J 2017 - 07 Supported Storage Systems Storage Center 7.1 is supported on the following storage systems: • SC9000 • SC8000 • SC7020 • SC4020 • SCv2000 series New in This Release The following features were added to Storage Center 7.1. Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2 Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2 is required to manage storage systems running Storage Center 7.1. Storage Center 7.1 no longer supports the browser-based GUI known as Storage Center System Manager You must install Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2 before updating a storage system to Storage Center 7.1. If you update a storage system to Storage Center 7.1 without using Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2, you will lose management connectivity to the storage system. NOTE: The storage system must be running Storage Center 6.6.4 or later to update to Storage Center 7.1. SC7020 Storage System Storage Center 7.1 introduces support for the SC7020 storage system. The SC7020 consists of a 3U chassis with dual storage controllers, redundant power supplies, and up to 30 2.5-inch hot swappable SAS hard drives. The SC7020 can be expanded up to 500 drives and it supports SC400 and SC420 12 Gb expansion enclosures and SC280 6 Gb expansion enclosures. NOTE: Support for upgrading a storage system with SC200 and SC220 expansion enclosures to an SC7020 storage system is planned for a later release. SC4020 Storage Systems with Front-End SAS Connectivity Storage Center 7.1 adds support for SC4020 storage system models with front-end SAS I/O cards. NOTE: An SC4020 storage system with front-end SAS connectivity does not support the Live Volume feature in Storage Center 7.1. 32 Gb FC I/O Card Support Storage Center 7.1 adds support for a 32 Gb Fibe Channel I/O card. Support for the 32 Gb Fibre Channel I/O card is currently limited to SC9000 storage systems with a specific configuration of switches and operating systems. See the Dell Storage Compatibility Matrix for more information. 4Kn Drive Support Storage Center 7.1 adds support for native 4K sector drives. Native 4K drives use a 4096-byte sector size instead of the legacy 512-byte sector size. 2 Dell Storage Center 7.1 Release Notes Cross-Platform Replication The cross-platform replication feature provides a method for performing volume replication between PS Series storage arrays and Storage Centers. This feature preserves the functional and operational models in the current replication implementation for each storage system. NOTE: SCv2000 series storage systems do not support cross-platform replication. Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support Storage Center 7.1 supports data center bridging (DCB) services. Dell Storage Manager displays DCB information for supported I/O cards, such as switch names and features of the switch port that an iSCSI port is plugged into. Dell Storage Manager also displays information about the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), which is used to help support DCB. Data Progression Improvements Storage Center includes changes to Data Progression that reduce the impact on Storage Center performance. Data Progression runs daily at specified time and continues until all tasks are completed. If all the tasks are not completed, those tasks are completed in the next Data Progression cycle. NOTE: Data Progression still follows the schedule set on the Storage Center. Data Reduction Data Reduction uses compression and deduplication to decrease the amount of disk space used by volume data. Compression reduces the amount of space used by a volume by encoding data. Deduplication finds duplicate data in pages then removes the duplicate data, conserving the disk space that would be used by additional copies. When deduplication is used, compression is also applied to a volume. Drive Age Reporting Storage Center 7.1 adds support for the Drive Age Reporting feature. The age of each drive is displayed as Power On Time in Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2. Federation Live Migrate Storage Center 7.1 adds support for the Federation Live Migrate feature. Federation Live Migrate allows for the online migration of a volume from one Storage Center to another Storage Center without downtime or disruption to the host server. NOTE: Federation Live Migrate is supported on SC9000, SC8000, SC7020, and SC4020 storage systems, but it is not supported on SCv2000 series storage systems. IPv6 Support for Fault Domains and Pinging Storage Center 7.1 supports IPv6 addresses in iSCSI fault domains as well as other IPv6 features. • iSCSI fault domains can be created and modified to use ports with IPv6 addresses. • Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2 can display multiple IPv6 addresses for each physical port, as well as multiple discovered gateway IPv6 addresses. • Ports can be pinged using an IPv4 or IPv6 address. NOTE: Replications between Storage Center and PS Series groups do not support IPv6. Dell Storage Center 7.1 Release Notes 3 Live Volume with Auto Failover in Microsoft Server Enviroments Storage Center 7.1 adds support for the Live Volume with Auto Failover feature in Microsoft server environments. Live Volume with Auto Failover is supported in Microsoft server environments including Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2. In addition, Live Volume with Auto Failover is supported on both Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows clustering environments including Windows clustering on VMware hosts using physical mode raw device mappings (pRDMs). NOTE: Live Volume with Auto Failover in Microsoft server environments is supported on SC9000, SC8000, SC7020 and SC4020 storage systems, but it is not supported on SCv2000 series storage systems. Online Import of Volumes from PS Series Storage Arrays An online import creates a destination volume, maps it to the server, then migrates the data to the destination volume. In Storage Center 7.1, performing an online import of volumes from PS Series storage arrays is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x, VMware ESXi 5.5 or later, and Windows Server 2008 R2 or later. Renaming Replays to Snapshots Starting in this release, Replays are now called snapshots in the Dell Storage Manager Client. SED Rekey Storage Center 7.1 supports enhancements for managing self-encrypting drives (SED). NOTE: The Self-Encrypting Drives feature must be licensed to use Secure Data. The following features have been added in Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2: • You can specify a rekey interval for a Secure Disk folder. When that interval has been reached, a rekey is triggered on each disk in the folder. A Rekey checkbox has been added to the Edit Disk Folder Settings dialog box. • You can perform an on-demand rekey of a Secure Disk folder. A new option called Rekey Disk Folder has been added to the Disks menu when a Secure Data folder is selected. • The process called Rescue Data allows you to copy volumes from a Secure Data folder to another folder. The target folder can be either a secure folder or a nonsecure folder. Use the Copy Volumes to Disk Folder operation to perform rescue data. SNMPv3 Support Storage Center 7.1 supports the use of SNMPv3 and the configuration of SNMPv3 users and trap destinations using Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2. Storage Redundancy Levels The storage redundancy recommendations and requirements for HDDs and SSDs have changed in Storage Center 7.1. NOTE: For SC7020 storage systems, the dual redundancy level is the default for all drives. Table 1. HDD Redundancy Recommendations and Requirements Disk Size Redundancy Level Up to 966 GB No recommended or required redundancy level when adding disks of this size to a new or existing page pool 967 GB to 1.9 TB Dual redundancy is recommended when adding disks of this size to a new or existing page pool 2.0 TB or larger Dual redundancy is required when adding disks of this size to a new page pool 4 Dell Storage Center 7.1 Release Notes Disk Size Redundancy Level 2.79 TB or larger Dual redundancy is required when adding disks of this size to an existing page pool Table 2. SSD Redundancy Recommendations and Requirements Disk Size Redundancy Level Up to 1.7 TB No recommended or required redundancy level when adding disks of this size to a new or existing page pool 1.8 TB to 3.9 TB Dual redundancy is recommended when adding disks of this size to a new or existing page pool 4.0 TB or larger Dual redundancy is required when adding disks of this size to a new or existing page pool T10-PI Support Storage Center 7.1 adds support for T10 Protection Information (PI) capable drives. T10 Protection Information is an end-to-end data integrity feature that protects against silent data corruption. Volume QoS Profiles Storage Center 7.1 supports Volume QoS Profiles. When the Volume QoS Profiles feature is enabled, users can create and manage profiles for Quality of Service (QoS) settings using Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2. The volume QoS feature allows users to define an arbitrary quality of service for volumes by setting hard limits on volume IOPS or throughput. Using the QoS Profiles feature, a user can apply QoS profiles to a single volume or group of volumes. By default, Dell Storage Manager provides a single default profile which is used for all volumes. Users can create their own custom profiles and apply them to volumes. VMware Virtual Volumes Support Storage Center 7.1 supports VMware Virtual Volumes (VVols) technology. VMware VVols is a storage management and integration framework designed to deliver a more efficient operational model for attached storage. A key component of the VVols framework is the VASA 2.0 Provider included as part of Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2. VASA (vSphere Storage APIs for Storage Awareness) is a software management interface between the vCenter server and storage systems. To enable VVols operations between VMware vCenter Server and a Storage Center, the VASA Provider is registered with VMware vCenter server. Storage Manager includes these user interface enhancements to support VVols: • Addition of the Register VASA Provider option to the Register Server action. • New wizards for defining and managing storage containers. A storage container is a pool of storage that is used in a VMware environment in support of virtual volumes. A storage container corresponds to a VVol datastore in the vCenter interface. • A new datastore type, VVOL, can be specified when creating datastores on a VMware vSphere host. • Updated storage views to include VVol information. See the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide and Dell Storage Manager Release Notes for information about VVols requirements and recommendations.

