Series Group Administration manual.

Table 10 Advanced Administration Tasks

Task Description

Add network connections to a

group member

Multiple network connections increase performance and availability and

are required for multipath I/O. Dell recommends that you connect all the

network interfaces on both control modules to multiple network

switches and then use the GUI or CLI to assign an IP address and

netmask to the interfaces.

Create administration

accounts

The grpadmin account is the default administration account. Dell

recommends you set up additional accounts for each administrator, and

reserve the default grpadmin account for maintenance operations such

as firmware upgrades.

Accounts can be configured to be authenticated through the PS Series

group, or using LDAP or Active Directory authentication.

Set up event notification To be informed of significant events in a timely manner, set up e-mail or

syslog notification.

Configure SNMP To monitor traps from the group, you can use SNMP. In addition, you

need to configure SNMP to use the Manual Transfer Utility and other

third-party monitoring tools.

Configure iSNS To automate iSCSI target discovery, you can configure the group to use

an iSNS server.

Configure CHAP accounts You can use CHAP to restrict computer access to volumes. Both initiator

and target CHAP authentication are supported.

Modify the date, time, or time

zone or configure NTP

Group time is based on the clock on the first member, which is set at the

factory. The default time zone is EST. You can also configure the group

to use an NTP server.

Task Description

Add a member to the group Although a one-member group is fully functional, adding more arrays

expands capacity, increases network bandwidth, and improves overall

group performance, with no disruption to data availability.

Create pools With multi-member groups, you can create multiple pools and assign

members and volumes to the pools for a tiered storage solution.

Set up a dedicated

management network

You can set up a separate management network for security purposes.

Create snapshots of a volume Snapshots are point-in-time copies of volume data that can be used for

backups.

Create schedules for snapshots

or replicas

Schedules enable you to regularly create snapshots or replicas of a

volume.
