Before You Begin

NOTE: Throughout the document, Dell PowerVault MD3200 series storage array refers to both Dell PowerVault MD3200 and Dell PowerVault MD3220. Dell PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosure refers to both Dell PowerVault MD1200 and Dell PowerVault MD1220.

Before setting up your Dell PowerVault MD3200 series storage array, you must consider certain best practices to ensure that your storage array operates at maximum efficiency and offers full redundancy (if required).

•Throughout the network, always use a Category 5e (or higher) Ethernet cable.

•Before connecting any cables between the host server and storage array, physically label each port and connector.

•Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling power across the network. You must also ensure that critical network components are on separate power circuits.

Supported Operating Systems

•Microsoft Windows Server

•Red Hat Enterprise Linux

•SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

•VMware

NOTE: For the latest information on all the supported operating system versions, see the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals.

Installation and Configuration

WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item with the packing list that shipped with your system.

Installing the Rails and System in a Rack

Assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your system.

NOTE: To balance the weight load, it is recommended that you install the PowerVault MD3200 series storage array at the bottom of the rack and the PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosures above it.

6	Getting Started With Your System

Connecting the Power Cable(s)

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the power cables. Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.

Securing the Power Cable(s)

Secure the cable(s) firmly to the bracket using the provided strap.

Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU). Each power supply must be connected to a separate power circuit.

Turning On the Enclosure

Turn on the components in the following order:

1 PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosures (if used)

NOTE: Before turning on the storage array, ensure that the expansion enclosure status LED is blue.

8	Getting Started With Your System

2 PowerVault MD3200 series storage array

NOTE: Before turning on the host server(s), ensure that the storage array status LED is blue.

3 Host server(s)

Installing the Bezel

Install the bezel (optional).

Installing the MD Storage Software

NOTE: For detailed instructions about installing the MD storage software, setting up the enclosure, and the post-installation tasks, see the Deployment Guide.

The MD Storage Manager application configures, manages, and monitors the storage array. To install the MD storage software:

1Insert the MD series resource media.

Depending on your operating system, the installer may launch automatically. If the installer does not launch automatically, navigate to the root directory of the installation media (or downloaded installer image) and run the md_launcher.exe file. For Linux-based systems, navigate to the root of the resource media and run the autorun file.

NOTE: By default, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system mounts the resource media with the -noexec mount option which does not allow you to run executable files. To change this setting, see the Readme file in the root directory of the installation media.

Getting Started With Your System		9

2Select Install MD Storage Software.

3Read and accept the license agreement.

4Select one of the following installation options from the Install Set drop-down menu:

•Full (recommended)—Installs the MD Storage Manager (client) software, host-based storage agent, multipath driver, and hardware providers.

•Host Only—Installs the host-based storage agent and multipath drivers.

•Management—Installs the management software and hardware providers.

•Custom—Allows you to select specific components.

5Select the MD storage array model(s) you are setting up to serve as data storage for this host server.

6Choose whether to start the event monitor service automatically when the host server reboots or manually

NOTE: This option is applicable only to Windows client software installation.

7Confirm the installation location and click Install.

8If prompted, reboot the host server once the installation completes.

9Start the MD Storage Manager and discover the array(s).

10If applicable, activate any premium features purchased with your storage array. If you purchased premium features, see the printed activation card shipped with your storage array.

NOTE: The MD Storage Manager installer automatically installs the required drivers, firmware, and operating system patches/hotfixes to operate your storage array. These drivers and firmware are also available at support.dell.com. In addition, see the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals for any additional settings and/or software required for your specific storage array.

Locating Your Service Tag

Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number. The Express Service Code and Service Tag are found on the front of the system and at the back of the system next to the RAID controller modules. This information is used by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.

NOM Information (Mexico Only)

The following information is provided on the device described in this document in compliance with the requirements of the official Mexican standards (NOM):

Importer:
