network separate from the one you use for file share access. Create
an additional IP network resource in the cluster group containing the
iSCSI Target service resource (like Cluster Group). Configure the iSCSI
initiators to connect to the iSCSI target using the IP address of the
separate network you created.

No warning message is
displayed when you upgrade
the Dell Storage
Initialization Wizard No Warning message is displayed when you install a new version of Dell
Storage Initialization Wizard over the factory-installed version of the Dell
Storage Initialization Wizard. This feature is working as designed.
In the Integrated solution,
the Dell Storage
Initialization Wizard does
not validate the PowerVault
MD3000 Storage array name In the Dell Storage Initialization Wizard, the Configure a Name for your
PowerVault MD3000 array field does not validate the text entered. The
array field accepts all special characters such as #, @,!, $, and%, but
replaces the unsupported characters. If the length of the text exceeds 30
characters, the array field uses the previous array name of the PowerVault
MD3000 storage array without displaying any error message. Follow these guidelines when you create an
array name:
l Do not use spaces in the array name.
l Do not use the special characters like #,
@,!, $, or% in the array name.
l Ensure that the array name does not
exceed 30 characters.

for the PowerVault NX1950 storage solution.
