配置主机访问权限

Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) 软件由多个模块 组成。其中一个模块为 Host Context AgentHost Context Agent 将作为 MDSM 安装的其中一个部件进行安装,并在后台持续运行。

如果 Host Context Agent 运行于主机上, MDSM 则会自动检测该主机以 及将主机连接到存储阵列的主机端口,同时显示在 Array Management Window (AMW) Mappings (映射)选项卡中。有关 Mappings (映 射)选项卡的详细信息,请参阅第 80 页上的 使用映射选项卡

如果没有自动检测到主机,则可使用 Define Host Wizard (定义主机向 导)来定义访问存储阵列中虚拟磁盘的主机。定义主机是使存储阵列了解 所连接的主机并为其分配虚拟磁盘访问权限所必需的步骤之一。有关定义 主机的详细信息,请参阅第 80 页上的 定义主机

为使主机能够写入存储阵列,必须将主机映射到虚拟磁盘。该映射将授予 主机或主机组访问存储阵列中特定虚拟磁盘或多个虚拟磁盘的权限。您可 以在 AMW Mappings (映射)选项卡中定义映射。

AMW Summary (摘要)选项卡上, Hosts & Mappings (主机和映 射)区域将指明有多少主机被配置为可以访问存储阵列。您可以单击

Hosts & Mappings (主机和映射)区域中的 Configured Hosts (已配置的 主机)以查看主机名称。

此时,将有一组元素 (例如默认主机组、主机和主机端口)作为节点出 现在 AMW Mappings (映射)选项卡的 Topology (拓扑)窗格中。

可以重新配置主机拓扑。可以执行以下任务:

创建主机并分配别名或用户标签。

将新的主机端口标识符添加或关联到特定主机。

更改主机端口标识符别名或用户标签。

将主机端口标识符移动或关联到其他主机。

用新的主机端口标识符替换现有主机端口标识符。

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.
