IBM Cloud deployment of QuantaStor SAN/NAS mass storage servers provide file and block storage suitable for a broad spectrum of workloads. IBM Cloud customers have the option of provisioning Hybrid SAN/NAS configurations that utilize SSD to accelerate write performance or All-Flash SAN/NAS configurations that offer the ultimate high-performance characteristics. IBM's Bare Metal servers give you full control over your dedicated appliance, while QuantaStor’s web-based management interface, REST APIs and QS CLI make storage provisioning and automation easy.
Contents
Key Features
- Provides File and Block storage - CIFS/NFS/SMB & iSCSI
- Compression
- Remote-replication between QuantaStor Systems across IBM data centers and on-premises locations for hybrid cloud.
- Snapshot Schedules with long term snapshot retention options.
- Easy web-based management with Storage Grid technology
- Automatable via QS CLI and REST API
- VMware certified and VMware VAAI integrated
- End-to-end Security
Reference Configurations
SAN/NAS - HYBRID SOLUTIONS
SAN/NAS - ALL-FLASH SOLUTIONS
Quick Configuration Steps
Step One: Storage Management Tab → Controllers & Enclosures → Right-click Controller → Configure Pass-thru devices → Select all → Click OK
Step Two: Storage Management Tab → Storage Pools → Click OK
For iSCSI Block Storage Provisioning:
- Storage Management Tab → Hosts → Add Host → Enter host IQN → Click OK (do this for each host)
- Storage Management Tab → Storage Volumes → Create Storage Volume → Enter volume name, select a size, → Click OK
- Storage Management Tab → Hosts → Right-click Host → [[Block_Storage_Provisioning#Assign_Volume|Assign Volumes → Select volumes → Click OK]
For NFS/SMB File Storage Provisioning:
- Storage Management Tab → Network Shares → Create Network Share → Click OK (do this for each share)
- Storage Management Tab → Network Shares → Modify Network Share & SMB Access → Adjust Settings → Click OK (do this for each share)
Multi-site Storage Management
Add additional drives to expand capacity. Additional systems may be added to a given QuantaStor Storage Grid for easy management of all systems across IBM data centers. OSNEXUS recommends provisioning 36 bay servers as expansion disk-enclosures are not available as an add-on after the initial server provisioning.
