Installing the MD Storage Software

NOTE: For detailed instructions about installing the MD storage software, setting up the enclosure, and the post-installation tasks, see the Deployment Guide.

The MD Storage Manager application configures, manages, and monitors the storage array. To install the MD storage software:

1Insert the MD series resource media.

Depending on your operating system, the installer may launch automatically. If the installer does not launch automatically, navigate to the root directory of the installation media (or downloaded installer image) and run the md_launcher.exe file. For Linux-based systems, navigate to the root of the resource media and run the autorun file.

NOTE: By default, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system mounts the resource media with the -noexec mount option which does not allow you to run executable files. To change this setting, see the Readme file in the root directory of the installation media.

2Select Install MD Storage Software.

3Read and accept the license agreement.

4Select one of the following installation options from the Install Set drop-down menu:

•Full (recommended)—Installs the MD Storage Manager (client) software, host-based storage agent, multipath driver, and hardware providers.

•Host Only—Installs the host-based storage agent and multipath drivers.

•Management—Installs the management software and hardware providers.

•Custom—Allows you to select specific components.

5Select the MD storage array model(s) you are setting up to serve as data storage for this host server.

6Choose whether to start the event monitor service automatically when the host server reboots or manually

NOTE: This option is applicable only to Windows client software installation.

7Confirm the installation location and click Install.

MD3620F, MD3600f specifications

Dell's MD3620F and MD3600F storage arrays are designed for businesses seeking dependable, high-performance storage solutions tailored to meet the demands of modern data management. These models offer a blend of scalability, efficiency, and advanced features, making them well-suited for a range of applications, from virtual environments to critical database operations.

One of the primary features of the MD3620F and MD3600F is their support for a hybrid storage architecture. This approach allows organizations to combine flash storage with traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) to optimize performance and cost. The MD3620F focuses heavily on all-flash configurations, delivering exceptional speed and lower latency, ideal for I/O-intensive workloads.

Scalability is another hallmark of these storage solutions. The MD3600F allows users to scale up to 120 drives, providing robust capacity to meet growing data needs. The MD3620F is engineered for environments where data availability and speed are paramount, with support for high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) and consistent performance under stress.

In terms of data management, both systems integrate with Dell’s proprietary software, which enhances operational efficiency through features like automated tiering. This technology optimizes data placement between different storage types based on access frequency, ensuring that hot data is readily available while reducing costs associated with less critical data.

Reliability is crucial for businesses that depend on their storage systems. The MD3620F and MD3600F come equipped with advanced data protection mechanisms, such as RAID support, which safeguards against data loss, and snapshot capabilities that provide point-in-time copies of data. Moreover, these solutions include hot-swappable components, ensuring minimal downtime for maintenance and repairs.

Connectivity is also a strong suit of these storage arrays. They support multiple connectivity options, including SAS and iSCSI, allowing for flexible integration into existing IT infrastructures. This adaptability enhances their appeal to a wide range of enterprise environments.

In summary, the Dell MD3620F and MD3600F stand out as robust storage solutions with a combination of hybrid and all-flash configurations, scalability, advanced data management tools, and enhanced reliability features. These characteristics make them ideal for organizations looking to enhance their data storage capabilities while maintaining high performance and efficiency.
