Before You Begin
NOTE:
Throughout the document, Dell PowerVault MD3600i series storage
array refers to both Dell PowerVault MD3600i and Dell PowerVault MD3620i.
Dell PowerVault MD1200 series expansion enclosure refers to both
Dell PowerVault MD1200 and Dell PowerVault MD1220.
Before setting up your Dell PowerVault MD3600i series 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 MD3600i series storage array 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 14.
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 5. 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.
4
Getting 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
MD3600i series storage array in a SAN environment. The illustrations also show only
the default IP addresses for the PowerVault MD3600i series storage array. To cable more
than one PowerVault MD3600i series 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.

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 MD3600i series storage array 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.

NOTE:
For the latest information on all supported operating system versions,
see the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals.
Additional NICs for iSCSI
When installing additional NICs, it is recommended that:
You use dedicated redundant storage networks for iSCSI traffic.
If a dedicated network is not feasible, isolate the iSCSI traffic from
general network traffic using virtual local area networks (VLAN).
You use additional NICs dedicated for iSCSI traffic.
The NICs must be added in pairs for redundancy.
NOTE:
A single NIC is also supported.
NIC Configuration
In a SAN environment, depending on the number of switches, it is
recommended that you use two unique subnets for iSCSI traffic.
For direct-attached storage environments, each NIC directly connected to
the PowerVault MD36xxi must be on a separate subnet. All host IP addresses
must be configured before installing the MD storage software.

Installing the MD Storage Software
NOTE:
For detailed instructions about installing the MD storage software, setting
up the enclosure, and the post-installation tasks, see the Deployment Guide.
The MD Storage Manager software configures, manages and monitors the
storage array. The MD Configuration Utility (MDCU) is an optional utility
that provides a consolidated approach for configuring the management and
iSCSI host ports, and creating sessions for the iSCSI modular disk storage
arrays. It is recommended that you use MDCU to configure iSCSI on each
host server connected to the storage array. To install the MD storage software:
1
Insert the MD series resource media.
Depending on your operating system, the installer may launch
automatically. If the installer does not launch automatically, navigate to
the root directory of the installation media (or downloaded installer
image) and run the
md_launcher.exe
file. For Linux-based systems,
navigate to the root of the resource media and run the
autorun
file.
NOTE:
By default, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system mounts the
resource media with the -noexec mount option which does not allow you to
run executable files. To change this setting, see the Readme file in the root
directory of the installation media.
2
Select
Install MD Storage Software
.
3
Read and accept the license agreement.
4
Select one of the following installation options from the
Install Set
drop-down menu:
Full (recommended)
—Installs the MD Storage Manager (client)
software, host-based storage agent, multipath driver, and hardware
providers.
Host Only
—Installs the host-based storage agent and multipath
drivers.

Select the MD storage array model(s) you are setting up to serve as data
storage for this host server.
6
Choose whether to start the event monitor service automatically when the
host server reboots or manually
NOTE:
This option is applicable only to Windows client software installation.
7
Confirm the installation location and click
Install
.
8
If prompted, reboot the host server after the installation completes.
9
When the reboot is complete, the MDCU may launch automatically.
If the MDCU does not launch automatically, launch it manually.
In a Windows-based operating system, click
Start
Dell
Modular
Disk Configuration Utility
.
In a Linux-based operating system, double-click the
Modular Disk
Configuration Utility
icon on the desktop.
NOTE:
If MDCU is not installed, see the Deployment Guide at
support.dell.com/manuals.
10
Start the
MD Storage Manager
and discover the array(s).
11
If applicable, activate any premium features purchased with your storage
array. If you purchased premium features, see the printed activation card
shipped with your storage array.
NOTE:
The MD Storage Manager installer automatically installs the required
drivers, firmware, and operating system patches/hotfixes to operate your storage
array. These drivers and firmware are also available at support.dell.com. In
addition, see the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals for any additional
settings and/or software required for your specific storage array.
