Volume/Device Type
STD - standard devices, 2-Way-Mir/RAID-5/RAID-6/etc.
VDEV - configured for Timefinder/snap
TDEV - thin device, used for virtual provision
R1/R2 - for SRDF
DATA - for virtual provision, store actual data for TDEV
SAVE - for Timefinder/snap and SRDF/A DSE, store actual data for VDEV/R1/R2
DRV - dynamice reallocation volumes devices, for symmetrix optimizer and FAST

Volume/Device Type
Named LUN in industry;
Also called Symmetrix device in EMC, an identifier will be assigned to it;
Enginuity maps a logical volume to physical disks on back-end(hyper-volumes or
splits);
Present to a host through Symmetrix channel diretor port after device masking

Auto Meta
If you want to create a single regular device larger than the maximum size, Symmetrix
will create a metadevice instead when auto meta feature is enabled. If auto meta is
 disabled (which is by default), creating device fails.
symconfigure -sid xxx -cmd "set symmetrix auto_meta=ENABLE,
min_auto_meta_size=65520, auto_meta_member_size=16380,
auto_meta_config=concatenated;" commit
min_auto_meta_size: Specifies the size threshold that triggers auto meta
creation;
auto_meta_member_size: Specifies the default meta member size in cylinders
when the auto_meta feature is enabled;
auto_meta_config: Specifies the default meta config when the auto_meta feature is
enabled;

Pool
msnap: contain save devices, used by TimeFinder/Snap;
mrdf_dse: contain save deivces, used by SRDF/A DSE;
mthin: contain data devices, used by virtual provisioning.

Thin Provisioning
1. Find device with the same size
DATA devices in a pool should have the same size;
symdev -sid xxx list -all -cyl
- From the output, find devices with the same size
from the Cap(capacity) field, say 1150;
2. Create thin devices
touch mktdev.cfg
echo "create dev count=8, size=1150, config=TDEV, emulation=FBA;" > mktdev.cfg
symconfigure -sid xxx -file mktdev.cfg prep -nop ---------------> Perform a check
before making the change
symconfigure -sid xxx -file mktdev.cfg commit -nop
symdev -sid xxx list -tdev -unbound -------------------------------> Display the created thin
devices
3. Create data devices
touch mkddev.cfg
echo "create dev count=8, size=1150, config=2-Way-Mir, emulation=fba,
attribute=datadev;" > mkddev.cfg
symconfigure -sid xxx -file mkddev.cfg commit -nop
symdev -sid xxx list -datadev -nonpooled
4. Create a thin pool
symconfigure -sid xxx -cmd "create pool P1 type=thin;" commit -nop
5. Add data devices into a pool
symconfigure -sid xxx -cmd "add dev 1A9:1AA to pool P1 type=thin,
member_state=ENABLE;" commit -nop
symcfg -sid xxx list -pool -thin
symcfg -sid xxx show -pool P1 -thin
6. Bind thin devices to a thin pool
Symconfigure -sid xxx -cmd "bind tdev 1A1:1A4 to pool P1;" commit -nop
symcfg -sid xxx list -tdev
symcfg -sid xxx show -pool P1 -thin -detail
7. Pre-allocate space on TDEV(optional)
 touch alloc.cfg
echo "start allocate on tdev 1A1:1A2 start_cyl=0 size=100 MB;" > alloc.cfg
symconfigure -sid xxx -f alloc.cfg commit -nop
symcfg -sid xxx list -tdev
symcfg -sid xxx show -pool P1 -thin -detail
8. Provision thin devices to hosts as normal devices
Done
9. Check TDEV info
symcfg list -tdev -devs 1180:1182 -sid 316
10. Unbind a thin device
symconfigure -sid 815 -cmd 'unbind tdev 02ED from pool elcsesx6263;' -nop
commit
11. Remove date devices from a pool
symconfigure -sid 815 -cmd 'disable dev 02B2:02B4 in pool
elcsesx6263,type=thin;' -nop commit
symconfigure -sid 815 -cmd 'remove dev 02B2:02B4 from pool elcsesx6263

Open Replicator Demo

1. 2 x Arrays, one of them must be VMAX/DMX who provides Open replicator software.
Open replicator is also referred to as ORS(open replicator for symmetrix);
2. VMAX 098 as control, VMAX 316 as remote:

