虚拟磁盘迁移和磁盘漫游

虚拟磁盘迁移是指通过断开物理磁盘连接并将其重新连接至新阵列,以将 虚拟磁盘或热备份从一个阵列移动到另一阵列的过程。磁盘漫游是指将物 理磁盘从一个插槽移动到同一阵列的另一个插槽的过程。

磁盘迁移

可将虚拟磁盘从一个阵列移动至另一个阵列,而且不用让目标阵列脱机。 但是,正在迁移的磁盘组必须在您执行磁盘迁移前脱机。如果在迁移之前 磁盘组未处于脱机状态,则磁盘组中持有物理磁盘和虚拟磁盘的源阵列会 将它们标记为丢失。然而,磁盘组自身会迁移至目标阵列。

仅当虚拟磁盘处于最佳状态时,阵列才可将其导入。而且仅当正在迁移磁 盘组的所有成员时,才能够移动属于磁盘组的虚拟磁盘。在目标阵列完成 导入磁盘组中的所有磁盘后,虚拟磁盘会自动变为可用。

MD3600f 阵列之间迁移物理磁盘或磁盘组时,作为迁移目标的 MD3600f 阵列会识别正在迁移的 MD3600f 阵列的适当位置上的所有数据 结构和 / 或元数据。然而,如果从 MD3600f 系列存储阵列之外的任何设 备进行迁移,MD3600f 阵列不会识别迁移的元数据,并且该数据会丢失。 在该情况下, MD3600f 阵列会初始化物理磁盘并将它们标记为未配置的 容量。

注:只有包含所有成员物理磁盘的磁盘组和相关虚拟磁盘可在存储阵列之 间迁移。建议只迁移所有相关成员虚拟磁盘都处于最佳状态的磁盘组。

注:存储阵列支持的物理磁盘和虚拟磁盘的数目会限制迁移范围。 使用以下某种方法移动磁盘组和虚拟磁盘:

虚拟磁盘热迁移在迁移磁盘时开启目标存储阵列的电源。

虚拟磁盘冷迁移在迁移磁盘时关闭目标存储阵列的电源。

注:当目标存储阵列已有物理磁盘时,为了确保正确识别正在迁移的磁盘 组和物理磁盘,可使用虚拟磁盘热迁移。

在尝试迁移虚拟磁盘时,请遵照以下建议:

将物理磁盘移动至目标阵列以用于迁移在虚拟磁盘热迁移期间将驱 动器插入目标存储阵列时,请先等待插入的物理磁盘显示在 MDSM 中,然后再插入下一个物理磁盘。

警告:如果在驱动器插入操作之间没有延迟,则存储阵列会变得不稳 定并且可能暂时丢失可管理性。

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.
