MAX number of LUNS that can be mapped to a Single FA port on VMAX? How many LUNS can be mapped to a Single  FA port on VMAX?

Hi all Just install the latest SE 7.6 on to my fresh installation windows 2003 X64. With network communication between the symmetrix (DMX4), and the management host server. Pingable between the symmetrix and the host server. However when i tried to run symcfg discover, it return with no new devi

Hi everyone, I'm actually working in an environnement fully configured with TDEV (Thin Provisionning). My customer is taking Snaps of over 250 luns using actually a Clariion CX-4 to then mount the Snap onto a BK server and save the data on the Snap onto tapes. Now, they have a VMAX40K and wan

All: I have to add a new FA Port to an existing Linux Server with FA Port Overrides. What is the order?  I don't want to have to reboot the Linux Server (its in production). Do I: 1.  Zone new FA Port to Linux Server HBA WWN. 2.  Set FA port overrides with symmask command(s

Hello, I'm trying to use the REST API to U4V. I'm fairly new to REST but I *have* done some amount of programming against other REST APIs. I took a look at the U4V REST API Programmer's Guide and I am stumped. That document doesn't seem like it has the kind of information I need to get started.

Does anybody know whether when using SRDF with thin provisioning the secondary sites R2 volume when added to a storage group actually needs to have the same policy defined I am replicating a number of storage groups from one site and these as per the normal way with DR are then masked and mapped

I have a stituation where upper management has made decisions for Storage Upgrades where the technicians were not asked for their opinion. What came out of this is that we are replacing a VMAX with a VMAX 40K that has double the capacity.  It also has double the cache.  Currently the VMAX

I used the following command and found there are quite some devices being mapped but not masked: symaccess -sid 123 list no_assignment Can I reassign these devices, meaning unmap them and remap them to other ports, and mask them to hosts? are there anything else to check before I reassign them?

which symcli can see the total capacity of VMAX box, specially for un-used space?

I'm getting a consistent lun violation when I try to move a VMware host from one initiator group to another. I've learned the reason for this is because I have masking views that contains same lun ids.  My problem now is, how do I go about making it so that I can collapse these initiator and s

./symcfg -sid 1234 list -v The gatekeeper device (while using the Base Daemon) has an error (Please see the Log file) It's DMX4 FRAME Could you please share with me what could be the cause of the error, and how to fix it? Thank you!

Folks, I recently began reclaim on all SG's within a VMAX 20K and shortly thereafter (maybe a couple hours) SMAS began alerting us that DA's at 90% utilization. I have been trying to trace it down to a particularly heavy hitting SG but then realized this could be CPU utilization on the DA. Incidenta

I was wondering, if we replace a 4 port FC adapter with ports G0/G1/H0/H1 with a 2 port FCoE adapter with ports G0/H0 on the VMAX, will the FCoE adapter have the same WWN as G0/H0 on the current FC adapter?

I ahve clone session activated on two devices and I am trying to do SRDF from the cone sessions's target and I am getting error that an SRDF mirror can not be added to a device in a timefinder clone session.

I performed a striped meta expansion over the weekend. the device was part of a SRDF pair. I had planned on performing a protected expansion on the R1 device and a unprotected expansion on the R2 device. The protected expansion was successful: symconfigure -sid 3938 -cmd "add dev 05da to meta 08

Anyone know which flag to set to allow loop mode on an FA port on the VMAX.

I have created 10 devices and bound to FC pool with FAST policy 100-100-100, What difference does it make if I bound to SATA pool and associate same FAST policy of 100-100-100??

Hello, We have an SRDF/CE cluster using concatenated (R1 and R2) meta-volumes . Is there an online procedure to extend these volumes? The SRC/CE cluster runs Windows 2008 R2 thanks in advance, Francis

I am looking to create a series of DP tiers on a VMAX to support Raid 10 configuration for an exchange enviroment. The design I am working from calls for two DP tiers one containing 38 disk the other 8 disk to be created from a single physical disk group . However I see no way to actually specify w
