•You must use fully qualified e-mail addresses, for example, name@mycompany.com.

•You can configure multiple e-mail addresses before you click OK.

Configuring SNMP Alerts

To add a management console to the list of addresses configured to receive SNMP alerts:

1Open the Configure Alerts dialog by performing one of these actions:

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

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

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

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

•An individual storage array—Select this option to send an alert notification about events that occur in 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 alert notifications and click OK. The Configure Alerts dialog appears.

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

3Select the SNMP tab to configure the SNMP alert destinations.

•Adding an SNMP address—In Community name, type the community name. In Trap destination, type the trap destination, and click Add.

NOTE: The community name is an American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) string that identifies a known set of network management stations and is set by the network administrator. The default community name is the string “public”. The trap destination is the IP address or the host name of a computer running an SNMP management application. An example of a SNMP enabled management application is the Dell Management Console. Please see dell.com for more information on the Dell Management Console.

MD3200i, MD3220i specifications

The Dell MD3220i and MD3200i are part of Dell's extensive line of modular storage solutions, designed to support organizations in optimizing their data management and scalability requirements. These models offer reliable performance and flexible features, making them suitable for various workloads including virtualization, cloud storage, and disaster recovery.

One of the standout features of the MD3220i and MD3200i is their support for iSCSI storage networking. 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.
