MD Storage Manager Online Help

In some cases, the MD Storage Manager online help describes storage management features that are not supported in

this release. Additionally, some terminology used in the online help may be inconsistent.

References To Features Not Supported In This Release

The following storage management features described in the MD Storage Manager online help are not supported in this

release:

• Asynchronous Remote Replication

• Thin Provisioning

• Solid-State Disk (SSD) Caching

• Point-in-Time Virtual Disk Snapshots

• Consistent Grouping of storage management operations

As a result, while these features may be described in the online help, they are disabled (greyed out) in the MD Storage

Manager. Any feature that is not disabled in MD Storage Manager is fully supported. For detailed information, see the

MD Series Dense storage array online help or the user documentation at support.dell.com/manuals.

Terminology Related To Legacy Features

MD Storage Manager online help contains references to “legacy” versions of Remote Replication and Snapshot Virtual

Disks. In this release, this terminology - for example, Remote Replication (Legacy) and Snapshot (Legacy) - must be

disregarded.

NOTE: In future releases, legacy terminology will be used to differentiate between standard features and advanced

features. However, in this release, no advanced features are supported.
