Preparing Your Systems for Clustering 47
Setting Up Zoning on the Fibre Channel Switch Hardware
Setting up zoning on Fibre Channel switches varies greatly between
manufacturers. For detailed information on how to set up zoning on your
switch, see the manufacturer’s product documentation or technical support
website.
Table 3-1 provides a list of WWN identifiers that you can find in the Dell
PowerVault MD36x0f cluster environment.
CAUTION: When you replace a Fibre Channel HBA in a PowerEdge server,
reconfigure your zones to provide continuous client data access. Additionally,
when you replace a switch module, reconfigure your zones to prevent data loss or
corruption.
Installing the Storage Management Software
The PowerVault MD3600f and MD3620f storage software installer provides
features that include the core software, providers, and optional utilities. The
core software feature includes the host-based storage agent, MPIO software,
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.
