Non-disruptive firmware upgrades
Enables controller firmware upgrades to occur with no interruption to data access. The new
firmware is transferred to the first controller, its flash memory is updated, and the controller is
rebooted. The firmware is then passed from the first controller to the second, and the process is
repeated. With a multi-path driver installed, access to all storage arrays' virtual disks is
maintained throughout the process.
iSCSI Support
The MD3200i series of storage arrays support all industry-standard GbE switches and NICs. The MD3200i
series of arrays do not support 10/100 directly connected to the array with the exception being the
management port.
The free initiators that ship with the Windows and Linux operating systems are the preferred
connectivity choice for the arrays. These initiators provide ample performance for this class of array.

The MD3200i series of storage arrays support the following operating systems:
•
Microsoft Windows 2008
•
Microsoft Windows 2003
•
Microsoft Hyper-V

RedHat Enterprise Linux
