下载 RAID 控制器和 NVSRAM 软件包

每个固件文件都存在版本号。版本号表明该固件是主要版本还是次要版 本。您可以使用 Enterprise Management Window (EMW) 下载和激活主要 固件版本和次要固件版本。您也可使用 Array Management Window (AMW) 仅下载和激活次要固件版本。

注：固件版本的格式为 aa.bb.cc.dd。

其中 aa 是主要固件版本，而 bb.cc.dd 是次要固件版本。根据更改的不同， 可以从 EMW 和 AMW 或只从 EMW 更新固件。

您可以立即激活文件，或等到更适当的时候激活。您或许希望稍后激活固 件或 NVSRAM 文件，原因如下：

•时间—激活固件和 NVSRAM 会花费较长时间，因此可以等到 I/O 负荷较 轻时执行。 RAID 控制器模块短暂脱机以载入新固件。

•软件包的类型—您可能希望在将文件加载到其他存储阵列之前，先在 一个存储阵列上测试新固件。

是否能够下载两个文件并稍后激活它们取决于存储阵列中 RAID 控制器模 块的类型。

注：您可以使用脚本通过命令行界面下载并激活多个存储阵列上的固件。有 关命令行界面的详细信息，请参阅 PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager 联机帮助主题。

同时下载 RAID 控制器和 NVSRAM 固件

注：升级 RAID 控制器和 NVSRAM 固件时，可继续对阵列进行 I/O 操作。

注：Dell 建议在维护周期中阵列不用于 I/O 时升级固件和 NVSRAM。

注：RAID 硬盘柜必须至少包含两个磁盘驱动器，才能更新控制器上的固件。 通过一个操作下载 RAID 控制器和 NVSRAM 固件：

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.
