Dell EMC Metro Node - WAN ISL link bandwidth

In general your WAN bandwidth is supposed to be based on the write bandwidth. So if you have 60MB/s that is the required bandwidth for the WAN. While less than whats supported, you could have the account team RPQ this as what is listed is what was tested.

Hi All,

how should the cabling topology be used for Powerstore block optimized with Metro Node ?

Skenario-1

or Skenario-2

I'm not sure about scenario-2, because wan cabling should be directed to the network switch.

please advise,

Thanks,

Correct, scenario 1 is correct assuming that your WAN is going through  a switch

thanks @ankur.patel to verify this scenario..

Hi All,

and regarding the zoning configuration, do all devices at each site (server, metronode, powerstore) need to be zoned ? If yes, are the details as follows.

Example zoning in each site

server to metronode
server to powerstore

metronode to server
metronode to powerstore

powerstore to server
powerstore to metronode

SAN switch-1 (top)
# zone server to metronode
server_fc0; metronode1_fc0; metronode2_fc0;

# zone server to powerstore
server_fc0; powerstore_nodeA_fc0; powerstore_nodeB_fc0;

# etc

SAN switch-2 (bottom)
# zone server to metronode
server_fc1; metronode1_fc1; metronode2_fc1;

# zone server to powerstore
server_fc1; powerstore_nodeA_fc1; powerstore_nodeB_fc1;

# etc

Thanks,

server to powerstore is not needed. 

server to metronode, metronode to powerstore is all

noted with thanks @ankur.patel 

Also need this. Lets see what happens after apply the solution.
