Preface
This manual describes how to install Dell™ EqualLogic® PS6210 storage array hardware, configure the
software, and start using the iSCSI SAN array.
With one or more PS Series storage arrays, you can create a PS Series group—a self-managing, iSCSI
storage area network (SAN) that is affordable and easy to use, regardless of scale.
Audience
The information in this guide is intended for the administrators responsible for installing array hardware.
Administrators are not required to have extensive network or storage system experience. However, it is
helpful to understand:
•
Basic networking concepts
•
Current network environment
•
User disk storage requirements
•
RAID configurations
•
Disk storage management
Although this manual provides examples of using PS Series arrays in some common network
configurations, detailed information about setting up a network is beyond its scope.
