2׀Dell PowerVault Data MD3000i Support Matrix

Rules First

Gen.

Second

Gen.

Although a 100-Mbps host NIC is supported, 1-Gbps NICs

are highly recommended for iSCSI data transfer and

enhanced I/O performance.

√√

The management Ethernet part of the RAID controller

module must be connected to a switch port that is

configured to use Auto-Negotiate

√√

The link rate of 10Mb is not supported for iSCSI data

transmission.

√√

10/100 Mb NIC connections are supported on the

MD3000i management ports. A 100-Mbps management

link is recommended.

√√

When using multiple (NICs) in the same server, up to four

NICs per host are supported to one MD3000i array. If

multiple NICs are installed, it is recommended that

different subnets be used for management and iSCSI data

links.

√√

NIC teaming is only supported with VMware ESX server

and Citrix XenServer Dell Edition.

√√

Dell recommends that you enable your switch Spanning

Tree setting to Port Fast when using with the MD3000i

iSCSI ports and host server ethernet ports. (The Port Fast

setting allows switch ports to be in a faster forwarding

state, allowing network traffic iSCSI login sessions to be

established with minimum wait time.)

√√

Ethernet switch ports that are connected to host server

ethernet ports and MD3000i iSCSI ports may be set to

support standard frames (MTU=1500) or Jumbo Frames

(MTU=9000). For Jumbo Frame support Server NIC

Host ports, MD3000i iSCSI ports and all intermediate

network ports must have Jumbo Frame support enabled

√√

Cat 5/e or better ethernet cables are required for use with

the MD3000i

√√

DHCPv6 is not supported. √√

Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported on the iSCSI data ports. √√

For routable addresses, the IPv6 Router is required to

advertise with only 64bit prefix lengths.

√√

The management ports only support IPv4. √

The management ports support both IPv4 and IPv6. √

Dell PowerVault Data MD3000i Support Matrix l 3

Rules First

Gen.

Second

Gen.

IPv6 is supported with homogenous Microsoft Windows

2008 environments only.

√

IPv6 should be disabled on Linux targets that do not

support it to prevent login failure.

√

If using IPv6, all hosts connected to the MD3000i should

support IPv6 with the MD3000i

√√

Only one type of iSCSI initiator can be used in a host

system. For example, if the Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709

iSCSI Initiator is used, then all the iSCSI initiators in the

system must be Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 iSCSI

Initiators and the software initiator must not be used with

other NICs in the system.

√√

Table 2. Environment

Rules First

Gen.

Second

Gen.

A server can connect to a maximum of three MD3000i

storage arrays.

√√

A maximum of 16 physical host servers can be attached to

the storage array.

√√

A maximum of 32 virtual host servers can be attached to the

storage array (note: running the iSCSI initiator at the

hypervisor level counts as a single host even if the storage is

shared by all guest OSes)

√

The MD3000i supports up to eight nodes in Microsoft®

Windows Server®2003 Cluster environment and up to

sixteen nodes in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Cluster

environment.

√√

Connecting an MD3000i and an MD3000 to the same host

is not supported.

√

Table 3. Considerations

4׀Dell PowerVault Data MD3000i Support Matrix

Rules First

Gen.

Second

Gen.

When using the Microsoft or Linux iSCSI Initiator, IQN

identification must be used.

√ √

When using the Microsoft or Linux iSCSI Initiator, all

NICs in the same host will use the same iSCSI name. The

name will identify the host and the NICs will not be

identifiable.

√√

Dell MPP drivers are required for multi-path support (refer

to Table 10). Linux open framework dm-mpp (multi-path)

drivers are not supported with the MD3000i.

√√

Only the Dell Linux MPP multi-path driver should be

loaded on a Linux host server**

√√

MD3000 and MD3200 series supported on a single Linux

host**

√

Microsoft “dynamic disks” are not supported by the

Microsoft iSCSI Initiator under Windows 2003. Windows

2008 native iSCSI Initiator supports dynamic disks.

√√

Up to two Dell PowerVault MD1000 expansion enclosures

can be attached to the MD3000i for a total of 45 SAS and/or

SATA physical disks.

√√

Attached MD1000 expansion enclosures must be set to

unified mode.

√√

Virtual disk failover requires a dual-controller configuration

and at least one iSCSI session to each controller.

√√

Link failover requires at least two iSCSI connections

established to the controller.

√√

The enclosure can contain a mixture of SAS and SATA II

physical disks.

√√

SAS and SATA disks cannot be mixed in a disk group. √√

A hot spare for a disk group must be a physical disk of equal

or greater size than any of the member disks.

√√

The hot spare for a disk group with SAS physical disks must

be a SAS disk.

√√

The hot spare for a disk group with SATA physical disks

must be a SATA disk.

√√

When using out-of-band management with SMcli by

specifying the RAID Controller management port IP

addresses on the MD Storage Array, SMcli commands that

change the attributes of a virtual disk, virtual disk copy, or

snapshot virtual disk, must have management access to the

√√

owning RAID Controller Module to complete. Where

applicable it is a best practice to specify both management

port IP addresses on the SMcli invocation: "SMcli

192.168.128.101 192.168.128.102 -c".

Maximum virtual disk size cannot exceed 2 Terabytes. √

Each virtual disk is limited to a maximum of 30 physical

disks.

√

Virtual disk size can exceed 2TB and is limited by the type

of RAID group, number of drives in the RAID group and

the size of the drives (Up to 45 disks can be used in RAID 0

and 44 disks in RAID 10. RAID 5 and RAID 6 are limited to

a maximum of

30 disks).

√

The use of disk labels is recommended while mounting

LUNs on linux operating systems.

√√

Disk Groups can be migrated between a Dell PowerVault

MD3000 and a Dell PowerVault MD3000i by following the

appropriate Disk Group migration procedure*

√

Refer to MD3xxx series coexistence compatibility matrix if

you wish to use the MD3000 with the MD3000i or the

MD3200 series of arrays.

√

*Refer to Disk Group Migration section of the MDSM User’s Guide

** For 2nd Gen arrays, refer to coexistence whitepaper for supporting MD3000i and MD3200

series products on a single host.

Statement of Support

When the MD3000i is connected to non-Dell supplied networking components or

servers, Dell Technical Support will provide "best effort" technical assistance in

troubleshooting those components. For any additional support, users will be

referred to the provider of the non-Dell supplied equipment.
