添加存储阵列, 您必须先将存储阵列添加到 Mdsm，才能设置存储阵列以实现优化使用。

访问虚拟磁盘

MD3600f 系列存储阵列中的每个 RAID 控制器模块都维护一个专用虚拟磁盘，称为访问虚拟磁盘。主机代理软件使用该访问虚拟磁盘在带内管理型存储阵列中的存储管理站和 RAID 控制器模块之间传送管理请求和事件信息。访问虚拟磁盘不可用于应用程序数据存储。默认 LUN 为 31。

添加存储阵列

您只能在 EMW 中添加存储阵列。您可以：

•自动搜索存储阵列

•手动添加存储阵列

注：使用 Automatic （自动）选项添加新存储阵列之前，请验证主机或管理工作站网络配置（包括工作站 IP 地址、子网掩码和默认网关）是否正确。

注：对于 Linux，请设置默认网关，以便将广播信息包发送至 255.255.255.0。对于 Red Hat Enterprise Linux，如果网络上不存在网关，请将默认网关设置为网卡的 IP 地址。

注：MDSM 使用TCP/UDP 端口2463 与MD 存储阵列进行通信。

自动查找存储阵列

“自动查找”过程发送广播信息到本地子网上，并添加任何响应该信息的存储阵列。“自动查找”过程可查找带内存储阵列和带外存储阵列。

注：Enterprise Management Window（企业管理窗口，EMW）中的 Automatic Discovery （自动查找）选项和 Re-scan Hosts （重新扫描主机）选项提供了自动查找管理型存储阵列的方法。

手动添加存储阵列

如果存储阵列位于本地子网之外，请手动添加。此过程需要以下特定标识信息以手动添加存储阵列。

要添加使用带外管理的存储阵列，请指定存储阵列中每个控制器模块的主机名或管理端口 IP 地址。

使用此选项之前，请确认已执行相应的网络配置任务。

要添加带内存储阵列，请添加存储阵列通过其连接到网络的主机。

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.
