Dell sc 7020 can be used as lustre ost?
Hello
We have dell sc7020. We want to utilize it as lustre storage for our hpc. Can it be done ? Is it scalable? What is difference between md3460 and sc 7020 and why dell recommends md?

Thank you for your reply. Then it can be used as Nfs? We want to integrate this storage as nas to our hpc. Also if it is used as nfs/nas will it scale without needing to reconfigure ?

Hello Amjadhpc,
An SC7020 can’t be used as luster storage. With an SC system has its own storage OS on them already when the leave the factory. Since you are going to use a 3rd party software, it is best to use a MD34xx or MD38xx system. the MD34xx & MD38xx are scalable as well.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Amjadhpc,
Your SC 7020 can’t be used as an NFS systems unless you have a FS system connected to it. The SC7020 is scalable, however what you are wanting to use it for will not work.
