Instalación del software MD Storage

NOTA: para obtener instrucciones detalladas sobre la instalación del software MD Storage, la configuración del gabinete y las tareas posteriores a la instalación, consulte la Guía de implementación.

La aplicación MD Storage Manager configura, administra y supervisa la matriz de almacenamiento. Para instalar el software MD Storage:

1Inserte el soporte de recursos de la serie MD.

Dependiendo del sistema operativo, el instalador se puede iniciar automáticamente. Si el instalador no se inicia automaticamente, navegue al directorio raíz del soporte de instalación (o imagen del instalador descargado) y ejecute el archivo md_launcher.exe. Para sistemas basados en Linux, vaya a la raíz del soporte de recursos y ejecute el archivo autorun.

NOTA: de manera predeterminada, el sistema operativo Red Hat Enterprise Linux monta el soporte de recursos con la opción –noexec mount, la cual no permite ejecutar archivos ejecutables. Para cambiar esta configuración, vaya al archivo Léame en el directorio raíz del soporte de instalación.

2Seleccione Install MD Storage Software (Instalar el software MD Storage).

3Lea y acepte el contrato de licencia.

4Seleccione una de las siguientes opciones de instalación del menú desplegable Install Set (Conjunto de instalación)

Full (recommended) (Total [recomendado]): instala el software MD Storage Manager (cliente), el agente de almacenamiento basado en host, el controlador multirruta y los proveedores de hardware.

Host Only (Solamente host): instala el agente de almacenamiento basado en host y los controladores multirruta.

Management (Administración): instala el software de administración y los proveedores de hardware.

Personalizado: permite seleccionar componentes especificos.

5Seleccione los modelos de matrices de almacenamientos MD que está configurando para que sirvan como almacenamiento de datos para este servidor host.

6Elija si desea iniciar el servicio de monitor de eventos automática o manualmente al reiniciar el servidor host

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.
