XMS version 6.0.1. For XtremIO clusters that are managed by other versions, refer to the
appropriate XtremIO product documents which are provided for the corresponding
versions.
Overview
Overview
Note: The customer should verify that all site preparation requirements in this guide
(including, but not limited to adequate HVAC, power, floor space, security, etc.) are
completely met before the XtremIO cluster is installed, and the specified operating
environment is maintained for optimal system operation.
An EMC® XtremIO Storage Array requires a properly equipped computer room with
controlled temperature and humidity, proper airflow and ventilation, proper power and
grounding, cluster cable routing facilities, and fire equipment.
To verify that the computer room meets the requirements for XtremIO Storage Array,
confirm that:
 Any customer concerns have been addressed through planning sessions between
EMC and the customer.
 The site meets the requirements described in this document.
 The site contains LAN connections for remote service operation.
Note: It is not allowed to split an existing XtremIO cluster into multiple clusters, or to
merge multiple, existing XtremIO clusters into a single cluster. This is due to the very high
logistical overheads that are required for performing such non-standard procedures.

Rack Clearance
The EMC® rack ventilates from front to back. You must provide adequate clearance at the
rear to service and cool the XtremIO Storage Array components. Depending on
component-specific connections within the rack, the available power cord length may be
somewhat shorter than the 15-foot standard. Figure 1 shows the required clearance for
the EMC rack.

Rack Stabilizing
If you intend to secure the optional anti-tip bracket to your site floor, prepare the location
for the mounting bolts. The anti-tip bracket provides an extra measure of anti-tip security.
One or two kits may be used. For racks with components that slide, we recommend that
you use two kits.
Note: Measurements in Figure 4 are shown in inches.

Site Floor Load-Bearing Requirements

Table 1 shows the approximate floor load of each XtremIO Storage Array configuration.
Table 1 XtremIO Storage Array Cluster Weights in EMC Rack
Configuration Weight without XMS Weight with XMS
Single X-Brick cluster 644.7 lb (292.5 kg) 677.7 lb (307.4 kg)
Two X-Brick cluster 879.4 lb (399 kg) 912.4 lb (413.9 kg)
Three X-Brick cluster 1076.1 lb (488.2 kg) 1109.1 lb (503.1 kg)
Four X-Brick cluster 1272.8 lb (577.3 kg) 1305.8 lb (592.3 kg)
Note: The values shown in Table 1 are for X2-R configurations, and do not include the rack
weight. For X2-S configurations of two, three and four X-Brick weights, subtract 18.7 lb
(8.5kg). For X2-T configurations (single X-Brick), subtract 18 lb (8.16 kg).
Install the rack in raised or non-raised floor environments that are capable of supporting
at least 1,180kg (2,600 lbs.) per rack. Your system may weigh less than this, but requires
extra floor support margin to accommodate equipment upgrades and/or reconfiguration.
In a raised floor environment:
 EMC recommends 24 x 24 inch or (60 x 60 cm) heavy-duty, concrete filled steel floor
tiles.
 Use only floor tiles and stringers rated to withstand:
• Concentrated loads of two casters or leveling feet, each weighing up to 1,000 lb
(454 kg).
• Minimum static ultimate load of 3,000 lb (1,361 kg).
• Rolling loads of 1,000 lb (454 kg). On floor tiles that do not meet the 1,000 lb
rolling load rating, use coverings such a plywood to protect floors during system
roll.
 Position adjacent racks with no more than two casters or leveling feet on a single floor
tile.
Note: Cutting tiles per specifications as shown in Figure 5 on page 7 ensures the
proper caster wheel placement.

Cable Routing
EMC recommends installing the equipment into a room with a raised floor, for
accommodation of the cabling under the floor.
If you are installing the rack onto a raised floor, cut a cable-access hole in one tile as
shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 Floor Tile Cutout
Cutouts in 24 x 24 in tiles must be no more that 8 inches (20.3 cm) wide by 6 inches
(15.3 cm) deep, and centered on the tiles, 9 inches (22.9 cm) from the front and rear and
8 inches (20.3 cm) from the sides. Since cutouts will weaken the tile, you can minimize
deflection by adding pedestal mounts adjacent to the cutout. The number and placement
of additional pedestal mounts relative to a cutout must be in accordance with the floor tile
manufactures' recommendations.
When positioning the rack, take care to avoid moving a caster into a floor tile cutout.
Make sure that the combined weight of any other objects in the data center does not
compromise the structural integrity of the raised floor and/or the sub-floor (non-raised
floor).
EMC recommends that a certified data center design consultant inspect your site to
ensure that the floor is capable of supporting the system and surrounding weight. Note
that the actual rack weight depends on your specific product configuration. You can
calculate your total using the tools available at:
https://powercalculator.emc.com/Main.aspx
Casters and Leveling Feet

