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

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.
