You can use Replication Manager to create application consistent image to replicate with Celerra Replicator.

VMware SRM doesn't care how it's getting replicated as long as the SRA can provide the details of the storage that is getting replicated and take actions requested by SRM.

There is one solution white paper available to show this integration. But, that was created using RDM volumes. The steps should be similar for any Replication Manager supported configuration.

Can you clarify your question on the limitation of NFS and iSCSI?

a point for iSCSI and NFS.

I had install an Celerra NS-120 and the volme limit of  an iSCSI LUN was 2 To.

What is the limit for a NFS LUN and a iSCSI LUN on a NS-480 , plz ?

i'm sorry i don't say thank you 2

Applications are multiples (Exchange, Oracle, file server windows, Mysql, and a lot of another applications i don't know yet).

I will read your doc and if i have got another question, i know now where to put it

do you mean limit from the Celerra side ?

the Celerra supports 256 ISCSI LUNs per target and lots of targets - your limit is probably the max 1024 replication session per DM

for NFS exports there isnt a hard limit that I know of - and we support 2048 file systems

the max ISCSI LUN size is 2TB and the max NFS export is 16TB

there is no difference there between NS-480 and NS-120 - expect the capacity per data mover of 32TB vs 64TB and the total number of disks 120 vs. 480

(see Technical Notes section in the DART release notes for more details)

There are limits on the VMware side - max 32 NFS mounts per server, but you have to adjust if from the default of 8 (see Techbook)

Hello all,

I've found an interesting document about Celerra limits and compatibilities: " nas support matrix" at

https://powerlink.emc.com/nsepn/webapps/btg548664833igtcuup4826/km/live1/en_US/Offering_Technical/Interoperability_Matrix/NASSupportMatrix.pdf?mtcs=ZXZlbnRUeXBlPUttQ2xpY2tDb250ZW50RXZlbnQsZG9jdW1lbnRJZD0wOTAxNDA2NjgwNGRlNGVhLGRvY3VtZW50VHlwZT1wZGYsbmF2ZU5vZGU9MGIwMTQwNjY4MDJhZmYzNl9Hcmlk

Kind regards,

Hi leburelr,

Welcome to the EMC forums.

I am unable to open this link but if you are referring to the "NAS Support Matrix" document - please note that this is an EMC internal (Confidential) document available to EMC employees and partners (maybe) only - not for customers.  You may find the "EMC confidential" note on the bottom of each page of the doc.

I understand you may be having added access to Powerlink for accessing the internal doc - may be you are a partner or authorized service person.

Thanks,

Hi, is there a white paper or article to show what will happen if the data mover limit is reach? As in if i have a data mover mount with multiple FS and all add up to be more that 64TB?

Thanks

Celerra will not stop you from creating/using more capacity, technically you will be in unsupported configuration. If you need to support more capacity, you can request an RPQ, support will look at datamover memory/cpu utilization, file size, wether you use replication ..etc. Now if you reach the maximum limit of file systems per datamover ..new file systems will not mount.

Correct

NAS file system capacity it not a hard limit that is enforced so nothing will happen
