Matrix

This document provides information on supported software and hardware for Dell PowerVault MD1000

Systems.

The PowerVault MD1000 supported software and hardware are directly tied to the RAID controller to which it is

attached. If a PERC 5/E or PERC 6/E is supported in a server, then the PowerVault MD1000 is supported on

that server.

NOTE: For the latest driver and firmware releases, see the Downloads section at

Supported Hardware Configurations

NOTE: The following MD1000 hardware configurations are supported only on Dell-qualified hardware.

There is a limit of two RAID controllers (PERC 5/E and/or PERC 6/E) per PowerEdge server. There is a limit of

three MD1000 enclosures per controller port. Therefore, the maximum number of supported enclosures is 12.

-[(2 controllers) x (2 ports) x (3 enclosures)] = 12 enclosures

Supported Hardware Configuration shows typical hardware configurations for the PowerVault MD1000

enclosure.

Max Configuration on a Single PERC 5/E or PERC 6/E Controller (both ports connected) shows the maximum

configuration in a single PERC 5/E or PERC 6/E controller (three enclosures per port in unified mode) with

both ports connected.

Figure 1. Supported Hardware Configuration

Figure 2. Max Configuration on a Single PERC 5/E or PERC 6/E Controller (both ports connected)

The PERC 6/E adapter can detect and use redundant paths to drives contained in an MD1000 enclosure. With

redundant paths, if one path fails, another path can be used to communicate between the controller and the

hard drive.

NOTE: Redundant Path connectivity is not supported on PERC 5/E
