注：您可以在一个磁盘组或虚拟磁盘中混用不同的介质类型或接口类型。

5单击 Add （添加）。

此时将出现一条信息，提示您确认选择。

6要将该容量添加到磁盘组，请单击 Yes （是）。

还可以使用 Windows 和 Linux 主机上的命令行界面 (CLI) 将可用容量添 加至磁盘组。

一旦完成容量扩充后，磁盘组中的附加可用容量便可用于创建新虚拟磁盘 或扩充现有虚拟磁盘。

虚拟磁盘扩充

虚拟磁盘扩充属动态修改操作，可增大标准虚拟磁盘的容量。

注：快照存储库虚拟磁盘可通过 CLI 或 MDSM 进行扩充。所有其它虚拟磁盘 类型仅可通过 CLI 进行扩充。

如果您收到快照存储库虚拟磁盘已满的警告，则可通过 MDSM 扩充快照 存储库虚拟磁盘。有关步骤说明，请参阅第 138 页上的 “快照库容量”。

使用可用容量

您可以使用标准虚拟磁盘或快照存储库虚拟磁盘的磁盘组中的可用容量增 加虚拟磁盘的容量。

Logical （逻辑）窗格中所示的 Free Capacity （可用容量）节点是已定义 磁盘组中一段未分配容量的连续区域。增大虚拟磁盘容量时，可使用部分 或全部可用容量以实现所要求的最终容量。选定虚拟磁盘上的数据在增大 虚拟磁盘容量的过程中仍可进行访问。

使用未配置的容量

磁盘组中没有可用容量时，您可以使用未配置的容量来增大标准虚拟磁盘 或快照存储库虚拟磁盘的容量。通过将未配置的容量 （以未分配的物理 磁盘形式）添加到标准虚拟磁盘或快照存储库虚拟磁盘的磁盘组，可实现 扩容。请参阅第 121 页上的 “磁盘组扩充”。

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.
