Hooikanon Storage Details

The hooikanons consist of 3 Grid dCache storage units and 1 local (stoomboot) dCache storage unit.

Each server has 2 drives in RAID1. Attached to each server is a storage array with 60 drives/device. These are set up with 4 LUNs in RAID6.

Servers

IBM POWER SYSTEM LC922 (16-CORE 2.9GHZ POWER9)

  • Mellanox MCX415A-CCAT ConnectX-4 EN 100GbE single-port QSFP28 PCIe3.0 x16 LP
  • 2-Socket 2U 12 LFF/SFF 4 NVMe Direct Attach Fab Assembly
  • 2 TB 3.5-inch 7200 RPM SAS 12Gb/s HDD 512e NONSED WrtCache
  • Broadcom (LSI) 9305-16E SAS-3 HBA PCIe3.0 x8 LP
  • 16 GB DDR4 memory
  • 16-core 2.9 GHz POWER9 Processor

Storage Arrays

NetApp E5700A

  • E5700A, 64GB Cntrlr, No HIC, 16Gb FC, 2-pt
  • Controller: 2x 16Gb/10GbE optical onboard ports.
  • HIC, E5700/EF570,12Gb SAS,4-ports

Controllers

NTP

The controllers log events, but as their clocks can drift out of sync with the server it can be difficult to correlate the logs with other events. It is best to set up NTP.

The configuration is found here: https://ndpfgit.nikhef.nl/ndpf/flight-rules/-/blob/master/flight-rules/hooikanon-controller-ntp-setup.md
