使用高级路径创建快照虚拟磁盘

关于高级路径

使用高级路径可以选择将快照库虚拟磁盘放置到可用容量还是未配置的容 量中，并可以更改快照库虚拟磁盘参数。您可以选择高级路径，而不用考 虑对于快照虚拟磁盘是使用可用容量还是使用未配置的容量。

使用高级路径，可以为快照虚拟磁盘指定以下参数：

•Snapshot Virtual Disk Name （快照虚拟磁盘名称）—用户指定的名称， 可以帮助您将快照虚拟磁盘与其相应的快照库虚拟磁盘和源虚拟磁盘 进行关联。

•Snapshot Repository Virtual Disk Name （快照库虚拟磁盘名称）—用户 指定的名称，可以帮助您将快照库虚拟磁盘与其相应的快照虚拟磁盘 和源虚拟磁盘进行关联。

•Capacity Allocation （容量分配）—该参数可使您选择创建快照库虚拟 磁盘的位置。可以使用以下方法之一分配容量：

–使用源虚拟磁盘 所驻留的磁盘组上的可用容量。

–使用其它磁盘组上的可用容量。

–使用未配置的容量并为快照库虚拟磁盘创建一个新磁盘组。

–Dell 建议将快照库虚拟磁盘放置在源虚拟磁盘的磁盘组内。这可以 确保在与磁盘组关联的驱动器移至其它存储阵列时，与快照虚拟磁 盘关联的所有虚拟磁盘均会保留在同一个组中。

•Snapshot Repository Virtual Disk Capacity （快照库虚拟磁盘容量）— 快照库虚拟磁盘容量将以源虚拟磁盘容量的百分比形式表示

（最多 220%）。

•Percent Full （百分比已满）—当快照库虚拟磁盘达到指定的存储库充 满百分比级别时，将在主要事件日志 (MEL) 中记录事件。默认的快照 库充满百分比级别是源虚拟磁盘的 50%。

•Snapshot Repository Virtual Disk Full Conditions （快照库虚拟磁盘已满 状态）—快照库虚拟磁盘变满时，可以选择是否对源虚拟磁盘或快照 虚拟磁盘进行写入操作。

•Host-to-Virtual Disk Mapping （主机到虚拟磁盘的映射）—选择是现在 还是以后将快照虚拟磁盘映射至主机或主机组。默认设置为 Map later （以后映射）。

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.
