DMX newbie
I am new to the DMX arrays and its all a little confusing at the moment although I have good clarrion / navisphere knowledge. We have a DMX 1000 and we are using BCVs and open replicator. Can anyone recommend a good place to start - documents - overview and such. I also need to start using unix symcli scripting. any help advise would be greatly exceprted.
How many BCVs can you have on a source volume?
open replicator why is this used instead of SRDF

EMC Solutions Enabler Version 7.1.1 Documentation CD is good place to start

I can't find it, but I think the limit of BCV's, in earlier versions, you could sync and then split with a STD device was four.
I've had two BCV's syncing to STD disk and then split and mounted the BCV's off to two hosts.

if you are using TimeFinder/mirror then you can have up to 8 copies of a single source, but not simultaneously and each mirror copy requires a logical mirror position against the source volume.
if you are using TimeFinder/clone (recommended) you can have up to 4 concurrent copies of a source volume and this does not require logical mirror position against the source volume. You should be able to confirm this information in the TimeFinder product guide.

Your question: open replicator why is this used instead of SRDF.
As the product name suggest "Open Replicator" this can be used to move data to/from other vendor platforms.
As for SRDF, this is used strictly between Symmetrix to Symmetrix. EMC only platforms.
