Qumulo Dynamic Scale: Mixed Node Compatibility

IN THIS ARTICLE

Outlines which nodes are compatible with each other for mixed-node environments, allowing expansions through hardware lifecycle changes

REQUIREMENTS

• An existing Qumulo cluster
• A version of Qumulo Core that supports the desired mix of node models

DETAILS

While any Qumulo deployment can be expanded by adding more nodes of the same type to it, mixed-node environments allow you to scale by adding nodes of a different type, which can be useful when a particular node is no longer available or a newer one has been released. Qumulo clusters can be expanded with different node types within the same license class. Refer to Add a Node to an Existing Qumulo Cluster for details on adding a node to your existing cluster.

The tables below outline expansion options and the version of Qumulo Core necessary to enable these expansions. If your node type is not shown, it is likely to be included in a future release, at which point the tables will be updated.
NOTE: While these compatibility tables are generally useful for expansions of existing clusters, it is also possible to form a new cluster with a mix of compatible nodes.

NOTE: It is always best to plan these expansions with your Qumulo account team so that we can provide the best experience for your storage needs.

RESOLUTION

You should now be able to identify which nodes are compatible with each other for mixed-node environments
