存储分区在以下情况下不可用：

•Mappings （映射）选项卡上的 Topology （拓扑）窗格中没有有效的 主机组或主机。

•存储分区中包含的主机没有定义主机端口。

•所有映射均已定义。

注：您可以在存储分区中包括辅虚拟磁盘。不过，任何映射到辅虚拟 磁盘的主机均为只读访问权限，直到该虚拟磁盘升级为主虚拟磁盘， 或删除镜像关系。

存储分区拓扑是一组元素 （例如，默认组、主机组、主机和主机端口），这些 元素将作为节点在 AMW 中 Mappings （映射）选项卡的 Topology （拓扑） 窗格中显示。有关详情，请参阅第 80 页上的 “使用映射选项卡”。

如果没有定义存储分区拓扑，则每次选择 Mappings （映射）选项卡时都 会显示一个通知对话框。您必须先定义存储分区拓扑，才能定义实际的存 储分区。

磁盘组和虚拟磁盘扩充

通过将阵列上的未配置的容量添加到磁盘组，可将可用容量添加到磁盘 组。在整个修改操作过程中，磁盘组、虚拟磁盘及物理磁盘上的数据都是 可访问的。附加可用容量可用于在标准虚拟磁盘或快照库虚拟磁盘上执行 虚拟磁盘扩充。

磁盘组扩充

1在 AMW 中，选择 Logical （逻辑）选项卡。

2选择一个磁盘组。

3选择 Disk Group （磁盘组） → Add Free Capacity (Physical Disks)

（添加可用容量 [ 物理磁盘 ]）。

此时将显示 Add Free Capacity （添加可用容量）窗口。根据 RAID 级别 以及当前磁盘组的机柜丢失保护，此时将显示未分配物理磁盘的列表。

注：如果磁盘组的 RAID 级别为 RAID 级别 5 或 RAID 级别 6，并且扩展 柜拥有机柜丢失保护功能，此时将显示 Display only physical disks that will ensure enclosure loss protection （只显示将确保机柜丢失保护的物 理磁盘）并且默认为已选中。

4在 Available physical disks （可用的物理磁盘）区域中，选择物理磁 盘，直到达到许可的最大物理磁盘数。

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.
