7Confirme la ubicación de la instalación y haga clic en Install (Instalar).

8Si se le solicita, reinicie el servidor host tras completar la instalación.

9Inicie MD Storage Manager y detecte las matrices.

NOTA: si en la red donde se conectan los puertos de administración de la matriz de almacenamiento MD no se utiliza el Protocolo de configuración dinámica de host (DHCP), se recomienda habilitar IPv6 en la estación de administración para detectar las matrices de almacenamiento.

10Configure el iniciador individual y las zonas de destino múltiples en los conmutadores Fibre Channel. Para obtener más información sobre el uso de zonas, consulte la Guía de implementación.

11Si se aplica, active cualquiera de las funciones premium adquiridas con la matriz de almacenamiento. Si ha adquirido una función premium, consulte la tarjeta de activación impresa enviada con la matriz de almacenamiento.

NOTA: el instalador de MD Storage Manager instala automáticamente los controladores, el firmware y las revisiones/correcciones urgentes del sistema operativo necesarios para que funcione la matriz de almacenamiento. Estos controladores y el firmware se encuentran disponibles en support.dell.com. Además, consulte la Matriz de compatibilidad en support.dell.com/manuals para obtener configuraciones adicionales o software necesarios para la matriz de almacenamiento específica.

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.
