配置：关于存储阵列

可以使用以下两种方法管理存储阵列：

•带外管理

•带内管理

带外管理

使用带外管理方法，数据与命令和事件相互独立。数据通过主机至控制器 接口传输，而命令和事件通过管理端口以太网电缆传输。

此管理方法可以配置操作系统和主机适配器支持的最大虚拟磁盘数。最多 可运行八个存储管理工作站同时监视带外管理型存储阵列。此限制不适用 于通过带内管理方法管理存储阵列的系统。

使用带外管理时，必须为每个 RAID 控制器模块的管理以太网端口设置网 络配置。其中包括网际协议 (IP) 地址、子网掩码和网关。如果使用的是动 态主机配置协议 (DHCP) 服务器，则可以启用自动网络配置，但如果使用 的不是 DHCP 服务器，则必须手动输入网络配置。

注：可以使用 DHCP 服务器指定 RAID 控制器模块网络配置 （默认设置）。 不过，如果 DHCP 服务器持续 150 秒不可用，RAID 控制器模块将分配静态 IP 地址。分配给控制器 0 的地址为 192.168.128.101，控制器 1 的地址为 192.168.128.102。

带内管理

使用带内管理，命令、事件以及通过主机至控制器接口执行的数据传输。 与带外管理不同，带内管理中的命令和事件与数据是混合在一起的。

注：有关设置带内管理和带外管理的详细信息，请参阅 《部署指南》。

通过此管理方法添加存储阵列时，您只需指定主机名或主机的 IP 地址。 添加特定主机名或 IP 地址后，主机代理软件会自动检测连接到该主机的 所有存储阵列。

小心：有些操作系统只能用作存储阵列管理工作站。有关所用操作系统的 详细信息，请参阅 support.dell.com/manuals 上的 MD PowerVault 支持值表。

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.
