Only single path iSCSI
boot is supported for all
Linux OS's. Multi-path
iSCSI boot on Linux is not
supported.
If the iSCSI Initiators are
connected to MD3200i
and/or MD3600i series
through network switches,
make sure that your
network switches support
flow control, and flow
control is enabled for both
sending and
receiving. Otherwise, the
storage controllers' IO
performance will be greatly
degraded in the case that
packages through network
switches have to be
retransmitted.
To get optimal IO
performance, avoid having
more than one iSCSI
session originating from
one host iSCSI port to the
same controller – ideally,
the iSCSI host NIC should
connect to only one iSCSI
target port on the storage
subsystem.
* Refer also to the Hardware Installation section of the MD3200 or MD3200i or MD3600i series Owner's
Manual.
** Dell Linux MPP drivers for the MD3000 can coexist with the Device Mapper driver used for the MD3200
and MD3600 series.
Refer to
"Linux DM Installation Details for Dell PowerVault MD Series Storage Arrays" for supporting MD3000,
MD3200 and MD3600 series products on a single Linux host.
*** Refer to the Disk Group Migration section of the MD3200 or MD3200i or MD3600i series Owner's
Manuals.
