, ensuring seamless access for hosts regardless of the array they connect to. The configuration supports metro-area clustering, with a maximum round-trip latency of 11 milliseconds between arrays. Additionally, the Pure1 Cloud Mediator or an on-premises mediator is utilized to manage failover and prevent split-brain scenarios, eliminating the need for a third site or external gateway.
While ActiveCluster supports a two-site configuration, it does not support additional arrays within the same synchronous setup. For scenarios requiring protection across more than two sites, asynchronous replication solutions like ActiveDR can be employed. ActiveDR allows for asynchronous replication to a third site, providing broader disaster recovery capabilities.
Therefore, the maximum number of arrays supported in a single ActiveCluster configuration is two.
