Before You Begin

NOTE:

Throughout the document, Dell PowerVault MD3600i series storage array refers to both Dell PowerVault MD3600i and Dell PowerVault MD3620i. Dell PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosure refers to both Dell PowerVault MD1200 and Dell PowerVault MD1220.

Before setting up your Dell PowerVault MD3600i 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).

• The PowerVault MD3600i series storage array is a 10GBase-T product that requires a 10GBase-T capable infrastructure that consists of Category 6 or higher cables, 10GBase-T capable patch panels, and switches.

• Existing 1GBase-T infrastructures can be used either through a 10GBase-T switch, that interconnects the 10GBase-T network, or by manually configuring the iSCSI ports to run at 1GBase-T speeds. You can also use the Modular Disk Configuration Utility (MDCU) to configure the port speeds. For more information about MDCU, see "Installing the MD Storage Software" on page 14.

NOTE:

Auto-negotiation is not supported and the operation speed must be

configured manually.

• Throughout the network, always use a Category 6 (or higher) Ethernet cable.

• It is recommended that you use a dedicated IP SAN for iSCSI data transmission. Management traffic can be isolated on a separate management network.

• Complete the iSCSI configuration worksheet before configuring iSCSI. See "Completing the iSCSI Worksheet" on page 5. This worksheet gathers physical network information in a single source.

• After completing the iSCSI worksheet, draw the configuration before setting up the solution.

• Always configure redundant iSCSI data paths to provide alternate paths to and from the host server should one of the data paths become disabled.

Getting Started With Your System

• If multiple NICs are installed on a host, it is recommeded that you use different subnets for management and iSCSI data links.

• 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.

NOTE:

The illustrations in this document show cabling for only one PowerVault MD3600i series storage array in a SAN environment. The illustrations also show only the default IP addresses for the PowerVault MD3600i series storage array. To cable more than one PowerVault MD3600i series storage array in a SAN environment, see the Deployment Guide.

Supported Operating Systems

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

•VMware

NOTE:

For the latest information on all supported operating system versions,

see the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals.

Additional NICs for iSCSI

When installing additional NICs, it is recommended that:

• You use dedicated redundant storage networks for iSCSI traffic. If a dedicated network is not feasible, isolate the iSCSI traffic from general network traffic using virtual local area networks (VLAN).

• You use additional NICs dedicated for iSCSI traffic.

• The NICs must be added in pairs for redundancy.

NOTE:

A single NIC is also supported.

NIC Configuration

In a SAN environment, depending on the number of switches, it is recommended that you use two unique subnets for iSCSI traffic. For direct-attached storage environments, each NIC directly connected to the PowerVault MD36xxi must be on a separate subnet. All host IP addresses must be configured before installing the MD storage software.

Before performing the following procedure, review the safety

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 MD3600i series storage arrays at the bottom of the rack and the PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosures above it.

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 cable(s) 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.

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 software configures, manages and monitors the storage array. The MD Configuration Utility (MDCU) is an optional utility that provides a consolidated approach for configuring the management and iSCSI host ports, and creating sessions for the iSCSI modular disk storage arrays. It is recommended that you use MDCU to configure iSCSI on each host server connected to the storage array. To install the MD storage software:

Insert 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 navigate to the root of the resource media and run the

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.

Avant d'installer votre matrice de stockage Dell PowerVault série MD3600i, vous devez considérer certaines pratiques d'excellence pour assurer le fonctionnement le plus efficace possible de votre matrice de stockage et une redondance complète (si nécessaire).

• La matrice de stockage PowerVault MD3600i est un produit 10GBase-T exigeant une infrastructure compatible 10GBase-T constituée de câbles de catégorie 6 ou supérieure, des tableaux de connexions compatibles 10GBase-T et des commutateurs.

• Les infrastructures 1GBase-T existantes peuvent être utilisées à l'aide d'un commutateur 10GBase-T, qui interconnecte le réseau 10GBase-T, ou en configurant manuellement les ports iSCSI sur des vitesses 1GBase-T. Vous pouvez également utiliser l'utilitaire de configuration de disques modulaires (MDCU) pour configurer la vitesse des ports. Pour plus d'informations sur le MDCU, voir « Installation du logiciel MD Storage », à la page 36.

REMARQUE :

fonctionnement doit être configurée manuellement.

• Utilisez toujours un câble Ethernet de catégorie 6 (ou supérieure) à travers le réseau.

• Il vous est recommandé d'utiliser un IP SAN dédié pour la transmission des données iSCSI. La gestion de trafic peut être isolée sur un réseau de gestion distinct.

• Renseignez la liste de vérification de configuration de l'interface iSCSI avant de configurer iSCSI. Voir « Renseigner la liste de vérification de l'interface iSCSI », à la page 27. Cette liste permet de regrouper les informations de réseaux physiques en un seul endroit.

• Esquissez la configuration après avoir renseigné la liste de vérification iSCSI et avant de définir la solution.

• Configurez toujours des chemins d'accès aux données iSCSI redondants de manière à fournir différents chemins d'accès allant au serveur hôte et en sortant, dans l'éventualité d'une défaillance de l'un d'eux.

• Si plusieurs cartes réseau sont installées sur un hôte, il vous est recommandé d'utiliser plusieurs sous-réseaux pour la gestion et les liaisons de données iSCSI.

• Avant de connecter tout câble entre le serveur hôte et la matrice de stockage, étiquetez physiquement chaque port et chaque connecteur.

• Suivez toujours les procédures de mise sous et hors tension lors des cycles d'alimentation du réseau. Vous devez également vous assurer que les composants essentiels du réseau se trouvent sur différents circuits d'alimentation.
