Dell Storage Initialization Wizard Does Not

PowerVault MD3000 Storage Array if a Dummy

Host is Registered

You can register a maximum of two hosts (or cluster nodes) with the

PowerVault MD3000 storage array using the Dell Storage Initialization Wizard.

The wizard does not register additional hosts after two hosts have been

registered. You may encounter an error condition where you are not allowed to

encounter this error, verify to ensure that a dummy host is not registered.

NOTE:

A dummy host is created either when a host is renamed or when an existing

host is turned off. This host is not operational but it is visible to the storage array.

You can delete the dummy host from the storage array using the Dell PowerVault

Modular Disk Storage Manager.

Assigning LUNs/Volumes to a Cluster via Storage

Manager for SANs

The Assign function in Storage Manager for SANs only exposes the

LUN/Volumes to the hosts and does not assign it to the cluster group.

To assign the LUN/volume to a cluster group, perform the following steps:

1 Assign the LUN to the cluster.

2 Verify that the LUN has been assigned to the Host Group in PowerVault

Modular Disk Storage Manager.

3 In Disk Management, verify that the disk is basic and assign it a drive letter.