The EMC rack includes four caster wheels, as shown in Figure 6 on page 8. The front
wheels are fixed. The two rear casters swivel in a 1.75-inch diameter. Swivel position of
the caster wheels determine the load-bearing points on your site floor, but does not affect
the rack footprint. Once you have positioned, leveled, and stabilized the rack, the four
leveling feet determine the final load-bearing points on your site floor.

The customer is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the data center floor on which the
EMC system is to be configured is capable of supporting the system weight, whether the
system is configured directly on the data center floor, or on a raised floor supported by the
data center floor. Failure to comply with these floor-loading requirements could result in
severe damage to the EMC system, the raised floor, subfloor, site floor and the
surrounding infrastructure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement
between EMC and customer, EMC fully disclaims any and all liability for any damage or
injury resulting from customer's failure to ensure that the raised floor, subfloor and/or site
floor are capable of supporting the system weight as specified in this guide. The customer
assumes all risk and liability associated with such failure.

Power Requirements
Depending on the rack configuration and input AC power source, single or three-phase
listed in Table 2 and Table 4 on page 11, the rack requires two to eight independent power
sources. To determine your site requirements, use the published technical specifications
and device rating labels for all non-EMC equipment. This helps in providing the current
draw of the devices in each rack. The total current draw for each rack can then be
calculated. For EMC products, refer to “EMC Power Calculator” located at
http://powercalculator.emc.com/XtremIO.aspx and select the calculator for the XtremIO
hardware currently in use..

Preparing the Site for Installing the Cluster into a Non-"EMC Titan-D" Rack
Preparing the Site for Installing the Cluster into a Non-"EMC

Titan-D" Rack
When the XtremIO Storage Array is to be installed into a customer rack, the cluster is
delivered in a non-standard packaging (also known as mini-rack). The package comes in
one-size of 12U. Each mini-rack can contain one or two X-Bricks. Therefore, single and two
X-Brick clusters arrive in a single mini-rack and three and four X-Brick clusters arrive in two
mini-racks. If the customer has ordered a physical XMS, the XMS unit is added in a
separate box on top of the mini-rack, as shown in Figure 10.

If all of the requirements (described in Table 11) for a non-"EMC Titan-D" rack are not met,
and the customer wishes to continue with a non-compliant rack, an RPQ process must be
initiated.
Essential Requirements:
 The rack space requirements of the different XtremIO Storage Array configurations are
as follows:
• A single X-Brick cluster requires 5U of contiguous rack space.
• A two X-Brick cluster requires 11U of contiguous rack space.
• A three X-Brick cluster requires 16U of contiguous rack space.
• A four X-Brick cluster requires 20U contiguous rack space.
Note: An optional physical XMS may occupy the upper-most U in the rack.
 The NEMA rail mounting holes must be one of the following:

• Round, 0.281 in. diameter, non-threaded.
• Square, 0.375 in.

 AC power:
• 200-240 VAC +/- 10% single phase or three-phase 50-60 Hz, power connection.
Table 4 on page 11 shows the three-phase power connection requirements.
• Redundant power zones, one on each side of the rack. Each power zone should
have capacity for the maximum power load (refer to Table 14 on page 27).
• The provided power cables suit AC outlets located within 24 inches of each
component receptacle (this does not include the X2-R InfiniBand Switches, whose
AC inlets are located in the front panel and are therefore provided with long power
cables).
Note: If you are using longer power cables, make sure they are cables of a high
standard.

