Introduction

  • PowerStore T models support a unified (block and file) or block-optimized (block only) configuration. For a multi-appliance PowerStore T model cluster, only the first appliance in the cluster (the primary appliance) can be configured to support unified storage. Extra appliances added to a cluster are configured automatically as block-optimized during the initial configuration.

    For this paper, a PowerStore T model 5200 single appliance cluster was configured using unified block storage.

    For PowerStore X models, Dell Technologies recommends following the PowerStore X configuration settings in Dell article number 000110933 during the initial installation and configuration of PowerStore X. The article discusses creating additional iSCSI targets, increasing PowerStore iSCSI queue depths, and setting jumbo frames in PowerStore. These changes should be performed during the initial configuration of the PowerStore system but can be configured afterwards.
