Introduction

This document provides information on supported software and hardware for Dell PowerVault MD3200

Series, MD3200i Series and MD3600i Series storage arrays as well as usage considerations,

recommendations and rules.

DellPowerVaultM3200,MD3200iandMD3600iSeriesRules

The following are the connectivity and consideration rules for the MD3200 Series, MD3200i Series and MD3600i

Series arrays:

RULE MD3200 & MD3220 (SAS) MD3200i & MD3220i

(1Gbps iSCSI) MD3600i & MD3620i

(10Gbps iSCSI)

Maximum number of host

servers a single MD3200

Series array can connect to

with one RAID Controller

Module installed:

4 32 64

Maximum number of host

servers a single MD3200

Series array can connect to

with two RAID Controller

Modules installed:

8 (4 if using high

availability)

32 64

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) Not applicable to iSCSI

configurations

Not applicable to iSCSI

configurations

Unused ports on a Dell 6Gb

SAS HBA card already

connected to an MD3200

cannot be connected to

another device (such as a

tape drive or other model

storage array).

√Not applicable to iSCSI

configurations

Not applicable to iSCSI

configurations

Maximum number ofMD3200

Series or MD3600 Series

arrays a host server may

connect to:

2 (HA) 4 4

Connecting a MD3200 Series

SAS array, a MD3200i Series

iSCSI array and a

MD3600iSeries iSCSI array

to the same host is

supported.

√√√

TOTAL of 96 slots ---

Up to seven MD1200 Series

expansion enclosures can be

attached to a MD3200 or

MD3600 array. A mixture of

MD1200 and MD1220

enclosures for a total of 96

SAS physical disks.

√√√

Attached MD1200 Series

expansion enclosures must

√√√

be run in unified mode.

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 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".

√√√

Co-existence of multiple

Linux multi-pathing drivers is

not supported. When using a

MD3200 Series or MD3600

Series array with Linux host

servers only the Linux

Device Mapper failover driver

is supported. **

√√√

On Linux systems Device

Mapper multi-pathing drivers

are required for multi-path

support

√√√

Virtual disks on an MD3200

Series or MD3600 Series

cannot be used for booting.

√√√

RAID 5 and RAID 6 disk

groups are limited to a

maximum of 30 physical

disks

√√√

Disk Groups can be migrated

between a Dell PowerVault

MD3200 or MD3200i or

MD3600i by following the

appropriate Disk Group

migration procedure***

√√√

All iSCSI Host ports on a

controller have to be at the

same port speed

Not Applicable for SAS Only 1Gbps Supported √

iSCSI Host ports will only

auto-negotiate to the port

speed set in MDSM

Not Applicable for SAS Only 1Gbps Supported √

Only single path iSCSI boot

is supported for all Linux

OS’s. Multi-path iSCSI boot

on Linux is not supported.

Not Applicable for SAS √ √

* Refer to the Hardware Installation section of the MD3200 or MD3200i or MD3600i Series Owner’s

Manual.

** Dell Linux MPP drivers for the MD3000 can coexist with the Device Mapper driver used for the MD3200

and MD3600 series. Refer to coexistence whitepaper for supporting MD3000, MD3200 and MD3600 series

products on a single host.

*** Refer to the Disk Group Migration section of the MD3200 or MD3200i or MD3600i Series Owner’s

Manual.

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:

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

Select the Support tab.

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