AlexZanderPugliese Upgrading iSCSI sessions? 2 Friday, 6:12 AM EDT by MrMal
Thread started: Aug 18 2010, 12:50 PM EDT  Watch
Hey everyone,

I have a Dell Powervault MD3000i and I am currently trying to upgrade my iSCSI sessions. My question is whether I can do this by upgrading the RAM in my system or not.

Thanks!!

Hi

I need to upgrade our MD3000i from firmware 06.70.17.60 to 07.xx to fix a couple of bugs and generally get us up to date. Have any of you been through this process and do I (somehow) need to make sure I have a backup of the entire SAN before I do it? I am at a loss as to how I'm supposed to take down the 20 VM's on the SAN (VMware ESX environment) and backup over 9Tb of data!

Appreciate any help you can offer me with this!

Many thanks
Toby

Darkinsideme Scripted installation of MD3000i a 0 Jun 8 2010, 11:56 AM EDT by Darkinsideme

Does anyone know if we can script the install of the MD3000i, such as volumes, RAID levels, IP addresses, iSCSI addresses, etc? We want to have Dell ship the MD3000i’s systems to their retail sites, then run the install script for the MD3000i, so that it is ready for other scripts they will run for remote setup/integration.

I also plan on using DMC to catch alerts (from the MD3000i) by loading MD Storage Array sfw on our DMC host vm. Please correct if I am wrong there as well.

Thanks,

Darkinsideme
