AX4-5 Documentation and Administrator Guide

Question

Hi all,
We are buying a DELL/EMC AX4-5f but we are unable to find documentation at all.
Actually what we have found are only some short datasheet.

Are there any detailed manual on how to use that san, how to configure and so on?
Something like Redbooks for IBM's SAN.

Moreover, can I create some luns over the first 4 disks? How many disk space will be unavailable due to Operating System?

Thank you.

oh yeah ..there is tons of documentation for AX platform. As soon as you register your Clariion with EMC you will be able to access all that information.

Here is a link to one of the support sites for the AX4. This is on www.emc.com so it's not like Powerlink where you need to log in somewher (I don't think)

Thank you for the answers.Is possibile to read documentation before buying?We would like to evaluate that san before buying it.Another question: Can I create some luns over the first 4 disks?How many disk space is required for the OS?

i don't think you will get access to documentation unless you buy it or at least get the unit for eval.

Ok but how can I evaluate this unit without the documentation?
Without docs, i'm unable to know if it will be possibile to configure some things....

This is a huge problem for me. IBM's docs is freely available before buying and I know
exactly what that san do.

when i say eval, you can actually get an eval unit in your datacenter.
