Revision Date Description
01 April 28, 2023 Release of Power Flex 3.6.1

Product description

Power Flex is a software-defined storage platform designed to significantly reduce operational and infrastructure complexity.
It empowers organizations to move faster by delivering flexibility, elasticity, and simplicity with predictable performance and resiliency at scale.
The Power Flex family provides a foundation that combines compute as well as high performance storage resources in a managed unified fabric. Power Flex comes in fully managed flexible deployment options for rack or appliance that enable Server SAN, HCI, and storage only architectures. Power Flex can now be deployed in the public cloud. A Ready Node option is also available. Power Flex is ideal for high performance applications and databases, building an open  private cloud, or consolidating resources in heterogeneous environments.

New and changed features

Learn about new and changed features in this version of Power Flex.

New features for Power Flex

Learn about the new features introduced in Power Flex 3.6.1 software.

  • Power Flex is now available as a consumption model in the public cloud. Power Flex 3.6.0.4 is supported on AWS.

  • Power Path 7.4 for Linux now supports Power Flex devices. Power Path Migration enabler can be used for data migration across Power Flex and other Power Path supported storage array classes.
    NOTE: Only Power Flex SCSI devices are supported. Since Power Flex devices have only a single path, Power Flex takes care of load balancing across different SDS.

  • A new alert, S D S E X C E E D E D I M M _ T I M E O U T, is displayed if S D S n a m e < N A M E > S D S I d < n n n > is running with Instant Maintenance Mode (IMM), exceeding the configured duration. It places the system at risk for a second failure of another node and might lead to data unavailability.

Important
The following aspects of PowerFlex 3.6.1 must be understood before deploying or upgrading your system:

  1. CloudIQ integration
    ● Discovering a PowerFlex system in CloudIQ requires the system to be registered with Secure remote services. In the PowerFlex Installer, Maintain tab, ensure that the PowerFlex system is registered with Secure remote services  and that Send data to CloudIQ is enabled.
    ● After installing a new PowerFlex system with PowerFlex version 3.6, it takes 24 hours until data is available in CloudIQ. Systems upgrading to PowerFlex 3.6 will appear in CloudIQ within an hour of enabling the Send data to CloudIQ option.
    ● PowerFlex appliance and rack systems need PowerFlex Manager version “H” in order to be discovered in CloudIQ.

  2. Replication enhancements
    ● Bi-directional replication between two sites only is supported.
    ● See the PowerFlex Sizer for sizing guidelines for correct replication system specifications, including WAN bandwidth sizing. When using the PowerFlex Sizer, take into account existing workload and existing hardware, and the  possible need to add additional nodes to enable replication without impacting the current workload.
    ● Replication capability has higher I/O overhead, as explained in the v3.6 Getting to Know PowerFlex Guide (Replication section) and the white paper Dell EMC PowerFlex: Introduction to Replication. See these recommendations  in order to size your system correctly, and ensure that you have sufficient existing storage capabilities to enable this ability.

  3. Network resiliency improvements
    ● Proactive network path error detection requires SDC to be at v3.6 or later.

  4. Upgrade Paths
    ● Upgrade from PowerFlex version 3.0.x and 3.5.x to version 3.6 are supported.
    ● Older PowerFlex/ Flex operating system versions must be upgraded to version 3.0.x prior to upgrading to version 3.6.

  5. vSphere plug-in End-of-Support-Life
    ● The PowerFlex vSphere plug-in continues to be supported with vSphere versions 6.5 and 6.7, however it reaches end-of-support-life when vSphere 6.5 and 6.7 reach end-of-support by VMware. For details on the last release of vSphere plug-in due to end of general support for Essig 6.5 and 6.7 by VMware, see: Announcing End of General Support  for vSphere 6.5.x and vSphere 6.7.x (89305). Also note the new issue in the Known Issues section that is  related to vSphere Plug-in.
    ● The PowerFlex vSphere plug-in does not support vSphere 7 hype converged (HCI) configurations.

Cloud Link support

PowerFlex version Cloud Link version Description of change
3.6.0.6 and later 7.1.5 Existing Cloud Link install base with the original

device path logic: /dev/sd X.
3.6.0.2, 3.6.0.3, 3.6.04, and 3.6.0.5| 7.1.3| Cloud Link 7.1.3 enables a new device path logic for encrypted devices, using /dev/disk/by-id/wwn- _< uniqueid>.
3.0.1.x all versions
3.5.x.x, all versions 3.6 3.6.0.1| 7.1
7.0| The Cloud Link versions maintain legacy support for the existing Cloud Link install  base with the original device path logic: /dev/sd X.

PowerFlex 3.6.0.2 supports migration and upgrade flows from CloudLink 7.1 to CloudLink 7.1.2 or CloudLink 7.1.3.
Following are the expected upgrade flow for systems with CloudLink:

  • Upgrade PowerFlex to 3.6.0.6.
  • For CloudLink 7.1 / 7.0, upgrade to CloudLink 7.1.5.
  • For CloudLink 7.1.2 / 7.1.3 / 7.1.4, upgrade to CloudLink 7.1.5 with support assistance.

PowerFlex 3.6.0.6 supports migration and upgrade flows from CloudLink 7.1 to CloudLink 7.1.5.
CloudLink 7.1.5 changes the disk-mapping logic to use /dev/sdX compared to what was introduced in the CloudLink 7.1.2 to 7.1.4 versions. This version removes support for /dev/disk/by– id from CloudLink which reverts to a /dev/sdX  device mapping.
Customers who migrated to CloudLink 7.1.3 and adopted /dev/disk/by-id logic must open a support call as documented in Dell PowerFlex v3.6.x CloudLink for SDS Devices. This helps in reverting to /dev/sdX device mapping and helps adopt the CloudLink 7.1.5.
Customers using the earlier CloudLink releases (CloudLink 7.1.1 or earlier) can adopt the CloudLink 7.1.5 by using the existing device mapping.
Due to key updates, it is recommended that you adopt the latest CloudLink 7.1.5 for usage with PowerFlex for Data at Rest Encryption.
Supported operating systems
The user documentation contains a list of supported operating systems. For the most current information, see the Dell Technologies Simple Support Matrices at https://elabnavigator.dell.com/eln/modernHomeSSM, Storage option.
SDC compatibility
By design, the PowerFlex SDC in this release is compatible with previously released systems that are currently supported (for example, VxFlex OS v3.0.1). In addition, the PowerFlex system (backend) in this release is backward compatible with previously released SDC versions that are currently supported.
Some limitations may apply to mixed-version systems, such as:

  • Replication is not supported on SDC releases earlier than PowerFlex v3.5.
  • The CHAP component authentication feature cannot be enabled unless every MDM, SDC, and SDS in the system is at least version 3.5, and conversely, if the feature is enabled, no pre-v3.5 SDCs can be added.
  • Fine Granularity Storage Pool-based volumes cannot be mapped to a ScaleIO/VxFlex operating system v2.x SDC.
  • Snapshot Policy management is not available with SDC releases earlier than VxFlex operating system v3.0.
