Hello,

   Also I'd recommend the document :Best Practices for Fast, Simple Capacity Allocation with EMC Symmetrix Virtual Provisioning,

It steps through the concepts of Thin Devices and suggests best practises, also gives Solutions Enabler CLI, and SMC GUI examples of how to use thin devices.

You can see it on powerlink at:

Hope this helps.

will there be any document for these kind of recommendations..?

well i was looking for a summary of points that act as a check list which we must follow for provisioning as per emc recommendations..

I believe this thread was already answered. Did you have a look at the responses from Dynamox and Nollaig?

could any one explain the emc recommendations on provisioning in symmetrix dmx & vmax.

The below link is from Rajeshvru, he writes in this forum, this may help you.
