individual storage unit and PowerVault NX1950 storage solution refers to the

configuration of the storage unit along with the storage arrays.

Solution Overview

The PowerVault NX1950 storage solution consists of either a single-node or a

multiple-node cluster configuration running the Windows Unified Data

Storage Server 2003 operating system. The solution is configured from Dell

for either a PowerVault MD3000 storage array (integrated solution), a

Dell|EMC storage array (Dell|EMC Storage Area Network [SAN] gateway

solution) or a Dell EqualLogic storage array (Dell EqualLogic iSCSI Storage

Area Network [SAN] gateway solution). The solution is pre-configured with

the operating system and the required software. Minimal configuration steps

are required to complete the setup of the solution.

NOTE: The default Administrator password for your system is storageserver.

Figure 1-1 illustrates the components of the integrated solution and the SAN

gateway solutions. Table 1-1 lists the supported software components for
