配置存储阵列通过自动配置方法或手动配置方法,创建磁盘组、虚 拟磁盘和热备用物理磁盘。有关详细信息,请参阅 PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager 联机帮助主题。

映射虚拟磁盘将虚拟磁盘映射到主机或主机组。

保存配置将配置参数保存到一个文件中,以便用于恢复配置,或在 其它存储阵列中再次使用该配置。有关详细信息,请参阅PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager 联机帮助主题。

完成配置存储阵列的基本步骤之后,您可执行以下可选任务:

手动定义主机定义连接到存储阵列的主机和主机端口标识符。只有 在未被自动识别并在 Mappings (映射)选项卡中显示时,才能使用此 选项。

配置以太网管理端口如果通过使用带外管理连接管理存储阵列,请 配置 RAID 控制器模块上以太网管理端口的网络参数。

定位存储阵列

您可以使用 Blink (闪烁)选项物理查找并标识存储阵列。 定位存储阵列:

1选择相关存储阵列,然后:

EMW 中,右键单击相应的存储阵列,然后选择 Blink Storage Array (闪烁存储阵列)

AMW 中,选择 Setup (设置)选项卡,单击 Blink Storage Array (闪烁存储阵列)。

AMW 中,选择 Storage Array (存储阵列)Blink (闪烁)Storage Array (存储阵列)。

存储阵列中物理磁盘上的 LED 将闪烁。

2找到存储阵列后,单击 OK (确定)。

LED 停止闪烁。

3如果 LED 没有停止闪烁,请选择 Storage Array (存储阵列) → Blink (闪烁) → Stop All Indications (停止 所有 指示)。

此时将显示一条确认消息。

4单击 OK (确定)。

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.
