Note: Unless specified, all information in this document is applicable to the latest RAID controller firmware version available at Dell.com/support. 6 Dell™ PowerVault™ MD Series Support Matrix | A17 2 Changes in version A17 7 Updated the supported physical disks section Updated version of CFW Updated the supported Operating Systems section Updated storage arrays rules Dell™ PowerVault™ MD Series Support Matrix | A17 3 Supported data protocols Table 1 Dell PowerVault MD-Series models and supported data protocols Dell PowerVault MD array model 3 Data protocol MD34001 12 Gbps direct attached SAS storage array with 12 drives (3.5 inch) MD34201 12 Gbps direct attached SAS storage array with 24 drives (2.5 inch) MD3800i1 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage array with 12 drives (3.5 inch) MD3820i1 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage array with 24 drives (2.5 inch) MD3800f1 16 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) network storage array with 12 drives (3.5 inch) MD3820f1 16 Gbps FC network storage array with 24 drives (2.5 inch) MD34602 12 Gbps direct attached SAS storage dense array MD3860i2 10 Gbps iSCSI network storage dense array MD3860f2 16 Gbps FC network storage dense array NOTES: 1 Dell PowerVault MD3400, MD3420, MD3800i, MD3820i, MD3800f, and MD3820f models support 120 physical disk drive slots in base configuration. With premium feature activation, 192 physical disk drive slots are supported. 2 Dell PowerVault MD3x60i/MD3x60f dense array has default 120 drive slots support (with 20 drives minimum), and 180 drive slots support with PFK. 3 Premium Feature Key (PFK) is optional on all models. 8 Dell™ PowerVault™ MD Series Support Matrix | A17 4 Dell PowerVault MD-Series storage array rules This section contains both general and model-specific connectivity and consideration rules for Dell PowerVault MD storage arrays. The rules listed in Table 2 apply only to all storage array models. For rules applying to specific Dell PowerVault MD models, see Table 3 and Table 4. Note: The Dell PowerVault MD3460, MD3860i, and MD3860f platforms are supported in dualRAID controller (duplex) configurations only. Table 2 MD-Series Storage Array rules for all models MD34x0 Series MD38x0i series MD38x0f series 12 Gbps SAS 10 Gbps iSCSI 16 Gbps FC Rule Maximum number of host servers a single storage array can connect to with one RAID controller module installed 4 64 64 Maximum number of host servers a single storage array can connect to with two RAID controller modules installed 8 (4, if using high availability) 64 64 2 (each card has two ports) N/A N/A N/A N/A 2 (HA) 4 4 A hot-spare for a disk group must be a physical disk drive of equal or greater size than any of the member disks. When using out-of-band management with SMcli by specifying the RAID controller management port IP addresses on the Dell PowerVault MD Storage Array, SMcli commands that change the attributes of a virtual disk, virtual disk copy, or snapshot virtual disk, must have management access to the owning RAID controller module. Where applicable, it is a best practice to specify both management port IP addresses on the SMcli invocation: SMcli 192.168.129.101 192.168.129.102 –c (2U Array) SMcli 192.168.128.101 192.168.128.102 –c (4U Dense Array) Maximum number of Dell 12 Gbps SAS HBA cards supported in a single host server attached to single array. (Dell recommends you to use two Dell 12Gb SAS HBA cards for all redundant cabling configurations.) Unused ports on a Dell 12 Gbps SAS HBA card already connected to a Dell PowerVault MD3460 cannot connect to another device (such as a tape drive or other model storage array). Maximum number of Dell PowerVault MD Series Storage Arrays a host server may connect to. 9 Dell™ PowerVault™ MD Series Support Matrix | A17 MD34x0 Series MD38x0i series MD38x0f series 12 Gbps SAS 10 Gbps iSCSI 16 Gbps FC Rule On Linux systems, Device Mapper multipath drivers are required for multipath support. Coexistence of several Linux multi-path drivers is not supported. When using a Dell PowerVault MD3400 or MD3800 series array with Linux host servers, only the Linux Device Mapper failover driver is supported.