Installing and Configuring the Storage Management Software

The PowerVault MD3200i and MD3220i storage software installer provides
features that include the core software, providers, and optional utilities.
The core software feature includes the host-based storage agent, multipath
driver, and MDSM application used to configure, manage and monitor the
storage array solution.
The providers feature includes a provider for the Microsoft Virtual Disk
Service (VDS) and Microsoft Volume Shadow-Copy Service (VSS)
frameworks as well as a provider for the SNIA Storage Management Initiative
Specification (SMI-S) standard.
The Modular Disk Configuration Utility (MDCU) is an optional utility that
provides a consolidated approach for configuring the management ports,
iSCSI host ports, and creating sessions for the iSCSI Modular Disk storage
arrays. It is recommended that you use MDCU to configure iSCSI on each
host connected to the PowerVault MD3200i or MD3220i.
