创建虚拟磁盘对之前,验证一下各项:

1远程复制高级功能已在主和次存储阵列上安装、启用并激活。

2包含两个您想复制的虚拟磁盘的存储阵列通过一光纤通道构造接口连接。

3次存储阵列包含一容量与复制对中主虚拟磁盘相当 (或更大)的虚拟 磁盘。

4两个虚拟磁盘均对存储管理软件可见。

5所有次虚拟磁盘的 I/O 已停止,所有文件系统未装载。

小心:创建复制虚拟磁盘对会在主和次虚拟磁盘间启动一同步进程。该进 程重写次虚拟磁盘上的所有现存数据并重置磁盘为只读访问。如果您的次虚 拟磁盘上现存有数据,先备份数据,再创建复制虚拟磁盘对。

使用其他功能的远程复制

远程复制可以与其他磁盘工具功能一起使用,如:

存储器分区

快照虚拟磁盘高级功能

虚拟磁盘复制高级功能

虚拟磁盘扩展 (VDE)

快照虚拟磁盘和虚拟磁盘备份是必须在主存储阵列上启用和激活的高级功能。

带有远程复制的存储器分区

存储器分区允许主机共享存储阵列中对虚拟磁盘的访问权限。定义一批主 机 (主机组)或单个主机时,就会创建一个存储器分区,然后创建一个 虚拟磁盘到逻辑单元数 (LUN) 映射。该映射允许您定义访问存储阵列的 某一特定虚拟磁盘的主机或主机组。

本地存储阵列和远程存储阵列的存储器分区定义相互独立。在处于次级作 用的磁盘上建立相似的定义减少了站点恢复期间的管理。

带有远程复制的快照虚拟磁盘

快照虚拟磁盘是虚拟磁盘的时间点映像。远程复制时,不要在与主虚拟磁 盘相同的服务器上装载快照虚拟磁盘。

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.
