Getting Started With Your System 5

Before You Begin

Before setting up your Dell PowerVault MD36xxi storage array, you must

consider certain best practices to ensure that your storage array operates at

maximum efficiency and offers full redundancy (if required).

• The PowerVault MD36

i is a 10GBase-T product that requires a

10GBase-T capable infrastructure that consists of Category 6 or higher

cables, 10GBase-T capable patch panels, and switches.

• Existing 1GBase-T infrastructures can be used either through a 10GBase-T

switch, that interconnects the 10GBase-T network, or by manually

configuring the iSCSI ports to run at 1GBase-T speeds. You can also

use the Modular Disk Configuration Utility (MDCU) to configure

the port speeds. For more information about MDCU, see "Installing the

MD Storage Software" on page 16.

NOTE: Auto-negotiation is not supported and the operation speed must be

configured manually.

• Throughout the network, always use a Category 6 (or higher) Ethernet cable.

• 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 7. 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.

6Getting Started With Your System

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

different subnets for management and iSCSI data links.

• 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

MD36xxi storage array in a SAN environment. The illustrations also show only the default

IP addresses for the PowerVault MD36xxi storage array. To cable more than one

PowerVault MD36xxi storage array in a SAN environment, see the Deployment Guide.

NOTE: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an optional iSCSI authentication

method where the storage array (target) authenticates iSCSI initiators on the host server. For more

information, see “Understanding CHAP Authentication” in the Deployment Guide.

NOTE: For information about the IPv6 worksheet, see the Deployment Guide.

Other Documentation and Media You May Need

WARNING: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with

your system. Warranty information may be included within this document or

as a separate document.

NOTE: All PowerVault MD36xxi documents are available at

support.dell.com/manuals.

• The rack documentation included with your rack solution describes how

to install your system into a rack.

•The

Owner’s Manual

provides information about system features and

describes how to troubleshoot the system and install or replace system

components.

•The

Deployment Guide

provides information about installing and

configuring the software and hardware.

•The

CLI Guide

provides information about using the command line

interface (CLI) to configure and manage your storage array.

•The

SMI-S Provider Installation Guide

provides information about

installing the SMI-S provider.

• 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.
