Load Symmetrix Management Console on the Service Processor; Attach the Service Processor to your network.
The entry-level configuration. This configuration provides a single VMAX Engine (middle) connected directly to eight disk array enclosures(4 top,4 buttom). The system is expandable by adding a storage bay and populating the bay with additional daisy-chained disk array enclosures. The fully configuration is maximum 24 disk array enclousers, 16 on another storage bay.
Enginuity 5874 only support 1 GigE I/O; Enginuity 5875 support 10 GigE I/O. Storage cache is 64G(32G usable-read,write mirror)
◆ One I/O model that provides two 4-port Fibre Channel multimode I/O modules.
◆ One I/O model that provides two 2-port FICON single mode I/O modules.
◆ max volume size of 240GB for open systems and 223GB for mainframe systems with 512 hypers per drive.
Disk Configuration
Hypervolume - Physical device must be configured into logical unit call hypervolumes. Maximum of 1024 hypervolumes on each physical drive.
Metavolume - A metavolume is two or more Symmetrix system hypervolumes presented to the host as a single addressable device. Metavolume creation also stripes the volume across back-end directors. Metavolumes can contain a maximum of 256 devices and can be up to 60 TB in size.
Metavolumes contain a head device, which provides control information, member
devices, and a tail device.
◆ Concatenated metavolumes — Organize addresses for the first byte of data at the
beginning of the first volume, and continue sequentially to the end of the volume.
Data is written sequentially, beginning with the first byte
◆ Striped metavolumes — Organize addresses sequentially, by using addresses that
are interleaved between hypervolumes.
Open Migrator / Live Migration
EMC Open Migrator/Live Migration (LM) provides on-line data migration of
Microsoft Windows, UNIX, or Linux volumes between any source and EMC storage.
Migration is performed from the production host.
With Open Migration/LM, volumes are on-line and available during critical
applications like server consolidation, storage upgrades, and performance tuning.
Open Migrator/LM provides the mirroring and background copy functions that are
used to synchronize data images on one or more source and target volumes, LUNs, or
LUN partitions.
