Disney Standards for EMC VMAX
The current supported Micro code version is 5874.248.194 & 5875.231.172
No Thin provisioning in VMAX. (Thin devices with 100% subscription)
All hosts require at least 2 HBAs for storage connectivity; HBAs must be added in
pairs, and HBAs cannot be used for both Disk and Tape Drives.
HBA driver differences are not acceptable. Which means all the HBA connected to
host must have one driver.
Path manager incompatibilities are not acceptable in any sense.
A single host cannot have storage directly allocated from multiple vendors
simultaneously
A host cannot have storage directly allocated from different storage technologies.
For example; a host should not have storage allocated to it from both VMAX and XIV.
Best practice is to only allocate storage to a server from one storage unit. If required,
storage can be allocated from up to 2 storage arrays as long as theyre the same
technology.








5
Disney Standards for EMC VMAX
All Disney Storage servers( EMC) must deploy storage management agents ECC
agent V6.1.0.12. This Agent is used for monitoring of host connected to VMAX
storage.
The Team deploying the Servers within the SAN is responsible for requesting and
connecting the SAN related cables to their host; to the SAN switch ports provided to
them as part of the Storage Allocation Request.
The Storage Team is responsible for requesting Floor space, power, fiber SAN
connections, and copper network connection as needed.
All Array names, pool names or configuration related name should be in lowercase.

6
VMAX Logical Naming Conventions
VMAXCOL1-2461


VMAX - EMC VMAX Storage
COL - Columbus
2461 - Serial number of the VMAX box

7
VMAX Storage Pool Naming Convention

8
Virtual (thin) pools are named as follows
drive size_RAID_poolnumber

Where 600_3r5_vp1 =
600Gb drive, RAID 5 3+1, virtual pool 1

VMAX Zoning Standards

The default Host Zoning to a EMC VMAX Storage Array will be a
total of 4 paths from the host, 2 connections to the EMC VMAX
Storage Array FA ports from each of the host 2 HBAs. For fault
tolerance each EMC VMAX FA port will be on separate engines and
SAN Fabrics.
For High Performance hosts we can provide up to a max of 16 paths
to the EMC VMAX Storage Array, 2 connections to the EMC VMAX
Storage Array from each of the host 8 HBAs.
Zoning will follow the EMC rule of 17 for FA usage. Host HBAs will
use the same processor and port on the odd and Even FAs.

EMC VMAX Hardware and Configuration


New VMAX arrays will be ordered with a 4 or 8 engines
This requirement is to spread RAID 5 3+1 across 4 engine
4 engine VMAXs can only be upgrade to 8 engines
This requirement is to spread RAID 5 3+1 across 4 engine
Storage cabinets will be ordered in pairs
This requirement is to keep the drives spread evenly
across all engines

EMC VMAX Replication (Copy Services)

Remote Disaster Recovery Replication is handled through SRDF/AR
with a 6 hour RPO. The SRDF devices must be divisible by 16.84
and not Virtual Pool (thin) devices. The source production device will
be GOLD, the BCV/R1 is BRONZE, the remote R2 is GOLD, the
remote BRONZE BCV.
Local Replication, Data base refresh, backup, etc, is handled by
EMC TimeFinder using either BCVs for non-thin devices or clones for
thin devices. The source devices for Local replication will be GOLD,
all target devices clones or BCVs will be SILVER or BRONZE.
This is so the source and target devices are not on the same
physical disk.
