Practical maximum volume size is specific to your operating system. A PS Series group can create and present volumes up to
15TB.
2
To avoid service outages or possible loss of connectivity during failovers, Dell recommends that you set initiator timeouts
according to the recommendations in the Dell EqualLogic PS Series Storage Arrays iSCSI Initiator and Operating System
Considerations document.

When mixing PS6XXX and PS4XXX arrays, SyncRep remains at 4 volumes if any PS4XXX members are in the group.
4
This value includes VVol snapshots and VVol-linked clones.
5
Inbound replication connections count toward the total number of connections.
6
This number includes local accounts, the built-in grpadmin account, and any remotely authenticated accounts added to the group.
7
SCSI fencing is not supported for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. See the Dell EqualLogic PS Series Storage Arrays iSCSI Initiator and
Operating System Considerations document for more information.