Physical XMS Requirements
Physical XMS Requirements

The system operation is controlled via a stand-alone dedicated Linux-based server, called
the XtremIO Management Server (XMS). Each XtremIO cluster requires connectivity to a
single XMS host, which can be either an EMC-supplied physical server, or a virtual server
that will be deployed on a customer-supplied server running VMware ESX. A single cluster
cannot be managed by multiple XMSs.
This section describes the XtremIO physical XMS pre-deployment requirements (when the
cluster configuration is to include a physical XMS).
Note: For XtremIO virtual XMS pre-deployment requirements, refer to “Virtual XMS
Requirements”.
Physical XMS Specifications

This section describes the physical XMS specifications, according to the physical XMS
model, when installing an (optional) physical XMS for an X2 cluster type.
The physical XMS specification is dependent on the total number of Volumes expected to
be configured on the X2 clusters connected to this physical XMS. The following physical
XMS specification alternatives are available according to the physical XMS model:
 X1 physical XMS (P/N# 100-586-008-00 and 100-586-008-01) – supports up to 8K
Volumes
 X2 physical XMS (P/N# 100-586-049-xx) – supports up to 32K Volumes
Virtual XMS Requirements

The system operation is controlled via a stand-alone dedicated Linux-based server, called
the XtremIO Management Server (XMS). Each XtremIO cluster requires connectivity to a
single XMS host, which can be either an EMC-supplied physical server, or a virtual server
that will be deployed on a customer-supplied server running VMware ESX. A single cluster
cannot be managed by multiple XMSs.
This section describes the XtremIO virtual XMS pre-deployment requirements (when the
cluster configuration is to include a virtual XMS).
Note: For XtremIO physical XMS pre-deployment requirements refer to “Physical XMS
Requirements”.

Virtual XMS Requirements
Virtual XMS Specifications

 Virtual machine configuration: To run the virtual XMS, a single virtual machine is
needed (or two if virtual XMS high-availability is required).
The configuration of this virtual machine is dependent on the total number of Volumes
expected to be configured on the clusters connected to this virtual XMS. The following
virtual XMS configuration alternatives are available:
• Regular - when the number of Volumes is expected to be up to 16K
• Expanded - when the number of Volumes is expected to be up to 32K
Table 17 shows the required virtual XMS VM configurations.
Table 17 Virtual XMS VM Configurations per the Expected Total Number of Volumes
Parameter Regular Expanded
RAM 8GB 10GB
CPU 2 X vCPU 4 X vCPU
NIC 1 X vNIC 1 X vNIC
Virtual Disk1 900GB thin 900GB thin

1. The virtual XMS VM should have a single 900GB disk (thin provisioned). 200 GB of disk
capacity is preallocated following the cluster initialization. Therefore, at least 200 GB of free
capacity should be available on the data store used to deploy the XMS.
Note: It is possible to initially configure the virtual XMS per the Regular configuration,
and at a later stage, adjust the virtual XMS to the Expanded configuration. For details
on expanding the virtual XMS configuration, refer to the XtremIO Storage Array User
Guide.
 Underlying storage: The virtual XMS VM should be provisioned on a RAID protected

storage (or VMware vSphere HCL-approved shared storage if virtual XMS
high-availability is required).
In addition, the underlying storage should supply a consistent latency of up to 8 ms.
Note: Shared storage used in this case should not originate from the XtremIO cluster
managed by the Virtual XMS.
 Network connectivity: The Virtual XMS should be located in the same Local Area
Network (LAN) as the XtremIO cluster.

Temperature Requirements
 Host: The virtual XMS VM should be deployed on a single host, running ESX 5.x or 6.x
(or more, if virtual XMS high-availability is required).
Note: XtremIO Storage Array supports both ESX and ESXi. For simplification, all
references to ESX server/host apply to both ESX and ESXi, unless stated otherwise.
The host should be on VMware vSphere HCL approved hardware and meet the
following configuration requirements:
• Single socket dual core CPU
• One 1GbE NICs
• Redundant power supply
Backing Up the Virtual XMS

Only the critical information from the XMS database is regularly saved and backed-up on
the cluster.
Other Specifications
 The OVA package from which the virtual XMS is deployed contains VMware tools.
Therefore, no VMware tools upgrade is required following virtual XMS deployment.
 The deployed virtual XMS Shares memory resource allocation is set to High. Therefore,
the virtual XMS is given high priority on memory allocation when required.
Note: In case non-standard Shares memory resource allocation is used, the virtual
XMS Shares memory resource allocation should be adjusted post-deployment.
For information pertaining to managing the virtual XMS, refer to the XtremIO Storage Array
User Guide.
Temperature Requirements
Table 18 shows the XtremIO Storage Array environmental operating range requirements.
Table 18 XtremIO Storage Array Environmental Data
Requirement Normal Environmental Conditions Improbable Environmental Conditions
Operating 5°C to 35°C 35°C to 40°C

Temperature
Duration Normal; 100% Improbable; 10% (876 hrs/yr)
Note: The environmental data shown in Table 18 complies with ASHRAE A3 standards.
Note: A cluster operating at temperatures exceeding the recommended operating range

may cause data to become unavailable. Continuous operation of a DAE at a high
temperature may lead to SSD failure.

