Management station—On a management station, MDSM communicates
with the storage array either through an Ethernet connection to the
storage array management port or though an Ethernet connection to a
host server, which passes management information between the
management station and the storage array using FC connections.
Using MDSM, you can configure the physical disks in the storage array into
logical components called disk groups and then divide the disk groups into
virtual disks. Disk groups are created in the unconfigured capacity of a storage
array. Virtual disks are created in the free capacity of a disk group.
Unconfigured capacity comprises of physical disks not already assigned to a
disk group. When a virtual disk is created using unconfigured capacity, a disk
group is automatically created. If the only virtual disk in a disk group is
deleted, the disk group is also deleted. Free capacity is space in a disk group
that is not assigned to any virtual disk.
Data is written to the physical disks in the storage array using RAID
technology. RAID levels define the way in which data is written to physical
disks. Different RAID levels offer different levels of accessibility, redundancy,
and capacity. You can set a specified RAID level for each disk group and
virtual disk on your storage array.
For more information about using RAID and managing data in your storage
solution, see the Owner's Manual at support.dell.com/manuals.
System Requirements
Before installing and configuring the MD3600f series hardware and software,
ensure that the operating system is supported and minimum system
requirements are met. For more information, see the Support Matrix at
support.dell.com/manuals.
A management station uses MDSM to configure and manage storage arrays
across the network. A management station must meet the following
minimum system requirements:
•
Intel Pentium or an equivalent processor (333 MHz or faster) with 512 MB
RAM (1024 MB recommended)
•
1 GB disk space
•
Display resolution of 1024x768 with 16 million colors (1280x1024 32-bit
