注：如果所选存储阵列带有不同的RAID 控制器模块类型，而且不能使 用同一NVSRAM 文件更新，则单击NVSRAM，将显示 Incompatible RAID Controller Modules （不兼容的 RAID 控制器模块）对话框。单击 OK （确定）关闭对话框并选择使用相似RAID 控制器模块类型的存储阵列。

10要定位下载 NVSRAM 文件所在的目录，可以单击 Select file （选择文件） 区域中的 Browse （浏览）。

将显示 Select File （选择文件）对话框。

11选择要下载的文件并单击 OK （确定）。

该 NVSRAM 文件的所有属性都会显示在 NVSRAM file information

（NVSRAM 文件信息）区域内。属性会指明该 NVSRAM 文件的版本。

12单击 OK （确定）。

将显示 Confirm Download （确认下载）对话框。

13单击 Yes （是）。

下载物理磁盘固件

小心：更新物理磁盘固件时，必须停止对该阵列的所有I/O 操作以防数据丢失。

物理磁盘固件控制物理磁盘的各种功能。磁盘阵列控制器 (DAC) 使用此 类固件。物理磁盘固件将在名为 DACstore 的物理磁盘区域上存储系统配 置的相关信息。 DACstore 和物理磁盘固件简化了物理磁盘的重新配置和 迁移。物理磁盘固件执行以下功能：

•物理磁盘固件记录物理磁盘在扩展柜中的位置。如果从扩展柜中取出 物理磁盘，则必须将其插回相同的物理磁盘插槽，否则物理磁盘固件 将无法与 RAID 控制器模块或其他存储阵列组件通信。

•RAID 配置信息存储在物理磁盘固件中，并用于与其他 RAID 组件进行 通信。

小心：应用程序错误的风险 – 下载固件可能导致应用程序错误。

下载固件时谨记以下重要原则以避免发生应用程序错误的风险：

•固件下载不当可能导致物理磁盘损坏或数据丢失。仅在技术支持代表 的指导下执行下载。

•先停止存储阵列的所有 I/O 操作，然后再执行下载。

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.
