5075-A30 Controller and Memory Specifications
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Machine type and model | 5075-A30 |
| Rack height | 2U |
| Internal drive slots | 32 |
| Processors | Two AMD EPYC processors |
| Processor cores | 16 per processor, 32 total |
| Memory options | 768 GB or 1.5 TB |
| Maximum I/O ports | 32 |
| SAS expansion models | None listed |
FlashCore Module 5 and Drive Capacity
The FlashSystem 7600 supports these IBM FlashCore Module capacity options:
| Module capacity | Nominal raw capacity |
|---|---|
| Small | 6.6 TB |
| Medium | 13.2 TB |
| Large | 26.4 TB |
| Extra large | 52.8 TB |
The enclosure accommodates up to 32 modules. A full population of 52.8 TB modules totals 1,689.6 TB nominal raw capacity, calculated before RAID and system overhead.
Fibre Channel and Ethernet Connectivity
| Optional connection | Speeds | Host protocols |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre Channel | 32 or 64 Gb/s | Fibre Channel and NVMe/FC |
| High-speed Ethernet | 40 or 100 Gb/s | iSCSI and NVMe/TCP |
| Ethernet | 10 or 25 Gb/s | iSCSI and NVMe/TCP |
The enclosure supports up to 32 I/O ports. Available combinations depend on adapter selection, optics, cables and supported configuration.
Snapshots and FlashCopy Maximums
The following FS7600 limits apply to IBM Storage Virtualize 9.1.2.x:
| Function | Maximum |
|---|---|
| Snapshots per system | 32,099 |
| Thin-clone or clone volumes per system | 16,049 |
| Snapshot policies per system | 128 |
| Safeguarded policies per system | 32 |
| FlashCopy mappings per system | 15,864 |
| FlashCopy consistency groups | 500 |
| FlashCopy mappings per consistency group | 512 |
| FlashCopy targets per source | 256 |
These are software ceilings. Retention also depends on volume configuration, available capacity, data change rate and applicable memory allowances.
Expansion and FlashSystem Grid Scalability
Capacity grows within the enclosure through its 32 drive slots. IBM lists no SAS expansion models for the 5075-A30. Additional systems can participate in a supported FlashSystem grid. IBM publishes these aggregate figures for 32 similarly configured FS7600 systems:
| Grid specification | Published aggregate maximum |
|---|---|
| Effective capacity | 230 PBe |
| Read bandwidth | 1,760 GB/s |
| I/O ports | 1,024 |
These represent combined grid resources, not one enclosure’s performance or a single application’s throughput.
Cyber Resilience and Recovery Planning
IBM FlashSystem 7600 and FCM5 integrated threat detection, compression and resilient storage operations. These capabilities should form part of an application-specific recovery plan with tested restore procedures. Define snapshot retention, recovery points, recovery-time targets and access controls before selecting the final configuration.
