To remove remote replication from a storage array:

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

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

The Remove Replication Relationship dialog is displayed. The Replicated pairs table shows all replicated pairs in both the local and remote storage array.

3To remove a replication relationship, select one or more replicated pairs. To select all replicated pairs, click Select All.

4Click Remove.

The Remove Replication Relationship - Confirmation message is displayed.

5Click Yes.

The Remove Replicated Pair - Progress bar shows the progress of the removal process.

Deactivating the Remote Replication on the Storage Array

Before you can permanently disable the Remote Replication premium feature you must deactivate it on the storage array, see "Disabling the Remote Replication Premium Feature" on page 209. Deactivating the Remote Replication premium feature on this storage array does not affect remote virtual disk replications or the Remote Replication premium features on other storage arrays. However, another storage array cannot use this storage array as a remote storage array for creating a separate remote virtual disk replication.

To deactivate remote replication in a storage array:

1In the Array Management Window, select Storage Array→ Remote Replication→ Deactivate.

The Deactivate Remote Replication confirmation message is displayed.

2Click Yes.

The Remote Replication premium feature is deactivated and the two replication repository virtual disks are deleted from the storage array.

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.
