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
New symdevs: 0AA1:0AA8 - 120gb
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
4. set SCSI3 attribute on the devices
symconfigure -sid 2146 -cmd "set dev 0A99:0AA8 attribute=SCSI3_persist_reserv;"
commit
5. set dyn rdf attribute
symconfigure -sid 2146 -cmd "set dev 0A99:0AA0, attribute=dyn_rdf;" commit
6. script to create the storage group.
symaccess -sid 2146 add -name <PROD hostname01_strg> -type storage devs 0A99:0AA
8
symaccess -sid 2146 add -name <PROD hostname02_strg> -type storage devs 0A99:0AA

7. check devices
symaccess -sid 2146 show view <production host name01_02_mask>
