Storage Center Version 7.x Software Update Guide

Validate Host Best Practices

To reduce the impact of the controller restart operation on the host operating system and applications when applying non-service affecting updates, verify that the correct configuration and best practices are applied to the host.

NOTE:Dell recommends that each host has at least one failover test where the redundancy of the HBAs, fabrics and storage controllers is tested and validated. Validate every newly configured host that is accessing Storage Center volumes or when large update packages are applied to the host operating system. See the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide or the Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS and FS Series Arrays for more information about HBA server settings and iSCSI settings best practices.
