To change the synchronization priority and method for an existing remote replication:

1In the AMW of the storage array containing the primary virtual disk of the replicated pair, right-click the Logical tab.

2Select Change→ Synchronization Settings.

The Change Synchronization Settings dialog is displayed.

3In the Replicated pairs table, select the primary virtual disk and the remote virtual disk you want to change. To select all virtual disks, click Select All.

4On the Select Synchronization Priority slide bar, select the synchronization priority for the replicated pair.

5Select either Manual or Automatic resynchronization.

•Automatic —Resynchronization starts immediately after communication is restored between unsynchronized replicated virtual disks.

•Manual—The replicated pair must be manually resynchronized each time communication is restored between unsynchronized replicated virtual disks.

6Click OK.

The Change Synchronization Settings confirmation message is displayed.

7In the Change Synchronization Settings confirmation message, click Yes.

The Change Synchronization Priority - Progress bar displays the progress of the resynchronization.

MD3600f, MD3620F 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.
