Introduction

This document provides information on supported software and hardware for Dell PowerVault MD3260, MD3260i,

MD3660i, MD3660f and MD3060e series storage arrays as well as usage considerations, recommendations and rules.

NOTE: Unless specified, all information in this document is applicable to the latest version of firmware and software

listed below.

Dell PowerVault MD3260/3260i/3660i/3660f/3060e Series Storage Array Rules*

The following are the connectivity and consideration rules for MD3260, MD3260i, MD3660i, and MD3660f series arrays:

RULE

MD3260

(SAS)

MD3260i

(1Gbps

iSCSI)

MD3660i

(10Gbps

iSCSI)

MD3660f

(8Gbps

Fibre

Channel)

Notes

MD3260, MD3260i, MD3660i & MD3660f platforms are

supported in a duplex controller configuration only.

√

Adding MD3660i or MD3660f enclosures to a non-

MD3660i/MD3660f configuration.

Not

supported

Not

supported

Supported

Simplex configuration is not supported.

√

Maximum number of host servers a single storage array

can connect to with two RAID Controller Modules

installed:

8 (4 if

using high

availability)

Maximum number of Dell 6GbSAS HBA cards supported

in a single host server attached to single array. (It is

recommended to use two Dell 6Gb SAS HBA cards for all

redundant cabling configurations.)

2 (each

card has

two ports)

N/A

Unused ports on a Dell 6Gb SAS HBA card already

connected to an MD3260 cannot be connected to another

device (such as a tape drive or other model storage

array).

√

N/A

Maximum number of MD Series Dense Storage Arrays a

host server may connect to:

2 (HA)

Connecting an MD3260 series SAS array, an MD3260i

series iSCSI array and an MD3660i series iSCSI array to

the same host is supported.

√

The I/O co-

existence

between the

Fibre

Channel

and any

other

protocol on

same host

is not

supported.

Support for up to 180 physical disks through a premium

feature option.

√

Up to two additional MD3060e series expansion

enclosures can be attached to MD3660i/MD3660f storage

arrays for a total of 3 enclosures.

√

Support for up to 120 physical disks (system default

configuration).

√

Applicable

to firmware

version

07.84.xx.xx

A minimum of 20 HDDs is required in each

MD3660i/MD3660f enclosure

N/A

√

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

equal or greater size than any of the member disks.

√

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. Where

applicable it is best practice to specify both management

port IP addresses on the SMcli invocation: SMcli

192.168.128.101 192.168.128.102 -c.

√

On Linux systems Device Mapper multi-pathing drivers

are required for multi-path support

√

Virtual disks on MD Series Dense Storage Arrays cannot

be used for booting.

√

Disk Groups can be migrated between a Dell PowerVault

MD3260/3260i/3660i/3660f by following the appropriate

Disk Group migration procedure***

√

Disk pools cannot be migrated.

√

All iSCSI Host ports on a controller have to be at the

same port speed

N/A

Only

1Gbps

Supported

√

N/A

iSCSI Host ports will only auto-negotiate to the port speed

set in MDSM

N/A

Only

1Gbps

Supported

√

N/A

If the iSCSI initiators are connected to MD3260i and/or

MD3660i series through the network switches, make sure

that your switches support IEEE 802.3x flow control, and

the flow control is enabled for both sending and receiving

on all switch ports and server NIC ports.

If you do not enable the flow control, your iSCSI storage

array may experience the degradation of the I/O

performance.

In addition to enabling the Ethernet IEEE 802.3x flow

control it is also recommended to disable unicast

broadcast storm control on the switch ports connected to

the iSCSI initiators and target arrays and turn on the

"PortFast" mode of the spanning tree protocol (STP) on

the switch ports connected to the iSCSI initiators and

target arrays.

Please note that turning the "PortFast" mode on is

different from turning off the whole operation of STP on

the switch. With "PortFast" on, the STP is still enabled on

the switch ports. Do not turn STP off because it may

affect the entire network and can leave the network

vulnerable to physical topology loops.

N/A

√

N/A

To get the optimal I/O performance, avoid having more

than one iSCSI session originating from one host iSCSI

port to the same controller. Ideally, the iSCSI host NIC

should be connected to only one iSCSI target port on the

storage subsystem.

Supported Controller Firmware and NVSRAM

NOTE: It is advisable to gather support information before performing any firmware upgrade. This can be performed from

the Support tab of the MD Storage Manager application.

NOTE: Only drivers and firmware released by Dell are supported. For the latest driver and firmware releases, see the

Downloads section at support.dell.com.

To determine your firmware and NVSRAM levels:

1. From a management station, connect to the storage array using MD Storage Manager.

2. Select the Support tab.

3. Click on Storage Array Profile and look for the firmware and NVSRAM versions.
