The Dell PowerVault MD3000i
The Dell PowerVault MD3000i, announced on September 10, is an iSCSI storage array that provides an inexpensive, easy to configure storage area network (SAN) for both those enterprises that are using SANs as well as those that want to start. A key usage scenario are small-to-medium businesses that may currently be using direct attached storage for all their enterprise applications but are looking to consolidate into a SAN for better disk utilization and ease of management. The MD3000i is ideal for storage consolidation, as the first study shows.

Hey guys,
When configuring R10 via MDSM there is no "RAID 10" option. Can a customer just pick R1 and apply it to 4 or more drives? --Brian |

We have an MD3000i with SAS and SATA drives. I want to backup the volumes on the SAS drives to the SATA drives.
Is a Snapshot good enough for a backup? i.e. If the SAS raid array failed, would I be able to recover all the data from the last snapshot on the SATA drives or do I have to do a disk copy to do that? What is the difference between a Snapshot and Virtual Disk Copy? Thanks, Greg

we are getting an MD3000i to use as an iSCSI SAN (vmware, windows, linux, netware...) We spec'd it to have SAS drives for live data and SATA drives for snapshot backups. We need to have off-site backups of the SAN, but I'm not sure how to proceed and best utilize the snapshot features to offload to tape. Should I be looking for another server to hang a tape library onto to make backups of the snapshots - I'm new to using a SAN so I'm a bit lost/confused.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

I am interested in using the MD3000i to build a RHEL 5 Xen virtual server farm. Will the MD3000i work with RHEL Cluster Suite ?
