The embedded module in a Dell Unity XT 480F system provides management functionality for the system, such as control of the storage array, monitoring of system health and performance, and management of storage resources. This embedded module allows you to manage the system through an intuitive web-based interface or via command-line interface.

Synchronous replication will provide a zero RPO as all data is written to both the primary and secondary storage at the same time, which means any data written to the primary storage will be instantly available on the secondary storage. This configuration will ensure that the data is protected against system outage, and in case of any failure, the recovery time will be a maximum of 15 minutes as the data is already replicated to the secondary site.

An install of the PowerStore ImportKIT is required on the hosts to support import to PowerStore.

An administrator can use a user quota to limit the amount of storage that the user consumes on a Dell PowerStore system. A user quota is a limit that is set on the quota tree, which is a hierarchical structure that organizes storage resources and sets limits on how much storage can be used at each level. The user quota is applied to a specific user or group of users and limits the amount of storage that can be consumed by that user or group of users.

Page 20-21. The smallest RAID 5 stripe width the system supports is a 4+1. The smallest dynamic pool created with the RAID 5 4+1 configuration is 6 drives. The minimum drive count includes the number of drives specified in the stripe width, plus the hot spare capacity. The hot spare capacity is selected by the user at pool creation, and can either be set to 1 or 2 drives for every 32 drives in the pool.

The maximum number of data drives that can be put in to a Dell PowerStore 1000T base enclosure is 21. The Dell PowerStore 1000T has a 2U form factor, and it supports a maximum of 21 drives in the base enclosure. The drives can be either SAS or NVMe, and it's important to keep in mind that the maximum capacity of the system depends on the type of drives that are used. It's important to note that the PowerStore 1000T supports up to 2 expansion shelves that can hold an additional 21 drives each, for a maximum of 63 drives in total. Also, the PowerStore 1000T supports up to 4 NVRAM modules that are used to cache metadata and improve performance.

In Dell Unity XT storage systems, a dynamic pool is built using drive partnership groups. A drive partnership group is a group of drives that are combined to create a pool. A drive partnership group can be made up of SAS, NL-SAS, or Flash drives. In this case, the customer has a single pool built from 24x 800 GB SAS Rash 3 drives and 24x 1 6 TB SAS Rash 3 drives, and 14x 400 SAS Flash 2 drives. All drives are SAS type, and it's only one partnership group.

These categories are divided in tabs: Overview, Capacity, and Performance.

The maximum number of SAS buses per SP for a Dell Unity XT 480F without an additional SAS I/O module is 2. Each Dell Unity XT 480F has 2 Service Processors (SPs) and each SP has 2 SAS buses, for a total of 2 SAS buses per SP. SAS buses are used to connect the storage drives to the SPs and to the storage array. Each bus can support multiple drives and provide high-speed data transfer between the drives and the SPs.

iSCSI offload is a network option that can be configured to provide the best iSCSI performance on a Dell Unity XT array. This option offloads iSCSI processing to the network adapter card, reducing the load on the host CPU and improving performance. With iSCSI offload enabled, the network adapter card can handle iSCSI processing tasks such as packet segmentation and reassembly, reducing the CPU overhead associated with iSCSI operations. Other options such as using a single VLAN for all traffic, configuring jumbo frames and disabling flow control may also help to improve iSCSI performance but iSCSI offload would provide the best results. It is important to note that configuring jumbo frames could have a positive impact on performance, but it also depends on the network infrastructure and the NICs support for it. Disabling flow control could cause issues on congested networks, so it's important to test it before disabling it.
