HPE 877698-001 3Par 8000 128GB SATA SSD

HPE 877698-001 3PAR StoreServ 8000 128GB SATA Node Boot Drive

The HPE 877698-001 is a 128GB SATA SSD used as the internal boot drive in HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 series controller nodes. Market listings describe it as the node boot drive for the 3PAR 8000 family, with the earlier HPE 809813-001 given as an alternative part.

Each 3PAR node stores its copy of the 3PAR OS on this drive. If the boot SSD fails, the node cannot start or rejoin the cluster until the drive is replaced and the OS is restored.

Euroland IT Store lists the 877698-001 in New and Refurbished condition, subject to stock.

Key Features At A Glance

• 128GB SATA SSD for 3PAR 8000 controller nodes
• Stores the node’s 3PAR OS
• Internal node component, not a drive shelf drive
• Listed with 809813-001 as an alternative

Signs a Boot Drive Needs Replacing

A failing node boot drive may show up as:

• A node that will not boot or repeatedly reboots
• Boot drive or node disk errors in the array event log
• Alerts from the service processor about the node’s internal drive

Because a multi-node 3PAR keeps serving data when one node is down, replacement can be planned in a maintenance window, but redundancy is reduced until the node is back.

Servicing the Node

Node boot drive replacement follows HPE’s documented service process: the node is halted and removed, the boot drive is swapped, and the node is reinstalled. The 3PAR OS is then restored to the new drive. Controller nodes such as the HPE 792653-001 StoreServ 8400 controller are separate parts if a whole node needs replacing.

New HPE 877698-001

A New 877698-001 suits organisations that want an unused boot drive for a production array. Check the condition and stock on the product page before ordering.

Refurbished HPE 877698-001

A Refurbished 877698-001 is a cost-effective spare for 3PAR arrays maintained outside HPE support. Refurbished drives have been previously used and prepared for resale. Review the condition and warranty for the refurbished option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the HPE 877698-001 used for?

It is the internal boot SSD in 3PAR StoreServ 8000 controller nodes, holding the node’s 3PAR OS.

Is 877698-001 compatible with 809813-001?

Listings show 809813-001 as an alternative for the 3PAR 8000 node boot drive. Confirm with HPE documentation or ask us before substituting.

Does the array go offline during replacement?

On multi-node arrays, the other node keeps serving data while one node is serviced, although redundancy is reduced.

Can this drive be used in a 3PAR 20000?

The 3PAR 20000 uses different, larger node boot drives. The 877698-001 is listed for the 8000 series.
