Hi,

I am new to Dell and their storage solution and shortly we are taking on the support of a 2-node Dell Hyper-V Cluster consisting of the following:

2 x Dell 730 XD server

1 x MD3420

The configuration is multi path as well.

This is already obviously configured and running and has approximately 10 VM's running on it.

What I am looking for is information on how we best understand how this is configured and setup. I have seen the guides (Administrative and setup) and the e-learning for the MD3420 which we will complete, however even reading the guides i am still struggling to understand certain aspects, such as what is required and how does the SAN discover the Hosts. Do the hosts need to any software installing. Once discovered how is the storage attached to the hosts, etc.

Any help or assistance would be really appreciated. Or if I have not explained enough information regarding the configuration for you to assist please let me know.

Many Thanks

Mark
