此时将检查该映射的有效性并进行保存。 Defined Mappings (已定义 的映射)窗格将更新以体现新映射。 Topology (拓扑)窗格也将更新 以体现所有主机组或主机的移动情况。

注:如果存储阵列设置了密码,将显示 Enter Password (输入密码)对 话框。键入存储阵列的当前密码,然后单击 OK (确定)。

7如果配置 Linux 主机,请在该主机上运行 rescan_dm_devs 实用程序, 然后根据需要重新安装虚拟磁盘。此实用程序将作为 MDSM 安装操作 的一部分在主机上进行安装。

8重新启动主机应用程序。

更改虚拟磁盘的控制器所有权

如果主机具有至 MD 存储阵列的单一数据路径,则虚拟磁盘必须由与主 机连接的控制器拥有。在开始 I/O 操作之前和在创建虚拟磁盘之后,必须 配置此存储阵列。

您可以更改标准虚拟磁盘或快照存储库虚拟磁盘的 RAID 控制器模块所有 权。您不能直接更改快照虚拟磁盘的 RAID 控制器模块所有权,因为快照 虚拟磁盘继承了其关联源虚拟磁盘的 RAID 控制器模块所有者。更改虚拟 磁盘的 RAID 控制器模块所有权将更改该虚拟磁盘的首选 RAID 控制器模 块所有权。

虚拟磁盘复制期间, RAID 控制器模块必须同时拥有源虚拟磁盘和目标虚 拟磁盘。虚拟磁盘复制启动后,有时两个虚拟磁盘并非拥有相同的首选 RAID 控制器模块。因此,目标虚拟磁盘的所有权将自动转换为源虚拟磁 盘的首选 RAID 控制器模块。虚拟磁盘复制完成或停止后,目标虚拟磁盘 的所有权将恢复为其首选 RAID 控制器模块。如果虚拟磁盘复制期间源虚 拟磁盘的所有权发生变化,则目标虚拟磁盘的所有权也会随之变化。在特 定操作系统环境下,可能有必要重新配置多路径驱动程序后才能使用 I/O 路径。

将虚拟磁盘的所有权更改为连接的控制器:

1AMW 中,选择 Logical (逻辑)选项卡并选择一个虚拟磁盘。

2选择 Virtual Disk (虚拟磁盘) → Change (更改) → Ownership/Preferred Path (所有权 / 首选路径)。

3选择相应的 RAID 控制器模块插槽,然后单击 Yes (是)以确认选择。

配置:磁盘组和虚拟磁盘

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.
