See the Storage Center documentation for the latest version information. The following table lists the maximum sizes supported in the NAS pool and the global namespace. Note that the actual limits per Storage Center system depend on the Storage Center models, configurations, and firmware versions. Table 3. Maximum NAS Pool Size Feature Maximum Size Per Storage Center 3 PB (depends on Storage Center model) NAS pool capacity 4 PB FluidFS global namespace 20 PB NOTE: The total capacity of the NAS pool is 4 PB. The global namespace can reach 20 PB with five FluidFS clusters using redirection folders. FluidFS Models and Platforms 7 Supported Hardware Upgrades The following sections provide information about hardware upgrades. 1 GbE FC to 10 GbE FC Controller Upgrade FS8600 1 GbE FC configurations can be upgraded to 10 GbE FC by replacing the network interface cards (NICs). Contact Dell Technical Support for details about this upgrade. 24-GB and 48-GB Appliances The 48-GB FS8600 appliance supports 48-GB controllers only. The 24-GB FS8600 appliance supports 24-GB and 48-GB controllers; however, 48-GB controllers in a 24-GB appliance are limited to 24 GB. Appliance Replacement A 24-GB FS8600 appliance can be replaced with a 24-GB or 48-GB appliance. A 48-GBFS8600 appliance can be replaced with a 48-GB appliance only. NOTE: All appliances in the system must be equal in terms of client connectivity type (1 GbE or 10 GbE), storage connectivity type (FC or iSCSI), and port count. System Expansion (Adding Appliance) A 24-GB FS8600 FluidFS system can be expanded by adding either a 24-GB or 48-GB appliance. If there system includes a 48-GB FS8600 appliance, the system can be expanded by adding a 48-GB appliance only. All appliances in the system must have the same client connectivity type (1 GbE or 10 GbE), storage connectivity type (FC or iSCSI), and port count. 8 FluidFS Models and Platforms 3 Software Update Path The following table lists the supported update paths for FS8600 systems, following the release of version 6.0.110054.

NOTE: • Lower-than-maximum SMB level connections are also supported. • Setting ACL from Linux SMB clients is not supported. Supported SMB Configurations Each appliance can support a certain number of concurrent (active) SMB connections, even if one of the controllers is not available. The following table lists the supported SMB configurations. Table 10. Supported SMB Configurations Feature Maximum Value SMB share name 80 bytes1 SMB shares 1024 per volume / 1024 per system Concurrent connections 10,000 per 24-GB appliance / 30,000 per 48-GB FS8600 appliance Concurrent active connections 5000 per appliance Large MTU (up to 256 KB) connections 50 per 24-GB controller / Unlimited per 48-GB FS8600 controller Maximum file size for branch cache hash calculations 1 256 MB Share names are kept as UTF-8 characters, which might, depending on the character set used, consume multiple bytes. Therefore, the actual maximum length depends on the character set used. 14 SMB Support 8 NFS Support FluidFS version 6.x supports NFSv3, NFSv4, and NFSv4.1 protocols only. NFSv2 clients are not supported. NOTE: • Lower-than-maximum NFS level connections are also supported. • For NFSv4 clients, only Active Directory authentication is currently supported. • For NFSv4 clients, AUTH_SYS, Krb5, Krb5i, and Krb5p modes are supported. Table 11. Supported NFS Configurations Client OS Maximum per NAS Volume / System NFS exports 1024 / 1024 NFS ACLs per export 100 NFS connections (per appliance) 16,000 NFS Support 15 9 FTP Support FluidFS version 6.x supports both anonymous FTP configurations (user name=anonymous, password=email_address), and authenticated FTP configurations (with either a single landing directory, or a home-folders structure with a directory per authenticated user). Each appliance can support the following number of concurrent (active) FTP connections, even if one of the nodes or controllers is not available. Table 12. Supported FTP Configurations Feature Maximum Value Concurrent FTP connections 800 per appliance 16 FTP Support 10 User and Group Quotas The following table lists the maximum number of supported quota rules per NAS volume for each system. Table 13. Supported Quota Configurations Feature Maximum per System Quota rules 1024 Quota usage entries 100,000 Quota directories 30,000 NOTE: • Quotas for Active Directory (AD) and NIS/LDAP users are independent of each other, even if users are mapped automatically or manually. For NAS volumes with mixed security styles, separate quotas should be set for AD and NIS/ LDAP users. • For NAS volumes with NTFS or UNIX style permissions, one unique quota should be set for each user. For mapped users, the usage and limits are applied using the target identity and are shared with the native Windows or UNIX account. • In general, Dell recommends using the NTFS security style in mixed environments. User and Group Quotas 17 11 FluidFS Replication Note the following information regarding FluidFS replication: • Replication can be performed from FluidFS v5.x to FluidFS v6.x. As a best practice, replication between systems running different major versions should be performed only for short-term update scenarios and is not recommended as a normal operating state. • Replication partners can differ in network interface speeds (1 GB or 10 GB) or in memory size (24 GB or 48 GB). The following table lists replication-compatible systems, assuming they satisfy all other conditions. Table 14. Supported FluidFS Replication Features Attribute Support Maximum number of replication partners 100 Maximum number of replicated NAS volumes 1024 Maximum number of concurrent replications (rest are queued) 10 outgoing and 100 incoming Maximum replication schedules (as source) 1024 Maximum number of replication bandwidth limiter policies 100 Single NAS volume to multiple NAS volumes Up to 10 targets per source Cascading replication of a NAS volume Up to a depth of 5 FluidFS replication requires that the target-system TCP ports listed in Table 15. FluidFS Replication TCP Ports be accessible, through any firewall, from the source system. The following table lists the supported FluidFS replication TCP ports. Table 15. FluidFS Replication TCP Ports Functionality Port Numbers Partnership setup 9445 Management 10560 or 3260 (configured during partnership setup) Data 18 FluidFS Replication 12 VMware and the FluidFS VAAI Plugin The FluidFS VAAI plugin supports the following VAAI NAS Primitives and allows offloading them to the underlying FluidFS system: • Full File Clone — Offloads the creation of a virtual disk full clone • Fast File Clone (Native Snapshot) — Offloads the creation of virtual machine snapshots • Extended Statistics — Enables visibility into space usage on FluidFS datastores The FluidFS VAAI plugin supports ESXi versions 6 and 6.5 (NFS3 only).

Events FluidFS can store up to 10 million system and SACL events. The actual amount depends on the amount of storage space configured by the administrator to hold event data. Multitenancy FluidFS v6 supports multiple tenants. The following table specifies the limits relating to multitenancy, if the feature is enabled on the system. Table 25. Multitenancy Feature Maximum Supported Number of tenants per FluidFS system 100 Local users per tenant 100 Local groups per tenant 100 VIPs per subnet per tenant 16 (but not more than 400 VIPs per system) SNMP FluidFS supports SNMP version 2c and version 3. It also provides a custom MIB for integration with SNMP-based management frameworks. The interface/MIB provides read access to the following data: • System and controller status • CPU utilization • I/O statistics • NFS statistics The maximum number of SNMP recipients per system is 10.