Shipping and Storage Requirements

Table 19 shows the shipping and storage requirements for XtemIO Storage Array
equipment.
Table 19 Shipping and Storage Environmental Requirements
Condition Setting
Ambient Temperature -40oF to 149oF (-40oC to 65oC)
Temperature Gradient 43.2oF/hr (24oC/hr)
Relative Humidity 10% to 90% non-condensing
Maximum Altitude 25,000 ft (7619.7 m)
Air Quality Requirements

EMC products are designed to be consistent with the requirements of the American
Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Environmental
Standard Handbook and the most current revision of Thermal Guidelines for Data
Processing Environments, Second Edition, ASHRAE 2009b.
XtremIO Storage Array is best suited for Class 1 datacom environments, which consist of
tightly-controlled environmental parameters, including temperature, dew point, relative
humidity and air quality. These facilities house mission-critical equipment and are
typically fault-tolerant, including the air conditioners.
The data center should maintain a cleanliness level as identified in ISO 14664-1, class 8
for particulate dust and pollution control. The air entering the data center should be
filtered with a MERV 11 filter or better. The air within the data center should be
continuously filtered with a MERV 8 or better filtration system. In addition, efforts should
be maintained to prevent conductive particles, such as zinc whiskers, from entering the
facility.
For data centers with gaseous contamination, such as high sulfur content, lower
temperatures and humidity are recommended to minimize the risk of hardware corrosion
and degradation. In general, the humidity fluctuations within the data center should be
minimized. It is also recommended that the data center be positively pressured and have
air curtains on entry ways to prevent outside air contaminants and humidity from entering
the facility.
For facilities below 40% relative humidity, EMC recommends using grounding straps when
contacting the equipment to avoid the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can
harm electronic equipment.
As part of an ongoing monitoring process for the corrosiveness of the environment, it is
recommended to place copper and silver coupons (per ISA 71.04-1985, Section 6.1
Reactivity), in air streams representative of those in the data center. The monthly reactivity
rate of the coupons should be less than 300 Angstroms. When monitored reactivity rate
is exceeded, the coupon should be analyzed for material species and a corrective
mitigation process put in place.

Shock and Vibration

EMC products are tested to withstand the shock and random vibration levels. The levels
apply to all three axes, and should be measured with an accelerometer on the equipment
enclosures within the rack.
Table 20 shows the maximum shock and vibration levels:
Table 20 Maximum Shock and Vibration Levels
Platform Condition Response Measurement Level
Non operational shock 10 G, 7 ms duration
Operational shock 3 G, 11 ms duration
Non operational random vibration 0.40 Grms, 5-500 Hz, 30 minutes
Operational random vibration 0.21 Grms, 5-500 Hz, 10 minutes
Systems that are mounted on an approved EMC package complete transportation testing
to withstand shock and vibrations in the vertical direction only. Table 21 shows the
respective maximum shock and vibration values not to exceed.
Table 21 Transportation Testing
Packaged System Condition Response Measurement Level
Transportation shock 10 G, 12ms duration
Transportation random vibration 1.15 Grms, 1 hour Frequency range 1-200 Hz

Security Requirements
Security Requirements
This section describes the security requirements in the data center.
Firewall Settings
 Set the FW rules prior to installation.
 If the XMS is on a different subnet than the X-Bricks, open TCP, UDP and ICMP firewall
ports in both directions. Refer to Table 22 on page 37.
 Open TCP ports between the XMS and the managing desktop running the XMS GUI.
Refer to Table 22 on page 37.
 Open the services you want to enable from the XMS to the relevant target systems.
Refer to Table 22 on page 37.
Management and IPMI IP Settings

 Allocate three IP addresses, one for the XMS and two for X-Brick #1’s Storage
Controllers. Make sure that both Storage Controller IP addresses are on the same
network subnet, and that XMS IP address can access these addresses.
 It is recommended to protect all XtremIO IP addresses against external access.
 If the XMS IP address is to be exposed only to a specific host, you can use a firewall
and open ports to designated hosts, as described in “Firewall Settings”.

