I am retiring some VNX5300s, and I also have some VNX2 arrays that are not 'fully loaded'. I know that the disks are largely interchangable between the two families, but I haven't found any documentation that suggests that either a controller swap, or an upgrade using the older DAEs is possible.

I've just came across a mirrorview A wizard configuration that created a pool on 3 different disk types using all of the hot spares, even though we had a dedicated traditional RAID group (not on vault drives) to use for RLP. Looking at the Mirrorview Wizard rules don't think the wizard can avoid doi

Hi all I have a customer with a VNX 5300 which is configured with 1 DPE and 2 DAE. DPE is equiped with 15x 300 GB disks, DAE 1 with 600 Disks and DAE 3 with 600 DB disks as well. BUT DAE 2 resp. its disks are not assigned yet. Now is it possible to expand Pool 1 which contains 15x 300 GB Disks

When I go to the VMware site to download the SRA for a VNX2 and SRM v6.1, (titled EMC VNX SRA with VNX Replicator Enabler) all that is in the kit is the install for the SRA itself. The enabler is not in the zip file. The title of the download implies that the VNX enabler should be in the kit.

Ive been trying to search all over the site, but it's really difficult to find anything. There are no simple links to stuff like software downloads that I can find. Ive tried navigating through the vnx tree, through the product tree and other trees under support, but I cannot find it anywhere. This

Hi As of now we are using zoning with single initiator and multiple targets. We have both Dell Compellent and EMC VNX 5200 storage.

Hi, I'm working on setting up a CEPP.conf file for symantec data connector tool installed on Windows server to get audit events from VNX 5300 NAS. The file was created and pushed to DM but the communication between the NAS DM IP and Windows collector server is not happening as it shows "state = H

Could SANCOPY be used for NFS data replication?

Hello community, I have a NAS pool that has run out of space and needs to be expanded, it's a gateway model connected to a VMax, I'm no VMax savvy so not sure what guidelines to follow to add new volumes to the VG50, I have added VMax volumes to servers using GUI but not to the NAS head. Any advi

I am unwilling to forklift another SAN solution just because my gear has a few years on it and wanted some advice on squeezing a few more TB out of my SAN. I currently have a VNX-5200 with external drive chassis.  The unit was configured with one large storage pool which left four drives unuse

I know in the past with CX it would just alternate between A and B if you asked for 10 luns, so it was evenly distributed. Partner is telling me this isn't the case with VNX.  Can someone elaborate?  Pointing to documentation would help greatly as well. Thanks, Andrew

We do have unified VNX 5300 array. We are facing issue with tree quotas on our vnx box. We have created department wise file systems and several tree quotas are created on those file system. issue here is vnx is allowing to create tree quotas whose size in total is greater than actual file system si

Hi There, I was wondering where does MirrorView configuration details are captured by SPCollect script. I couldn't located anything under SPA_cfg_info file. Or those details are not captured here. Please suggest. Thanks Harry

On our VNX7500, we found a few NAS file system sub-folders that our Domain Administrator accounts can no longer access. We believe this is the result of improperly trained local site support techs who manage user and folder permissions. Am I correct in thinking that I should be able to access the

Hi, We have a VNX5600 and the customer is looking to migrate the data to another system that they host. They wish to install 2 I/O cards in DM0, as we only offer CIFS (NO BLOCK). After reading the VNX5600 PartsLocation Guide, it states, Data Mover Four types of I/O modules are supported

I am struggling to find the upgrade path for the VNXe3200. Current OE is: 3.1.1.6207002. Can I upgrade straight to 3.1.8 or do I have to go to 3.1.5 and then 3.1.8? Any advice or white papers will be gratefully received. Dave

I'd like to configure up/down alerting via SNMP from a VNX. I've figured out the Notifications for Block, more or less, but the Notifications for File section seems to have fewer options and I can't find one that looks like it will send an alert if file systems become unavailable to hosts for whatev
