HCP S Series storage components

HCP can use HCP S Series Nodes as an alternative to primary storage or for tiering purposes.

To connect the S Series Nodes to the HCP system, you need to add them to the HCP system on the Hardware page of the System Management Console.

You can configure HCP to write directly to S Series Nodes by changing the ingest tier of a service plan. This does not remove the need for primary storage. Primary running storage still keeps all custom metadata of objects tiered to S Series storage.

Once an S Series storage component is added, you can use the Storage page to view its health status, availability, capacity, and current and historical storage usage statistics.

S Series Nodes have a storage capacity limit. You can use the Storage page to monitor the health and usage of S Series storage components and determine when you need to add more S Series Nodes to the HCP system.
