"Device Configuration" Property
Hi,
How we can differentiate between Metas, BCV's, STD's devices in Symmetrix. I think we can use "Device Configuration" Property which gives which what kind of device it is. For example see the same data below.
Sample Data below:
Device Configuration : 2-Way Mir (Meta Member,
Non-Exclusive Access)
Device Configuration : BCV (Meta Head,
Non-Exclusive Access)
Device Configuration : RAID-5 (Meta Head,
Non-Exclusive Access)
Device Configuration : RAID-5 (Meta Member,
Non-Exclusive Access)
Device Configuration : RAID-S (7+1) (Meta Head,
Non-Exclusive Access)
Alos please tell me what are possible Device Configuration so that i can calculate capacity allocated to different device configuration in symmetrix.
2. Also we can term it as storage pool based on the device configuration..

not sure what version of symcli you are running but in 6.5.2 i can do this:
symdev list -sid 123 -raid5 -protection 3+1
symdev list -sid 123 -raid5 -protection 7+1
symdev list -sid 123 -raids
....and a lot more others. Check out man pages for symdev.

1) its protection
2) some of the flags (BCV/non-BCV)
3) metavolume relationship (meta-head/meta-member/non-meta)
I can't figure out how many different combinations you can have ..
If you want to differentiate symdev output, use appropriate filters as Dynamox suggested ...