SCOS-9033 An SCv2000 series or SC4020 storage system running Storage Center 6.5.2 might incorrectly create swap alerts. SCOS-7943 A controller might reset if the iSCSI initiator logs out from the target, but the initiator fails to terminate the connection. SCOS-6420 An SCv2000 series controller reset might occur due to an incorrect front-end SAS I/O card critical temperature alert. SCOS-6338 Storage Center UPS monitoring does not support newer UPS network cards. SCOS-3400 The embedded iSCSI ports on an SCv2080 series storage system might reset on configurations where there is congestion at the initiator, causing flow control back to the storage system. SCOS-2570 On rare occasions, a RAID device might not be degraded properly when a second write failure is reported for the same device. SCOS-2548 An SC9000 controller might reset due to an issue during controller failover. SCOS-2534 After updating to Storage Center 6.6.5 a controller with iSCSI I/O cards might reset during a front-end rebalance, resulting in an outage. SCOS-2390 An iSCSI I/O card might send out an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request for IP on another network if it cannot find a gateway. SCOS-2386 A controller might reset if an iSCSI host sends a non-512 byte aligned first burst size when Immediate Data is enabled. SCOS-2098 Performing a non-service affecting upgrade from a CHA3 cache card to a 4 GB Write cache card might cause the upgrade to fail due to card installation errors. SCOS-1476 A controller might reset and fail-over might be unsuccessful due to an iSCSI I/O cache card memory leak with iSCSI attached Oracle and Linux servers. SCOS-1408 If TCP RX fragmentation is enabled on iSCSI I/O cards, the card might enter and exit hibernation mode, causing replications to fail. SCOS-1380 On rare occasions, a single-disk predictive failure might cause high latency because of long disk recovery during I/O. SCOS-684 A short duration AC line brownout on an SCv2000 series or SC4020 storage system might cause unnecessary controller failover. SCOS-208 Disks might get a BadRegionsPresent health code during a rebuild, even when they are down, due to the multiple RIPExpired errors. 14 Dell Storage Center 7.1 Release Notes Issue Description SCOS-206 Disks might get excessive health codes because of RIPExpired issues codes on devices that are down. Fixed Issues Related to Replication and Live Volume The following issues are fixed in Storage Center 7.1: Table 11. Fixed Replication and Live Volume Issues in Storage Center 7.1.20 Issue Description SCOS-36665 A controller reset might occur while attempting to fail over a Windows cluster on an RDM volume mapped to non-unified ESXi hosts when using Live Volume High Consistency. SCOS-35656 Live Volume proxy disk space might be counted towards the total available system disk space. SCOS-32134 Access to a volume might be lost if out of memory errors occur before the replication enters the suspending state. SCOS-7793 A storage system might fail to delete a replication when the QoS node is blocked and there is outstanding I/O. Table 12. Fixed Replication and Live Volume Issues in Storage Center 7.1.12 Issue Description SCOS-22156 The VVols feature in ESXi 6.0 Update 2 fails to work properly with Storage Center 7.1.2. SCOS-21399 A controller might reset during cross-platform replication initialization with a PS Series array. SCOS-19269 In a two controller storage system, the active controller might reset during failover after performing a Storage Center update on the peer controller. SCOS-16677 When creating a Live Volume, choosing a destination volume that is mapped to a server might cause the Live Volume to go offline. This might cause other volumes that use Deduplication or Compression on the destination Storage Center to go offline. SCOS-16377 In rare instances, a storage system with Live Volumes might reset when multiple changes are made to the Fibre Channel switch configurations within a short time period. Table 13. Fixed Replication and Live Volume Issues in Storage Center 7.1.1 Issue Description SCOS-14576 Unable to perform Storage Center to PS Series group replication if the Storage Center volume name contains Chinese, German, French, Japanese, or Spanish characters. SCOS-14065 Thin Import setup is unable to activate the destination volume on a Storage Center when iSCSI is not configured on the storage system. SCOS-13152 A cross-platform replication snapshot from a PS Series array to a Storage Center might display the wrong volume icon.
