Open Replicator Question

All,

I am configuring an Open replicator session between a DMX and CX for hot Push and got all the zones and device file for pairing created. I dont have support for symsan to check if the devices are available on DMX. Is there a way to check that?

Do I need to register Symm FA on Clariion and any masking changes required on Symm. I can see CX SP ports logged on my DMX FA.
Can some one let me know if there is some masking or mapping required as I did not find enough documentation on this part except these few points in on one of the guides.

If the storage port for the source devices is running volume configuration

management (VCM) software (such as Volume Logix for Symmetrix or EMC

Access Logix™ for CLARiiON) or a similar software product, setup may require

granting permission to access the target device(s) from the target storage port. For

instance, on Symmetrix, you need to enable the control FA(s) to have access to the

remote storage array device(s).

Thanks

    Hi AJK,

    You may have to register Symmetrix FA ports to the Clariion storage groups to access the target devices.

    navicli -h xxxxxxx storagegroup -setpath -o -gname xxxxx -hbauid -sp A -spport 0 -host XXXXX

    or you can also register the FA port to the clariion SP ports using navisphere manager.

    Thanks Ramdyn,

    I found that the FA port is not visible at all on the Clariion though CX SP is logged in on DMX.

    I am still trying to figure out what could be the problem.

    What does the symapi log give you when the create fails?  emc207945 has helped me several times getting OR setup initially between a DMX and a CX.