ESRS and Connect-Home Requirements

Note: ESRS IP Client can be used only in single cluster configuration.
EMC® Secure Remote Support (ESRS) provides a secure, IP-based, distributed remote
support solution that enables command, control and visibility of remote support access.
ESRS configuration options with XtremIO are ESRS VE gateway, legacy type ESRS gateway
and ESRS IP Client. These three configuration options provide Connect-In and
Connect-Home functionalities. ESRS VE configuration option also enables receiving
cluster-related Advisory Notices, such as notifications of newly-released XtremIO
versions, documentation and support messages.
As these ESRS configuration options provide the best level of remote support to the
cluster, it is highly recommended that you select one of them when completing the XMS
installation.
If the customer refuses to use ESRS as a connectivity solution, the XMS can be configured
to connect-home only. The connect-home only options with XtremIO are Email or FTPS.
These two options do not provide connect-in functionality to the XMS, but merely ensure
that EMC receives regular configuration report and product alert information from the
customer’s XtremIO environment.
Note: The use of connect-home only configuration with XtremIO is considered an

exception and should be pre-approved.
Preconditions for Deploying ESRS VE and Legacy ESRS Gateway Configurations

The following are preconditions for deploying ESRS VE and legacy ESRS Gateway
configurations on XtremIO at a customer site with ESRS VE or legacy-based GW systems:
 The customer should agree to deploy ESRS as part of the XtremIO deployment, using
an ESRS VE or a legacy-based gateway available on-site.
 The customer should open HTTPS connection between the XMS and the ESRS VE or
legacy-based gateway. Refer to Table 22 on page 37.
 The XtremIO cluster should be in the EMC Install Base (i.e. assigned by EMC
Manufacturing with a formal PSNT).
 The customer should have an ESRS VE on site (or legacy-based gateway).
 For ESRS VE-based gateway, the customer should have deployed ESRS VE 3.0.20 (or
greater) within their VMware ESX Server/Windows Hyper V environment.
When these pre-conditions are fully met, it is possible to proceed and deploy ESRS
integration with the ESRS VE and legacy-based gateway configuration as part of the
XtremIO installation.
Note: ESRS VE and legacy-based gateway deployment, configuration, provisioning and

upgrade are outside the scope of the XtremIO system installation.

Preconditions for Deploying ESRS IP Client Configuration
Note: ESRS IP Client can be used only in a single cluster configuration. Consider using
ESRS-VE that provides a range of additional features, including multi-cluster support.
The following are preconditions for deploying ESRS on XtremIO, using the IP Client
configuration:
 The customer should deploy ESRS Integration as part of the XtremIO deployment,
using an IP Client agent that will be configured on the XMS.
 Customer should open an HTTPS connection between the XMS and the EMC ESRS
server at esrs3.emc.com. Refer to Table 22 on page 37.
Note: Opening an HTTPS connection can be done either directly, or through a

proxy-server. In case of the latter, the customer should provide the following
proxy-server related data:
- Proxy-server type
- Proxy-server address
- Port number used by the proxy-server
- User name and password for using proxy-server (if required)
When these preconditions are fully met, it is possible to proceed and deploy ESRS
integration with the IP Client configuration as part of the XtremIO installation.
Preconditions for Deploying Email Configuration

The following are preconditions for deploying connect-home on XtremIO, using the Email
configuration:
 The customer should deploy connect-home integration as part of the XtremIO
installation, using the Email configuration on the XMS.
 The customer should open an Email connection between the XMS and the customer
SMTP server. Refer to Table 22 on page 37.
 The customer should configure the SMTP server to prevent the XMS from adding a
footer to outgoing email messages.
Once these preconditions are fully met, it is possible proceed and deploy connect-home
integration with the Email configuration as part of your XtremIO installation.

Ports and Protocols
Preconditions for Deploying FTPS Configuration

The following are preconditions for deploying connect-home on XtremIO, using the FTPS
configuration:
 The customer should deploy connect-home Integration as part of the XtremIO
installation, using the FTPS configuration on the XMS.
The customer should open an FTPS connection between the XMS and the EMC FTP server
at corpusfep3.emc.com. Refer to Table 22 on page 37.
Once these preconditions are fully met, it is possible proceed and deploy connect-home
integration with the FTPS configuration as part of your XtremIO installation.
