Configuration: About Your Storage Array

In-Band Management

Using in-band management, commands, events, and data travel through the

host-to-controller interface. Unlike out-of-band management, commands and

events are mixed with data.

NOTE:

For detailed information on setting up in-band and out-of-band management

see the

Deployment Guide

When you add storage arrays by using this management method, you need to

specify only the host name or IP address of the host. After you add the

specific host name or IP address, the host-agent software automatically

detects any storage arrays that are connected to that host.

CAUTION:

Some operating systems can be used only as storage management

stations. For more information about the operating system that you are using, refer
to the MD PowerVault Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals.

For more information, see the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager

online help topics.

Access Virtual Disk

Each RAID controller module in an MD3200 Series storage array maintains a

special virtual disk, called the access virtual disk. The host-agent software uses

the access virtual disk to communicate management requests and event

information between the storage management station and the RAID

controller module in an in-band–managed storage array. The access virtual

disk is not available for application data storage. The default LUN is 31.

Storage Arrays

You must add the storage arrays to MDSM before you can setup the storage

array for optimal use.

Adding Storage Arrays

You can add storage arrays only in the EMW. You can:

• Automatically discover storage arrays
• Manually add storage arrays

NOTE:

Verify that your host or management station network configuration—

including station IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway—is correct before

adding a new storage array using the Automatic option.
