Compatibility with Power Systems
The IBM ES8V 1.55TB SFF-3 SSD 4k eMLC4 (00LY335) is compatible with IBM Power Systems running AIX/Linux, enabling high-performance enterprise storage for TS3100 and TS3200 tape libraries in data center solutions. This SSD integrates with Power8 and Power9 system units, supporting SFF-3 SAS bays in models like 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 8286-41A, and 8286-42A, but not EXP24S Gen2 drawers. It supports AIX (7.2 TL0, 7.1 TL3 SP3, 6.1 TL9 SP3 or later) and Linux (RHEL 6.7, SLES 11 SP4, Ubuntu 16.04 or later), with PowerVM VIOS (2.2.3.3 or later). The drive requires PCIe3/2 SAS adapters like EJ14 or EJ0L for connectivity, ensuring robust data transfer and efficient system administration. It facilitates secure data management with advanced error correction, optimizing mission-critical workloads like ERP and database systems with high-performance capabilities in demanding business environments:
- Power Systems: 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 9009-22A, 8286-41A, 8286-42A, 8247-21L, optimized for AIX/Linux storage.
- Supports TS3100 (3573-L2U) and TS3200 (3573-L4U) tape libraries for flexible configurations.
- Requires SAS adapters (e.g., EJ14, EJ0L, EJ0J) for operation.
Note: Not supported in EXP24S Gen2 drawers; requires SFF-3 carrier tray.
