Hi all,

I have a questions related to carving the disks intially. I am bit newbie to symmetrix and confused with the inital setup of DMX-4.

1. Do we have the same hyper for each disks or can hyper be set different for each drive or is it only different as per the size of drive ?

2. When do we set the hypers , i mean at what stage , is it during the initial bin file configuration by CE?

3. Is it possible to change the hyper size of a particular disks?

4. Once the hypers are set/carved , what is the next step in presenting the LUNS to hosts, do we have to create RAID groups like Clarrions?

5. Why is people mostly asking expected application IOPS and block size when configuring hypers , are they related? How?

Sorry abt too much questions but i would appreicate your responses as it will get me a clear picture and help me with carving of this dmx4.

Regards,
