- Description
- The following amendment three(3) is to clarify the following information: IF you are going to use the RAID 5 specified in the requirements, do you need the Hardware Controller to be capable of Raid 3? NIST Response: RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD are required. Can you please let me know what versions of the software listed in section 4 are needed for the cluster? NIST Response: Most recent stable versions. Question: The specs for the computer nodes request a software RAID configuration for the hard drives with 4 RAID stripes but the drives sizes requested is not clear. It asks for a 10GB, 25GB, and 300GB. Then it is followed by requesting (2) 300GB 10k rpm. Im not clear exactly what size drives are needed and how many as the industry does not produce any 10gb or 25gb drive sizes. NIST Response: Each of the four compute nodes will have two physical drives (two 300GB 10K RPM drives). The software RAID must be configured so that all four stripes exist on each physical drive. The two RAID 1 stripes will be mirrored across the two drives. The two RAID 0 stripes will be segmented symmetrically across the two drives.
