Live Volume and Windows cluster

Hi All,

I intend for using SC (Compellent) Live Volume for my Windows Cluster servers. I could not find the document about it. Please advise if it is supported by. 

Here is the plan:

- Two SC storages are in the same room.

- Both connects to the FC fabric.

- Both use Virtual Port mode.

- Synchronous replication will be used too.


Thank you,

There is documentation here: Dell SC Series Storage: Synchronous Replication and Live Volume http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20439310

https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_it_ops_datcentr_mgmt/general-solution-resources_white-papers7_en-us.pdf

And you can refer to page 669 under Storage Center Replications and Live Volumes of the Dell Storage Manager 2016 R3 Administrator’s Guide: https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/storage-sc2000_administrator-guide_en-us.pdf

Hi Bob, I got the issue with Live Volume' "Failover State" is "Unprotected". Both Primary and Secondary connectivity to Tiebreaker are "Down". Pls advise if I can find the document about Tiebreaker. When to configure it in DSM? Rgds,

Hello anhnh1977, The best article on Tiebreaker is on page 577 of the Storage Manager 2018 R1 Administrator’s Guide: https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/storage-sc2000_administrator-guide3_en-us.pdf The Tiebreaker should be located at a third autonomous site which can monitor both the Primary and DR sites. It should be configured when setting up Live Volume with Auto Failover.

Hi Bob,

Do you mind if I send you the diagram so you can give me some advise. You can drop an email to my mailbox

My setup has 01 SC9K (dual controllers) & 01 SC 8K (single controller), 02 FC switches. I put 02 DSM version 2016 R3. SC storages are in Virtual port mode.

SC9K: 4 FC port/controller. 4 Fault domain. Each FD has 02 FC port

- 2 FD for FE

- 2 FD for replication

SC8K: 4 FC port/controller. 4 Fault domain. Each FD has 01 FC port

- 2 FD for FE. 

- 2 FD for replication

Rgds,
