更改 I/O 类型

您可以指定定义为存储阵列配置组成部分的虚拟磁盘的虚拟磁盘 I/O 特 性。系统使用虚拟磁盘的预期 I/O 特性来表明适用的默认虚拟磁盘分段大 小和动态高速缓存预读取设置。有关 Automatic Configuration Wizard (自动配置向导)的详细信息,请参阅 PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager 联机帮助主题。

注:动态高速缓存预读取设置可稍后通过选择 Virtual Disk (虚拟磁盘) Change (更改) Cache Settings (高速缓存设置)进行更改。您可以稍 后通过选择 Virtual Disk (虚拟磁盘) Change (更改) Segment Size (分段大小)更改分段大小。

以下所示 I/O 特性类型仅在创建虚拟磁盘过程中显示。

选择其中一个虚拟磁盘 I/O 特性后,将在 Dynamic cache read prefetch (动态高速缓存预读取)字段和 Segment size (分段大小)字段中填充通 常最适宜预期 I/O 模式的对应动态高速缓存预读取设置和分段大小值。

更改 I/O 类型:

1根据应用程序需要,从以下虚拟磁盘 I/O 特性类型中进行选择:

文件系统 (典型)

数据库

多媒体

自定义

通常最适宜选定虚拟磁盘 I/O 特性类型的对应动态高速缓存预读取设 置和分段大小值将分别填充到 Dynamic cache read prefetch (动态高速 缓存预读取)和 Segment size (分段大小)字段。

注:如果选择 Custom (自定义)选项,请选择首选动态高速缓存预读 取设置 (已启用 / 已禁用)和分段大小 (8KB 512KB)。

2单击 OK (确定)。

选择相应的物理磁盘类型

您可以在存储阵列中创建磁盘组和虚拟磁盘。您必须从存储阵列提供的未 配置容量或可用容量中选择要分配给虚拟磁盘的容量。然后,可定义虚拟 磁盘的基本参数和可选高级参数。

随着各种物理磁盘技术的出现,现可在一个存储阵列中混用不同介质类型 和不同接口类型的物理磁盘。在此版本的 MDSM 中,支持以下介质类型:

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.
