注:MDSM 连接到指定的存储阵列需耗时几分钟。 手动添加存储阵列:

1选择 Edit (编辑→ Add Storage Array (添加存储阵列)。

2选择相关管理方法:

Out-of-band management (带外管理)输入存储阵列中RAID

控制器模块的主机名或 IP 地址。

In-band management (带内管理)输入存储阵列通过其连接到 网络的主机的名称或 IP 地址。

注:必须重新启动主机代理才能建立带内管理通信。请参阅第 249 页上

启动或重新启动 Host Context Agent 软件

3 单击 Add (添加)。

4 使用以下方法之一命名存储阵列:

EMW 中,选择 Setup (设置)选项卡,然后选择

Name/Rename Storage Arrays (命名 / 重命名存储 阵列)。

AMW 中,选择 Setup (设置)选项卡,然后选择 Rename Storage Arrays (重命名存储阵列)。

EMW 中,右键单击与阵列对应的图标,然后选择 Rename (重命名)。

设置存储阵列

AMW Setup (设置)选项卡中将显示初始设置任务列表。初始设置任 务列表将展示如何设置存储阵列。执行 Initial Setup Tasks Area (初始设 置任务区域)中列出的步骤,可确保正确完成基本设置步骤。

初次设置存储阵列时,使用 Initial Setup Tasks (初始设置任务)列表执 行以下任务:

定位存储阵列通过打开设备标识 LED,找到存储阵列在网络中的物 理位置。可使用标签标识存储阵列。

指定存储阵列的新名称使用可识别每个存储阵列的唯一名称。

设置存储阵列密码配置带有密码的存储阵列,防止未经授权进行访 问。当您试图改变存储阵列配置时, MDSM 提示输入密码。例如,在 创建或删除一个虚拟磁盘时。

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.
