I use Mirrorview/A to replicate a pile of LUNs - about 50 - on a pair of CX3-20Cs. I'm attempting to move from a IP routed FC replication scheme to iSCSI. I know this is possible - seems preferable, as a matter of fact - but in order to do so I need to use Flare 26.
The problem is that Flare26, patch 10 - which I show in Powerlink as the current release - has a problem with Mirrorview/A, and I can't use it.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this - or maybe even if there's been a new release of the flare since last November?
If running MirrorView/Asynchronous the official advice is still NOT to upgrade to any version of Release 26 up to and including patch .010!
EMC engineering expects to have a patch to fix this problem available in Q1 2008. The only workaround at present is to destroy all Async mirrors, upgrade, and recreate the mirrors (incurring a full resynch). EMC advices to wait for the patch!
Please see EMC knowledgebase article emc176189 for further details.
FLARE 26 patch 11 was released yesterday and the rolling reboots for MirrorView/Asynchronous can now be circumvented. Please see EMC KB article emc176189 for further information.
