Information regrading installing DART 5.5 on NSX with backend DMX

Hello raja, welcome to the forums.

Unfortunately, the NSX is not customer-installable. You will need to contact your local field service team to schedule an install.

Bear in mind that for boxes which are not customer-installable, EMC or one of our Authorized Service Partners must do the installation or your box will not be covered under warranty, and will not be eligible for support services.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this.

Thank you bill for your answer do you have any idea how many luns and their sizes we have to give from DMX-4 to install DART 5.5? And one more question for celerra replicator both the source and destination show be in same network or it can be in different network.And what version do DART 5.5 support.

Thank you

Hi,

for 5.5 you need 2x 11GB and 4x 2GB

for 5.6 one of these 2GB LUNs should be 64GB for a NS-X

no, for Replicator they dont have to be in the same network - of you they need to be able to reach each other through a router then

Unless you have a specific reason - like having to replicate with another 5.5 based system - I would recommend to get 5.6 installed instead

Among of other improvements 5.6 contains Replicator V2, which is more scalable and faster

5.5 only supports Replicator V1

5.6 does support V2 and it isnt possible to replicate between a 5.5 and a 5.6 system.

Thank you rainer for your reply.one more question we are migrating the data from NSX 5.5 DART to NSX 5.5 DART so what is the best way that i can migrate the data? is it CDMS or celerra replicator?

Thank you rainer do you have any good document for celerra replicator using V1 for both cifs and nfs environment?

the best way is Replicator or its CLI copy commands fs_copy/nas_copy

I your case I would suggest upgrading your source system to 5.6 and installing the NS-X with 5.6 since you normally would want to upgrade it to 5.6 later anyway

You'll want to go to

And look at 'Using Celerra Replicator (v1)', near the bottom of the page.
