User Guide 1. Overview

1.1 OpenFlex™ F3100 and E3000

The OpenFlex™ F3100 and E3000 is a 3U rack

mounted data storage enclosure built on the

OpenFlex platform. OpenFlex is Western Digital’s

architecture that supports Open Composable

Infrastructure (OCI). The OpenFlex F3100 and

E3000 are fabric devices that leverage this OCI

approach in the form of disagreggated data storage

using NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF). NVMe-oF is

a networked storage protocol that allows storage

to be disaggregated from compute to make that

storage widely available to multiple applications

and servers. By enabling applications to share a

common pool of storage capacity, data can be easily

shared between applications, or needed capacity

can be allocated to an application regardless of location. Exploiting NVMe device-level performance,

NVMe-oF promises to deliver the lowest end-to-end latency from application to shared storage. NVMe-

oF enables composable infrastructures to deliver the data locality benefits of NVMe DAS (low latency, high

performance) while providing the agility and flexibility of sharing storage and compute.

The maximum data storage capacity is 614TB * when leveraging a full set of 10 F3100 fabric devices.

The enclosure runs on an input voltage of 200V - 240V and consumes ~1400W of power under typical

conditions. It requires a maximum of 1600W at full load.

Composable Infrastructure

An emerging category of

datacenter infrastructure that

seeks to disaggregate compute,

storage, and networking fabric

resources into shared resource

pools that can be available

for on-demand allocation (i.e.,

“composable”). Composability

occurs at the software level,

disaggregation occurs at the

hardware level using NVMe™-

over-Fabric—will vastly improve

compute and storage utilization,

performance, and agility in the

data center.

OpenFlex

OpenFlex is Western Digital’s

architecture that supports Open

Composable Infrastructure

through storage disaggregation

– both disk and flash natively

attached to a scalable fabric.

OpenFlex does not rule out

multiple fabrics, but whenever

possible, Ethernet will be used as

a unifying connect for both flash

and disk because of its broad

applicability and availability.

Open Composable API

Western Digital's new Open

Composable API is designed

for data center composability.

It builds upon existing industry

standards utilizing the best

features of those standards as

well as practices from proprietary

management protocols.

• 614TB * • 200V - 240V Input Voltages • Dual 1600W PSUs

• 12GBps NVMe-oF over QSFP28

Cables

• 3U Form Factor • Operational Temperature: 5°C to

35°C

• 68.5 kg / 151.1 lbs. • Hot-swappable PSUs and Fans • Dynamic Provisioning Supported

* Max storage capacity depends on device version and device configuration.

User Guide 1. Overview

1.1 OpenFlex™ F3100 and E3000

1.1.1 Servicing Features

The OpenFlex F3100 and E3000 are equipped with several features that make servicing simpler and safer.

Every CRU component has been designed with toolless removal features.

The BMC Module, Fan Module, PSU, and F3100 devices are all hotswappable components. This document

provides full instructions on how these features operate in the Management (page 29) section.

1.1.2 Composable Infrastructures

An emerging category of datacenter infrastructure that seeks to disaggregate compute, storage, and

networking fabric resources into shared resource pools that can be available for on-demand allocation (i.e.,

“composable”). Composable occurs at the software level, disaggregation occurs at the hardware level.

Western Digital’s vision for Open Composable Infrastructures is based on four key pillars:

•Open

◦Open in both API and form factor

◦Designed for robust interoperability of multi-vendor solutions

•Scalable

◦Ability to compose solutions at the width of the network

◦Enable self-organizing systems of composable elements that communicate horizontally

•Disaggregated

◦Pools of resources available for any use case that is defined at run time

◦Independent scaling of compute & storage elements to maximize efficiency & agility

•Extensible

◦Inclusive of both disk and flash

◦Entire ecosystem of composable elements managed & orchestrated using a common API

framework

◦Prepared for yet-to-come composable elements – e.g., memory, accelerators

1.1.2.1 Open Composable

The Western Digital Open Composable Infrastructure (OCI) uses a common API to manage and

coordinate with all fabric-attached storage including pools of flash and disk. The infrastructure also

supports the management of networking and compute resources. The API is used for all managed

elements to accelerate the ability to use disaggregated resources where components are no longer sub-

components, but core elements connected to the network.

1.1.2.2 Open Composable API (OCAPI)

Western Digital’s Open Composable API is a RESTful interface for OpenFlex that enables a Unified Fabric

Control Plane for Storage Fabric Devices. This allows for composing disaggregated storage resources—

with compute, networking, and memory—into virtual systems in the future. These virtual systems will be

dynamically provided to the right application at the right time, ensuring SLAs can be met automatically.

•Volume management (create / modify / delete namespaces, format media)

User Guide 1. Overview

1.1 OpenFlex™ F3100 and E3000

•Monitor hardware sensors (temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, hardware state)

•Configure hardware (update firmware, reboot individual components or systems, assert LEDs)

•Monitor performance (statistics, bandwidth, IOPS, latency)

•Capture inventory data (serial number, part number, etc.)

•Capture log information

•Configure policies (user access lists, authentication, LUN masking, HTTPS/TLS encryption/security

with certificate/key settings)

•Self-discovery of other locally-available resources configurable using the Open Composable API for

OpenFlex

1.1.2.3 OCGUI

The Open Composable Graphical User Interface (OCGUI) is the graphical representation of all of the data

shared up to the fabric by the OCAPI. This GUI is presented to the user by browsing to the IP address

of any device on the fabric. The GUI has a "command-center" design layout that presents all vital health,

utilization, and performance statistics related to devices on the network at a glance.

1.1.3 NVMe-oF

Non-Volatile Memory Express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) is one of the primary enabling technologies for the

OpenFlex platform. NVMe-oF enables the high-speed, low-latency storage performance of NVMe over

a fabric switching network. OpenFlex products drive network communications across the fabric using

100Gb/s Ethernet protocol. This allows for a complex network of computing devices to all share the same

storage resources with very high performance.
