Configuring EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX systems

This section provides information about configuring the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX for attachment to a SAN Volume Controller.

Supported models of the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX controllers
The SAN Volume Controller supports models of the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX controllers.
Supported firmware levels for the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX
The EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX must use a firmware level that is supported by the SAN Volume Controller.
Concurrent maintenance on the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX
Concurrent maintenance is the capability to perform I/O operations to the EMC Symmetrix or Symmetrix DMX while simultaneously performing maintenance operations on it.
User interfaces on EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX
Ensure that you are familiar with the user interface applications that support the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX systems.
Sharing the EMC Symmetrix or Symmetrix DMX system between a host and a SAN Volume Controller cluster
There are restrictions for sharing EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX systems between a host and a SAN Volume Controller cluster.
Switch zoning limitations for the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX
There are limitations in switch zoning for the SAN Volume Controller and the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX systems.
Quorum disks on EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX
The SAN Volume Controller chooses managed disks (MDisks) that are presented by the EMC Symmetrix or Symmetrix DMX as quorum disks.
Advanced functions for EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX
SAN Volume Controller cache-disabled virtual disks (VDisks) can be used as the source or target in Symmetrix advanced copy functions (for example, SRDF and TimeFinder).
LU creation and deletion on EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX
A logical unit (LU) that is exported by an EMC Symmetrix or Symmetrix DMX, meaning it is visible to a host, is either a Symmetrix device or a Meta device.
Configuring settings for the EMC Symmetrix and Symmetrix DMX
A number of settings and options are available through the EMC Symmetrix configuration interface.
