启动例行程序

在阵列启动例行程序期间,请观察和倾听表 19-1中说明的现象。有关面板指示灯和背面板指示灯的说明,请参阅第 23 页上的 规划:关于存 储阵列

19-1.启动例行程序期间的现象

观察 / 倾听

操作

警报信息。请参阅存储管理说明文件。

访问物理磁盘时听到的异常、持续刮擦声 请参阅第 261 页上的 获得帮助。 或摩擦声。

注:阵列中必须至少安装两个物理磁盘。

设备运行状况

打开 Enterprise Management Window (EMW) 时, Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Management (MDSM) 软件与每个管理型存储阵列 建立通信,并且确定当前的存储阵列状态。当前状态由管理型存储阵列旁 边的图标表示。

EMW 中的树形视图中显示的状态图标代表每个存储阵列的摘要状态。如 果存储阵列处于 Needs Attention (需要注意)或 Fixing (正在修复)状 态,则必须在尝试任何管理操作之前先确定导致该状态的条件。可以通过 选择存储阵列并启动其 Array Management Window (AMW) 确定导致 Needs Attention (需要注意)或 Fixing (正在修复)状态的条件。

要启动 AMW,请执行以下操作之一:

Devices (设备)选项卡的树形视图或表视图中双击某个存储阵列。 或者右键单击某个存储阵列,然后从弹出式菜单中选择 Manage Storage Array (管理存储阵列)。

Setup (设置)选项卡中,选择 Manage a Storage Array (管理存储 阵列)。

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.
