A hot spare for a disk group must be a physical disk of

equal or greater size than any of the member disks.

When using out-of-band management with SMcli by

specifying the RAID Controller management port IP

addresses on the MD Storage Array, SMcli commands

that change the attributes of a virtual disk, virtual disk

copy, or snapshot virtual disk, must have management

access to the owning RAID Controller Module. Where

applicable, it is best practice to specify both

management port IP addresses on the SMcli invocation:

SMcli 192.168.128.101 192.168.128.102 -c.

On Linux systems Device Mapper multipathing drivers

are required for multipath support

Co-existence of several Linux multi-path drivers is not
supported. When using a MD3200 or MD3600 series
array with Linux host servers only the Linux Device
Mapper failover driver is supported.

Virtual disks on MD Series Storage Arrays cannot be

used for booting.

Disk Groups can be migrated between a Dell

PowerVault MD3260/3260i/3660i/3660f by following

the appropriate Disk Group migration procedure

Disk pools cannot be migrated.

Greater than 180 physical disks for Disk Pooling is not
currently supported.
