•In the Tree view or the Table view on the Devices tab in the EMW, select a node, and then select Edit→ Configure Alerts. Go to step 3.

•In the Setup tab in the EMW, select Configure Alerts. Go to step 2.

2 Select one of the following radio buttons to specify an alert level:

•All storage arrays—Select this option to send an alert e-mail about events on all storage arrays.

•An individual storage array—Select this option to send an alert e-mail about events that occur on only a specified storage array.

These results occur, depending on your selection:

•If you selected all storage arrays, the Configure Alerts dialog appears.

•If you selected an individual storage array, the Select Storage Array dialog appears. Select the storage array for which you want to receive e-mail alerts and click OK. The Configure Alerts dialog appears.

•If you do not know which storage array to select, click Blink to turn on the LEDs of the storage array.

3In the Configure Alerts dialog, select the Mail Server tab.

4In Mail server, type the name of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) mail server.

The SMTP mail server is the name of the mail server that forwards the alert e-mails to the configured e-mail addresses.

5In Email sender address, type the e-mail sender address. Use a valid e-mail address.

The e-mail address of the sender (the network administrator) appears on each e-mail alert sent to the destination.

6To include the contact information of the sender in the e-mail alert, select Include contact information with the alerts, and type the contact information.

By utilizing the Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) protocol, these systems provide organizations with a cost-effective way to connect their storage over existing network infrastructure, enabling efficient data transfers and management.

Both models are equipped with dual controllers that ensure high availability and failover capabilities, which are crucial for meeting uptime requirements in mission-critical environments. The dual controllers also facilitate load balancing and increase overall system performance, as they allow multiple paths to the storage, enhancing I/O performance.

Scalability is another key characteristic of the MD3220i and MD3200i. These storage arrays can be expanded to meet growing storage demands, supporting up to 240TB of raw capacity with up to 16 additional expansion enclosures. This flexibility allows organizations to start with a smaller configuration and grow their storage capabilities without a complete overhaul of the existing infrastructure.

The units also support multiple disk types, including traditional spinning disks, solid-state drives (SSDs), and a combination of both. This versatility enables users to tailor storage configurations to their specific performance and budgetary needs. Furthermore, the systems feature advanced data management technologies such as snapshots and remote replication, providing essential tools for data protection.

With their ease of management, the MD3220i and MD3200i are designed for straightforward configuration and operation. The intuitive management interfaces allow IT professionals to monitor performance, configure storage, and manage data effectively, ensuring businesses can maintain optimal system availability.

In summary, the Dell MD3220i and MD3200i are robust, scalable, and versatile storage solutions that cater to diverse organizational needs. Their integrated technologies, such as iSCSI support, dual controller architecture, and advanced data management features, make them an ideal choice for modern data centers looking to enhance storage capabilities while ensuring reliability and performance.