** Virtual disks on Dell PowerVault MD Series Storage Arrays cannot be used for booting. Disk Groups can be migrated between a Dell PowerVault MD3460/3860i/3860f by following the appropriate disk group migration procedure*** Maximum size of a virtual disk in a dynamic disk pool: 64TB Disk pools cannot be migrated. 1024 TB 1024 TB 1024 TB N/A N/A Maximum capacity (disk space) for each array for dynamic disk pooling. Maximum SSD cache size allowed depends on the installed RAM per controller: ∞ 4GB RAM per controller supports up to 4TB SSD read cache ∞ 8GB RAM per controller supports up to 5TB SSD read cache All iSCSI host ports on a controller must have the same port speed Maximum 12 Gbps SAS cable length supported is 6m. 10 Dell™ PowerVault™ MD Series Support Matrix | A17 MD34x0 Series MD38x0i series MD38x0f series 12 Gbps SAS 10 Gbps iSCSI 16 Gbps FC Rule If the iSCSI initiators are connected to Dell PowerVault MD3800i series through the network switches, make sure that your switches support IEEE 802.3x flow control, and the flow control is enabled for both sending and receiving on all switch ports and server NIC ports. If you do not enable the flow control, your iSCSI storage array may experience the degradation of the I/O performance. In addition to enabling the Ethernet IEEE 802.3x flow control, Dell recommends that you disable unicast broadcast storm control on the switch ports connected to the iSCSI initiators and target arrays and turn on the "PortFast" mode of the spanning tree protocol (STP) on the switch ports connected to the iSCSI initiators and target arrays. N/A N/A For optimal I/O performance, avoid having more than one iSCSI session originating from one host iSCSI port to the same controller. Ideally, the iSCSI host NIC must connect to only one iSCSI target port on the storage subsystem. N/A N/A For Dell-Oracle Tested and Validated solutions on the Dell PowerVault MD arrays, refer to the following site http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprisesolutions/w/oracle_solutions/current-release.aspx The number of Virtual Disk (VD) copies is limited to a maximum of 511 with a maximum of 8 concurrent copies (applicable to RAID controller firmware version 08.10.05.60 or later). Remote replication is not supported in simplex mode. N/A For Fibre Channel and iSCSI controllers, if you use the SAS host ports, they must be connected to a SAS HBA on a separate host. N/A Maximum number of iSCSI sessions N/A 512 per port N/A Note that turning on the "PortFast" mode is different from turning off the whole operation of STP on the switch. With "PortFast" on, STP is still enabled on the switch ports. Turning off STP may affect the entire network and can leave the network vulnerable to physical topology loops. 11 Dell™ PowerVault™ MD Series Support Matrix | A17 MD34x0 Series MD38x0i series MD38x0f series 12 Gbps SAS 10 Gbps iSCSI 16 Gbps FC Rule Replication within iSCSI topology between MD32x0i, MD36x0i, or MD38x0i arrays is supported regardless of connection speed. Replication between iSCSI and FC topology is not supported. N/A N/A Replication within FC topology between MD36x0f or MD38x0f arrays is supported regardless of connection speed. Replication between iSCSI and FC topology is not supported. N/A N/A Online Physical Disk Firmware Upgrade is supported When using physical disks of 6 TB or larger capacity, it is recommended to use either a RAID 6 Disk Group or a Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP). Due to the increased amount of time taken to reconstruct and copy-back, the chances for a second drive failure increases on either a RAID 1/10 or a RAID 5 Disk Group. Data Assurance capable drives are supported in the array, however the Data Assurance feature is not an available option for these arrays. Table 3 Dell PowerVault MD-Series Storage Array rules for non-dense, 2U models only (Dell PowerVault MD3400, MD3420, MD3800i, MD3820i, MD3800f, and MD3820f). MD3400 series MD3800i series MD3800f series 12 Gbps SAS 10 Gbps iSCSI 16 Gbps Fibre Channel Rule Support for up to 120 physical disk drive slots (system default configuration). Up to nine MD1200 and/or MD1220 series expansion enclosures can be attached to a Dell PowerVault MD storage array.
