Before You Begin

NOTE:

Throughout the document, Dell PowerVault MD3200i series storage array

refers to both Dell PowerVault MD3200i and Dell PowerVault MD3220i. Dell

PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosure refers to both Dell PowerVault

MD1200 and Dell PowerVault MD1220.

Before setting up your Dell PowerVault MD3200i 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).

• 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 4. 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.

• If multiple NICs are installed on a host, it is recommeded that you use

different subnets for management and iSCSI data links.

• Throughout the network, always use a Category 5e (or higher)

Ethernet cable.

• 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

MD3200i series storage array in a SAN environment. The illustrations also show

only the default IP addresses for the PowerVault MD3200i series storage array. To

cable more than one PowerVault MD3200i series storage array in a SAN

environment, see the Deployment Guide.

Getting Started With Your System

•The

SMI-S Programmer’s Guide

provides information about using

the SMI-S provider and SMI-S programming.

• 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.

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 (up to four NICs).

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 or four unique subnets for iSCSI traffic.

For direct-attached storage environments, each NIC directly connected to

the PowerVault MD3200i series storage array must be on a separate subnet.

WARNING:

Before performing the following procedure, review the safety

instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item with the packing list that shipped

with your system.

Installing the Rails and System in a Rack

Assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety

instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your system.

NOTE:

To balance the weight load, it is recommended that you install the

PowerVault MD3200i series storage array at the bottom of the rack and the

PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosures above it.

Getting Started With Your System

11

Connecting the Power Cable(s)

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the

power cables. Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.

Securing the Power Cable(s)

Secure the cable(s) firmly to the bracket using the provided strap.

Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or

a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or

a power distribution unit (PDU). Each power supply must be connected to a

separate power circuit.

Installing the MD Storage Software

NOTE:

For detailed instructions about installing the MD storage software, setting

up the enclosure, and the post-installation tasks, see the Deployment Guide.

The MD Storage Manager software configures, manages and monitors the

storage array. The MD Configuration Utility (MDCU) is an optional utility

that provides a consolidated approach for configuring the management and

14

Getting Started With Your System

iSCSI host ports, and creating sessions for the iSCSI modular disk storage

arrays. It is recommended that you use MDCU to configure iSCSI on each

host server connected to the storage array. To install the MD storage software:

1

Insert the MD series resource media.

Depending on your operating system, the installer may launch

automatically. If the installer does not launch automatically, navigate to

the root directory of the installation media (or downloaded installer

image) and run the

md_launcher.exe

file. For Linux-based systems,

navigate to the root of the resource media and run the

autorun

file.

NOTE:

By default, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system mounts the

resource media with the -noexec mount option which does not allow you to

run executable files. To change this setting, see the Readme file in the root

directory of the installation media.

If applicable, activate any premium features purchased with your storage

array. If you purchased premium features, see the printed activation card

shipped with your storage array.

NOTE:

The MD Storage Manager installer automatically installs the required

drivers, firmware, and operating system patches/hotfixes to operate your storage

array. These drivers and firmware are also available at support.dell.com. In

addition, see the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals for any additional

settings and/or software required for your specific storage array.

Locating Your Service Tag

Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag

number. The Express Service Code and Service Tag are found on the front of

the system and at the back of the system next to the RAID controller

modules. This information is used by Dell to route support calls to the

appropriate personnel.
