Dell PowerVault MD3000i Storage Arrays
The PowerVault MD3000i networked storage array leverages the modularity and availability of the PowerVault
series to deliver an IP network storage solution that can consolidate up to 16 hosts. By extending the connectivity
capability of today’s MD3000 controller architecture, Dell is able to bring to market a low cost, easy to use,
expandable, and highly available iSCSI SAN storage arrays.
The process for configuring the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance powered by Symantec Backup Exec for
off-host backups includes:
1. Installing the Dell PowerVault MD3000i Storage Software on the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance.
2. Configuring the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance for access to the iSCSI array and snapshots that are
being protected.
3. Installing the Backup Exec options on the media server and the remote server that is being protected using
off-host backups.
4. Configuring and running off-host backup jobs.
5. Configuring and running restores of data, that has been backed up, using the off-host backup methodology
