Getting Started With Your System

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.

NOTE: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an optional iSCSI authentication

method where the storage array (target) authenticates iSCSI initiators on the host server. For more

information, see “Understanding CHAP Authentication” in the Deployment Guide.

Other Documentation and Media You May Need

WARNING:

See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with

your system. Warranty information may be included within this document or

as a separate document.

NOTE:

All PowerVault MD3600i series storage array documents are available at

support.dell.com/manuals.

• The rack documentation included with your rack solution describes how

to install your system into a rack.

•The

Owner’s Manual

provides information about system features and

describes how to troubleshoot the system and install or replace system

components.

•The

Deployment Guide

provides information about installing and

configuring the software and hardware.

•The

CLI Guide

provides information about using the command line

interface (CLI) to configure and manage your storage array.

•The

SMI-S Provider Installation Guide

provides information about

installing the SMI-S provider.

• Any media that ships with your system that provides documentation

and tools for configuring and managing your system, including those

pertaining to the operating system, system management software,

system updates, and system components that you purchased

with your system.

NOTE:

Always check for updates on support.dell.com/manuals and read the

updates first because they often supersede information in other documents.

Getting Started With Your System

Preparing the Host Server

Supported Operating Systems

• Microsoft Windows Server

• 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.

Common Configurations

Cabling Your SAN-Attached Hosts

Connect all cables between the servers, switches, and storage arrays as shown

in the following illustration. For more examples of cabling the storage arrays,

see the Deployment Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
