Back-End Connectivity

Back-end connectivity is strictly between the storage system and expansion enclosures.

The SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system supports back-end connectivity to multiple SCv300, SCv320, and SCv360 expansion

enclosures.

System Administration

To perform system administration, the Storage Center communicates with computers using the Ethernet management (MGMT) port on

the

storage controllers.

The Ethernet management port is used for Storage Center configuration, administration, and management.

Storage Center Replication

Storage Center sites can be collocated or remotely connected and data can be replicated between sites. Storage Center replication can

duplicate volume data to another site in support of a disaster recovery plan or to provide local access to a remote data volume. Typically,

data is replicated remotely as part of an overall disaster avoidance or recovery plan.

The SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system supports replication to the storage systems listed below. However, a Storage Manager Data

Collector must be used to replicate data between the storage systems. For more information about installing and managing the Data

Collector and setting up replications, see the

Storage Manager Installation Guide.

SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Hardware

The SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system ships with Dell Enterprise Plus Value drives, two redundant power supply/cooling fan

modules, and two redundant storage controllers.

Each storage controller contains the front-end, back-end, and management communication ports of the storage system.
