2Choose one:

•Select the snapshot virtual disk, and select Virtual Disk→ Snapshot→

Rollback.

•Right-click the snapshot virtual disk and select Rollback.

The Confirm Rollback Snapshot Virtual Disk dialog is displayed.

3In the Select rollback priority area, use the slider bar to set rollback priority.

NOTE: If priority is set at the lowest rate, normal data write activity is highest priority and the rollback operation takes longer to complete. If the priority is at the highest rate, the rollback operation is highest priority and data write activity is reduced.

4To start the snapshot rollback, type yes in the confirmation box and click OK.

Rollback status is shown in the Properties pane for the base virtual disk and snapshot virtual disk.

Resuming a Snapshot Rollback

If an error occurs during the snapshot rollback and the operation is paused, you can resume the rollback using the following steps:

1In the array management window, select the Logical tab.

2Choose one:

•Select the snapshot virtual disk, and select Virtual Disk→ Snapshot→ Resume Rollback.

•Right-click the snapshot virtual disk and select Resume Rollback. The Resume Rollback dialog is displayed.

3Click OK.

If the snapshot rollback resumed successfully, status is displayed in Properties pane of the base virtual disk or snapshot virtual disk.

If the snapshot rollback did not resume successfully, the rollback operation pauses again and both virtual disks display Needs Attention icons. Check the Major Event Log (MEL) for details and follow the Recovery Guru procedure to correct the issue.

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.
