port settings for different hosts

I don't know of any specific documents.

The windows ports have the following flags "enabled" ...

Common_Serial_Number(C)
Disable_Q_Reset_on_UA(D)

Init_Point_to_Point(PP)
Unique_WWN(UWN)
Auto_Negotiate(EAN)

VCM_State(VCM) This is optional, enable this for lun masking (aka volume logix).

All others are "disabled".
I hope this helps.

The EMC Support Matrix that gets updated every few months will have all the relevent bit setting information for all the OS's

lol, wish i see that day when i can actually add those devices on my cart $-)

support matrix will tell me which devices are compatible...but it wont tell me what settings i need to do on FAs...so there must be some other documentation...

Good luck in searching the support matrix.
The e-lab navigator is not very user friendly. (What's up with those shopping carts anyway? It's not like we are buying anything there.)

I have Feb 2007's Matrix. You'll find what you need under the 'Bits to Set' column ( for example see page 964) Hope I'm not trying to make people suck eggs but I got there from : Symmetrix > Fibre Bit Setting > EMC Enginuity.

Make sure you know the servers Model, OS's patch revison, if its connected through a switch, array type and enginuity. REMEMBER to read the sub notes that apply to the bit seeting you want to set.

It's not the best documents because it's so big, but everyone at EMC swear by it- calling it their 'bible'

This is exactly what I needed and it resolved my issue. Thanks.

Kiran Ghag,

There are multiple 'flags' on the FA's. They depend on OS, Environment attached to and HBA, etc. The first reply from Sysmgr gives an example of some. Also in a fabric or multiple Host type configuration, there are other 'flags' to consider. But in a one Host, direct attached environment, it will be more straight forward.

Please contact your local EMC CE for the settings and recommendations for your Symmetrix environment.

This is what I am trying to avoid...wanted to see if there is a precise customer viewable documentation which I can refer for this.

Go to the Solutions Enabler Documents (here on Powerlink).

Grab the Symmetrix Device Masking CLI manual.

There is a section on setting the heterogeneous host flag, and a table describing the various settings. Of course this is via the masking, but it shows you what settings are emulated and what those settings are for.

Anyway, that table has been very helpful to me.
