Frequently Asked Questions

🔍 What is the difference between the PS4100E, PS4100X, and PS4100XV?
The PS4100E model is optimized for capacity with NL-SAS 7200 RPM 3.5-inch disks, the PS4100X offers a balance between capacity and performance with 10K RPM SAS disks, while the PS4100XV (our model) prioritizes maximum IOPS performance with 15K RPM 2.5-inch SAS disks. This PS4100XV configuration is ideal for transactional databases, intensive virtualization, and applications requiring minimal latency and optimal throughput. EqualLogic iSCSI storage remains compatible across all PS models for future scalability.
💾 Can I change the RAID configuration after installation?
Yes, Dell EqualLogic technology allows for great flexibility in RAID management. You can configure your disks in RAID 5 to maximize usable capacity, RAID 6 for double parity and increased protection, RAID 10 for better performance and redundancy (currently recommended configuration), or RAID 50 for large volumes. Changes are made through the intuitive Dell Storage Manager interface, but require a data reset. Plan your RAID strategy according to your priorities: storage capacity, IOPS performance, or maximum redundancy protection.
🔌 What network cables are needed for the iSCSI connection?
To connect your EqualLogic PS4100 SAN storage array to your network infrastructure, you will need RJ45 Cat6 or Cat6a Ethernet cables (recommended for Gigabit Ethernet). Each controller has multiple Gigabit network ports for redundant connectivity. We recommend a dedicated network architecture with a manageable Gigabit switch for iSCSI traffic separate from the standard LAN network. Power cables are provided with the array. For maximum optimization, use switches that support Jumbo Frames and QoS for the iSCSI protocol.
🖥️ Is this array compatible with VMware vSphere and Hyper-V?
Absolutely! The Dell EqualLogic PS4100 is fully compatible with all major virtualization platforms including VMware vSphere ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, and KVM Linux. The standard iSCSI protocol ensures seamless integration as a datastore for virtual machines. Dell provides specific integration tools such as Auto-Snapshot Manager/VSS for Microsoft, Virtual Storage Manager for VMware allowing for application-consistent snapshots. This shared storage solution is ideal for high availability clusters, VMotion, Live Migration, and VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environments.
📊 What are the actual performance figures I can expect from this configuration?
With 12 SAS 15K RPM drives in RAID 10, this EqualLogic PS4100XV delivers exceptional performance: up to 768 MB/s in sequential throughput and several tens of thousands of IOPS in random read/write depending on block size. The Type 12 controllers with 4 GB cache each optimize access and reduce latency. This performance is perfectly suited for SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL databases, Exchange servers, VMware virtualization environments with several dozen virtual machines, transactional applications, and high-concurrency file servers. The Gigabit Ethernet network represents the limiting factor at about 125 MB/s per link, hence the importance of iSCSI multipathing.
🔄 Can I extend capacity by adding drives or a second array?
This configuration already includes the 12 drive bays of the PS4100XV 2U chassis filled with 600 GB SAS 15K drives. For storage capacity expansion, you can add a second EqualLogic PS4100 array (E, X, or XV as needed) to the same SAN group, which will be managed seamlessly and uniformly via Dell Storage Manager. A SAN group can contain up to two PS4100 series arrays. EqualLogic technology ensures automatic load balancing between arrays, dynamic allocation, and data mobility. You can also replace existing drives with higher capacities (900 GB or 1.2 TB SAS 10K) during a planned migration of your storage infrastructure.
