The Dell PowerVault MD3000i
The Dell PowerVault MD3000i, announced on September 10, is an iSCSI storage array that provides an inexpensive, easy to configure storage area network (SAN) for both those enterprises that are using SANs as well as those that want to start. A key usage scenario are small-to-medium businesses that may currently be using direct attached storage for all their enterprise applications but are looking to consolidate into a SAN for better disk utilization and ease of management. The MD3000i is ideal for storage consolidation, as the first study shows.

I am interested in using the MD3000i to build a RHEL 5 Xen virtual server farm. Will the MD3000i work with RHEL Cluster Suite ?

Seeing issues with an MD3000i (upgraded to the latest firmware) where trying to use CHAP in ESX causes the Storage Controller ESX is attempting to connect to, to reset continuously. I've tried reducing the IQN name to less thatn 30 chars to no avail.
Got a support call open with Dell but I'm hitting issues getting past Level1/2 at the moment Anyone know of a workaroung? |

Hello, we are considering the MD3000i (HA version) for our initial SAN. The system will be running connected to a host that will have 2-3 virtual servers running our hosted application. The SAN will be responsible for storing the VM images, database content and document repository.
I would like to know if you can mix and match two different drive types SAS and SATA on one platform (similar to EMC). I was thinking of using smaller, high speed drives in one LUN for the database and VM images, and higher capacity 1TB SATA drives for the document repository. Can anyone give me some basic advice and throughput guidance/specs related to the scenarios listed above? Should we just use high speed drives and avoid SATA? OR, can you mix and match? Or, could we purchase a second MD1000 unit and fill it with 1TB SATA drives (having the MD3000i using SAS)? Thanks! M.

The 3000i was going to be certified for VMWare this month. Is this goinfg to actually happen?
Is EMC playing hard to play on getting Dells' hardware ready for VMWare?
