Resuming a Remote Replication

1In the AMW of the storage array with the primary virtual disk, select the Logical tab.

2In the Logical pane, right-click the primary virtual disk of the replicated pair, then select Resume Replication.

The Resume Replicated Pair dialog is displayed. The Replicated pairs table shows all suspended replicated pairs in the local and remote storage arrays.

3Select one or more replicated pairs. To select all replicated pairs, click Select All.

4Click Resume.

The Resume Replication Pair - Confirmation message is displayed.

5In the Confirmation text box, type Yes. The remote virtual disk replication resumes.

The Properties panes in the AMW for the local storage array and the remote storage array show the Replication status as Synchronized for both the primary and secondary virtual disks.

About Resumed Remote Replications

When a remote virtual disk replication is suspended, data continues to write to the primary virtual disk, but is not replicated to the secondary virtual disk. Writes to the primary virtual disk are persistently logged to the replication repository virtual disks.

After communications are restored, data transfer between the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual disk must be resynchronized.

Depending on which resynchronization method you specify, the following occurs:

•Automatic resynchronization—Data transfer automatically starts immediately after the virtual disks are resynchronized.

•Manual resynchronization—You must manually resume the remote virtual disk replication to restart the data transfer. A suspended remote virtual disk replication stays in a Suspended status until it is manually resumed.

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.
