VMAX Disk Command

1. The document outlines the steps to add storage and configure replication between two EMC VMAX arrays. This includes creating devices, setting attributes, creating storage groups, and setting up replication between arrays. 2. Details of setting up bidirectional replication between arrays are provided, including defining device mappings and enabling replication. 3. Steps are described to create clone devices for backup servers to access, including defining device targets, creating clones, and activating the clones.

EMC VMAX: Example of Disk Add

adding 8 x 30GB disks for replication


adding 8 x 120GB disks non-replicated
replicating from frame 2146 to 1826
Production - reservations
1. symconfigure script to create thin devices on frame 2146.
symconfigure -sid 2146 -cmd "create dev count=8, size=30 gb, emulation=fba, conf
ig=TDEV;" commit
New symdevs: 0A99:0AA0 - 30gb replicated
symconfigure -sid 2146 -cmd "create dev count=8, size=120 gb, emulation=fba, con
fig=TDEV;" commit

2. symconfigure script to bind the thin devices to frame 2146.
symconfigure -sid 2146 -cmd "bind tdev 0A99:0AA8 to pool <pool name>;" commit
3. check that devices are bound
symcfg -sid 2146 list -tdev -bound -gb
