Dedicated Storage Servers
Each storage server has six storage targets, 3 per NUMA zone. In total, there are 33 storage targets in the
configuration. The targets are configured like the STs on the Metadata Server. The NVMe drives are
configured in RAID 0 disk groups of 4 drives each and XFS is used as the underlying file system for the
beegfs-storage services.
