Principled Technologies, Inc.: Dell PowerVault MD3000i high-availability testing on

Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V

Appendix F: Test methodology

You can find Dell’s “PowerVault MD3000 and MD3000i Array Tuning Whitepaper” here:

http://www.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/storage/pvaul_md3000i/pd.aspx?refid=pvaul_md3000i&s=biz&cs=555

We used the above whitepaper and Dell/Microsoft’s suggestions for Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V best

practices, including the following:

1. Use virtual hard disks (VHDs) to allow the ability to use cluster-shared volumes (CSVs) and failover

features in Windows Server 2008 R2. We recommend fixed size VHDs for best performance.

2. Enable Jumbo Frames on the storage, NIC, and network switch for best performance and to reduce

TCP/IP overhead (Dell tuning recommendation).

3. Install the Dell PowerVault MD3000i Management software on every system that you will connect to the

storage so that the Dell PowerVault MD3000i MPIO driver is active.

4. Dedicate at least two NIC’s for server-storage iSCSI communication.

5. Dedicate at least one NIC for Client-Server communication.

6. Dedicate at least one NIC for the cluster heartbeat.

Note: We provide a description of our test bed in Appendix C: Individual test beds.
