Premium Feature—32 Partitions
NOTE: This premium feature option only applies to the MD3000i.
NOTE: If you ordered this feature, you received a Premium Feature Activation card
shipped in the same box as your Dell PowerVault MD storage array. Follow the
directions on the card to obtain a key file and enable the feature.
The partitions that are enabled with the standard product affect the number
of hosts that can directly access the storage enclosure. The MD3000i allows a
maximum of sixteen connections for the standard product, so sixteen
partitions is the default number of partitions available. In order to increase
the number of hosts that can directly access the MD3000i enclosure, the 32
partition premium feature key must be purchased and installed.
