VMAX Front end port limitations
Hi
About to take delivery of two VMAX arrays, my customer is asking about limitations on Front end ports.
Ports are FC, question - how many devices (devices that the customer will see) can be assigned per port?
I see from DMX discussion that limits may be at processor/director level, and that limit may be related to hypers and not metas.
Any info much apprec.
Tks

Hi,
As rightly mentioned in the above post, it is 4096 devices per FA processor. Primus Knowledgebase solution emc67373 quotes the same.
