IBM AHS6 9.6TB NVMe FlashCore Module for IBM FlashSystem

The IBM AHS6 9.6TB NVMe FlashCore Module is a second-generation IBM FlashCore Module, or FCM2, used in supported IBM FlashSystems. It combines 9.6TB of usable module capacity with NVMe connectivity, hardware-based compression, encryption and IBM flash-management technology. The IBM AHS6 9.6TB NVMe FlashCore Module provides 9.6TB of usable module capacity with NVMe connectivity, integrated hardware compression and encryption. IBM AHS6 9.6TB NVMe FlashCore Module is a machine-specific IBM feature code used when identifying the storage option for applicable IBM FlashSystem configurations. The IBM AHS6 9.6TB NVMe FlashCore Module may have 02YC417 03GH470 03GU600 02CL184 03GH766 03GU519 part numbers and IBM ADS6 AGS6 AES6 and AHS6 feature codes depending on the IBM FlashSystem model the FCM was purchased. The IBM AHS6 is the IBM ordering feature code associated with applicable FlashSystem 9100 and FlashSystem 9200 configurations. Alternate corresponding IBM 9.6TB FCM2 feature codes include IBM ADS6, AES6 and AGS6 for other supported IBM FlashSystem model.

IBM AHS6 9.6TB FCM2 Specifications

Corresponding IBM Feature Codes by Machine Type

AHS6, ADS6, AES6 and AGS6 identify corresponding 9.6TB FCM2 options within different IBM machine families. The feature prefix reflects the ordering platform. It does not, by itself, establish that every physical module assembly can be moved between all of the systems listed below.

9846-AHS6 - FlashSystem 9100 family: 9846-AF7 and 9846-AF8
9848-AHS6 - FlashSystem 9100 family: 9848-AF7 and 9848-AF8
2076-ADS6 - FlashSystem 7200: 2076-824
4664-ADS6 - FlashSystem 7200 with Expert Care: 4664-824
2076-ADS6 - Storwize V7000 Gen3: 2076-724
2077-AES6 - FlashSystem 5100: 2077-4H4
2078-AES6 - FlashSystem 5100: 2078-4H4
4662-AGS6 - FlashSystem 5200: 4662-6H2 and 4662-UH6

IBM AHS6 Part Numbers and Service FRU References

IBM feature codes, service FRUs and other assembly numbers include: 02YC417 03GH470 03GU600 02CL184 03GH766 03GU519

9.6 TBu and 21.99 TBe: Understanding Capacity

9.6 TBu is usable capacity at the module level. 21.99 TBe is the effective-capacity IBM publishes for the documented 9.6TB FCM2 service part. Effective capacity reflects data reduction. The capacity available to applications also depends on RAID protection, distributed spare capacity, system overhead and workload compressibility.

What information should I provide for an AHS6 quote?

Provide the complete enclosure machine type and model, module part number or FRU, quantity, installed firmware and storage software level, and whether the requirement is replacement or expansion.
