HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric

HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise supports the use of different implementations of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric. Depending on the release version, a given implementation of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be connected as external storage, registered as Tenant/Persistent storage, or both.

In summary, the implementations of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric are the following:

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Bare Metal

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Bare Metal is an implementation of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric that is on physical or virtual machines that are not part of the HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise deployment.

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Bare Metal is the only supported implementation of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric for production deployments of HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Bare Metal is also supported for non-production deployments.

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes is an implementation of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric in a Kubernetes cluster.

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes is available for use in non-production deployments of HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise, but it is not supported for production environments.

Embedded Data Fabric

Embedded Data Fabric is a legacy implementation of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric that is locally Embedded and runs on HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise hosts.

Embedded Data Fabric is not supported on 5.5.0 and later releases of HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Bare Metal for production deployments. For non-production deployments, you can use either HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Bare Metal or HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes.

In an HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise deployment, only one HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric instance can be registered as Tenant/Persistent storage.

5.7.1 7.7 - 7.9 Not Supported Not supported
5.7.0 7.2 - 7.8 1.5.2 Not supported

5.7.1 7.7 to 7.9 (As tenant/persistent storage and as external storage)
5.7.0 7.2 to 7.8 (As tenant/persistent storage and as external storage)
5.6.5 7.2 to 7.6, and 6.2.0 (As tenant/persistent storage and as external storage)

6.1.0 (As external storage only)

Kubernetes Versions

The supported versions of Kubernetes vary by host OS and whether the Kubernetes cluster is imported into HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise.

In some cases, you can update Kubernetes to later versions than listed for yourHPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise release version without upgrading HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise. See Kubernetes Bundles.

Add-On Versions

The following table lists the versions of system and application add-ons by HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise release. KubeDirector is a prerequisite for the analytics and HPE Ezmeral ML Ops add-ons.

In some cases, you can update add-ons to later versions without upgrading HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise to a later version. See Kubernetes Bundles.
