EX500 upgrade paths
Learn about the EX500 ECS appliance upgrade paths.
If there are five or more nodes in the system (VDC) with the same disk size and total node disk capacity, the minimum node
expansion is only one. This upgrade is possible when the expansion node has the same disk size and the total disk capacity of
the existing nodes. For example, you have an EX500 appliance with five nodes containing 24x8TB disks (192TB). You can add a
single node with 24x8TB disks or a total disk capacity of 192TB.
If you are adding nodes that have different disk sizes or node capacity than the nodes currently in the system, you must add a
minimum of five nodes at a time. For example, you have an EX500 appliance with five nodes containing 24x8TB drives. If you
want to add nodes of different drive size (12TB, or 16TB), you must add five or more nodes, at a time.
NOTE: All drives within a node must be of the same drive size, but there can be nodes of differing drive sizes within a rack.
● Disk upgrade kits are available in 12-disk increments.
● EX500 upgrades: 12 to 24 disks.
● To add disk capacity to an EX500, disk upgrade kits per node must be ordered based on the existing disk capacity 8, 12, or
16TB.
● All empty drive slots must be filled with a disk filler.
