This section explains how to configure EMC Symmetrix DMX storage and EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage.
Configuration of EMC Symmetrix DMX Storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX Storage
Resource Orchestrator manages only EMC Symmetrix DMX registered on Solutions Enabler. Register the target EMC Symmetrix DMX on Solutions Enabler.
For details on how to register Solutions Enabler, refer to the Solutions Enabler manual.
There are the following advisory notes:
For Resource Orchestrator, host spare definitions, DISK group definitions (corresponding to RAID groups), and devices (corresponding to LUNs) are not created. Create hot spare definitions, DISK group definitions, or devices in advance.
Map devices and director ports in advance.
It is not necessary to create devices, LUN mapping and LUN masking, as these are automatically created when creating an L-Server.
For details on defining hot spares and DISK groups, creating devices, and mapping devices and director ports, refer to the manual of EMC Symmetrix DMX storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage.
When installing an OS and a multipath driver, it is necessary to make only one access path from the server to the storage.
It is necessary to install Resource Orchestrator and SYMCLI in the same server.
SYMAPI Server can also be installed on a different server.
The server to install SYMAPI Server on must be able to access EMC Symmetrix DMX storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage from FC-HBA.
When Connecting EMC Symmetrix DMX Storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX Storage to Fibre Channel Switches
In Resource Orchestrator, when connecting EMC Symmetrix DMX storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage, Fibre Channel switches are not configured.
It is necessary to configure one-to-one WWPN zoning for Fibre Channel switches in advance.
It is necessary to define zoning combining the fibre channel switch combining the HBA Port WWPN value based on the WWN provided by the I/O Virtualization Option and the DIRECTOR port WWPN value in the EMC Symmetrix DMX storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage used in Resource Orchestrator. For details on the configuration method, refer to the manual of the fibre channel switch.
Fibre Channel Switch Zoning Settings
Set zoning combining the WWPN value of HBA Port1 and the WWPN value of the first Director port defined in the storage_portset.rcxprop definition file, and combining the WWPN value of HBA Port2 and the WWPN value of the second Director port defined in portset.
Examples of command execution for an ETERNUS SN200 are as follows:
Example
Conditions
WWN value provided by the I/O Virtualization Option
"20:00:00:17:42:51:00:0x"
WWPN value of HBA Port1
"9:00:00 PM:17:42:51:00:0x"
WWPN value of HBA Port2
"10:00:00 PM:17:42:51:00:0x"
WWPN value of the DIRECTOR portset defined first
"50:0a:09:81:88:bc:43:dc"
WWPN value of the DIRECTOR portset defined first
"50:0a:09:82:88:bc:43:dc"
zoneCreate "emc_a_0","50:0a:09:81:88:bc:43:dc;21:00:00:17:42:51:00:00" <RETURN> |
