These results occur, depending on your selection:

•If you select all storage arrays, the Configure Alerts dialog appears.

•If you select 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.

•Replacing an SNMP address—Select the SNMP address in the Configured SNMP addresses area, type the replacement community name in Community name and the trap destination in Trap destination, and click Replace.

•Deleting an SNMP address—Select the SNMP address in the Configured SNMP addresses area, and click Delete.

•Validating an SNMP address—Select the SNMP address in the Configured SNMP addresses area, and click Test. A test message is sent to the SNMP address. A message box with the results of the validation and any error information appears.

4Click OK.

An alert icon appears next to each node in the Tree view for which an alert is set.

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.
