This section provides drive bay mapping information for Supermicro appliance platforms running Qumulo Core.

This section provides drive bay mapping and drive replacement information for Supermicro appliance platforms running Qumulo Core. All drives in Qumulo clusters are hot-swappable.

Drive Hot-Swap Support

Qumulo Core supports hot-swapping drives without taking the node offline. When replacing a drive:

  1. Identify the failed drive using the Qumulo Web UI or CLI.
  2. Locate the physical drive using the drive bay mapping in the Supermicro documentation.
  3. Remove the failed drive.
  4. Insert the replacement drive.
  5. Qumulo Core automatically detects and incorporates the new drive.

All-NVMe U.2 Flash (AS-1115HS-TNR)

The SF-46TB, SF-92TB, and SF-184TB models use U.2 NVMe drives in a 1U form factor.

Model Drive Bays Drive Type Capacity per Drive Total Drives
SF-46TB Front bays 1-12 U.2 NVMe 3.84 TB 12
SF-92TB Front bays 1-12 U.2 NVMe 7.68 TB 12
SF-184TB Front bays 1-12 U.2 NVMe 15.36 TB 12

For drive bay locations and replacement procedures, refer to the AS-1115HS-TNR User’s Manual.

All-NVMe U.3 Flash GrandTwin (AS-2115GT-HNTR)

The GrandTwin models use U.3 NVMe drives distributed across four nodes in a 2U chassis.

Model Drives per Node Drive Type Capacity per Drive Total Drives (Chassis)
GrandTwin 62T 4 U.3 NVMe 3.84 TB 16
GrandTwin 185T 6 U.3 NVMe 7.68 TB 24
GrandTwin 369T 6 U.3 NVMe 15.36 TB 24

Each node in the GrandTwin chassis operates independently. Drives are accessed from the front of the chassis with node-specific drive bays.

For drive bay locations and replacement procedures, refer to the AS-2115GT-HNTR User’s Manual.

For drive bay locations and replacement procedures, refer to the ASG-2115S-NE332R User’s Manual.

Identifying Failed Drives

Using the Qumulo Web UI

  1. Log in to the Qumulo Web UI.
  2. Navigate to Cluster > Cluster Overview.
  3. Click on the affected node.
  4. View the drive status to identify the failed drive slot.

Using the qq CLI

qq cluster_slots_status

This command displays the status of all drive slots across the cluster.