4. Assume: hosts are accessing 316 devices through 7H:0 on VMAX 316, we want to hot
pull data with donor update option on to VMAX 098;
5. Create a zone: a director FA port from VMAX 098(say 7H:0) + a director FA port from
VMAX 316(say 7H:0 too) + host HBA WWNs to VMAX 316 7H:0
6. Prepare storage view on both VMAX 098 and VMAX 316:
VMAX 098 storage view:
Storage group: 0B59:0B5B;
Initiator group: nothing;
Port group: 7H:0;
VMAX 316:
Storage group: 1E37:1E39;
Initiator group: 7H:0 WWN of VMAX 098 + host HBA WWNs;
Port group: 7H:0;
7. Verify array connection:

team1@Redhatse ~]$ symsan -sid 098 list -sanports -dir 7h -p 0

8. Get WWNs for 1E37:1E39:

07H:0 RW ...F.X 512 5121 3 1E39 60000970000xxxxxx3165330314533

9. Create a mapping file for open replicator:

[team1@Redhatse ~]$ cat KC_098_316_hotpull_wwn.txt

Symdev=000xxxxxx098:0B59 wwn=60000970000xxxxxx316533031453337

Symdev=000xxxxxx098:0B5A wwn=60000970000xxxxxx316533031453338

Symdev=000xxxxxx098:0B5B wwn=60000970000xxxxxx316533031453339

10. Now, everything is fine. We should power off the host which access 1E37:1E39 on
VMAX 316 or delete WWNs of the host from the initiator group of the storage view
defined in step 6 since host write to remote devices should be avoided per open
replicator document;
11. Create an open replicator session and active it:

[team1@Redhatse ~]$ symrcopy -f KC_098_316_hotpull_wwn.txt create -copy -hot

-donor_update -name KC_hotpull_1

[team1@Redhatse ~]$ symrcopy -f KC_098_316_hotpull_wwn.txt activate

12. Check the open replicator copy progress:

[team1@Redhatse ~]$ symrcopy -f KC_098_316_hotpull_wwn.txt query

Device File Name : KC_098_316_hotpull_wwn.txt

13. Now, host access can be restored at VMAX 098. We should add WWNs of the host
from the initiator group of the storage view defined in step 6 for VMAX 098 and delete
 them from VMAX 316;
14. Terminate it:

[team1@Redhatse ~]$ symrcopy -f KC_098_316_hotpull_wwn.txt terminate -force

15. Done.

2. Check Connectivity between Arrays(Notes: available RDF group num. is a number

which has not been used. It is required to collect a number from each array and keep
them the same is a recommendation, for example, in this example, 110 is going to be
used for both local and remote arrays)

Source/Target vs. Local/Remote

Source: R1;
Target: R2;
Local: based on the view of connected host/SE, local may be SRDF source or
SRDF target;
Remote: based on the view of connected host/SE, once you run commands on a
host attached to the remote array directly, the remote becomes local to the host
and the other array becomes local.

Type Explanation
 RDF-BI-DIR - This is the state of the RDF group when the group is defined (i.e.,
before any RDF devices are assigned to the RDF group). This value will also be
shown when both R1 and R2 devices are defined to the RDF group.
RDF-R1 - This value indicates that the RDF group contains only R1 devices.
RDF-R2 - This value indicates that the RDF group contains only R2 devices.
Caution!!: For fibre channel and GigE remote directors this state field does not
indicate the capability of the link. The Fibre Channel and Ethernet communication
protocols are bi-directional architectures. The "Type" field only reflects the type of
RDF devices on the RDF director.

Setup and create a migration session

1. Run below commands to create the session:

symdm environment -src_sid 3184 -tgt_sid 0129 -setup

symdm create [-precopy] -src_sid 3184 -tgt_sid 0129 -sg lcseb246_sg [-val

2. Rescan on servers to discover new paths

Query

symdm -sid 3184 -sg lcseb246_sg list [-v] [-detail] [-pairs_info]

symdm -sid 3184 -sg lcseb246_sg list [-v] [-detail] [-sg_info]

Cancel

symdm -sid 0129 -sg lcseb246_sg cancel [-nop]

Cutover

symdm -sid 0129 -sg lcseb246_sg list -v -detail -pairs_info | grep 'Migration
symdm -sg lcseb246_sg cutover -sid 0129 [-nop]

Revert

symdm cancel -sid 0129 -sg lcseb246_sg -revert [-nop]

Commit

symdm commit -sid 0129 -sg lcseb246_sg [-nop]

Recover
The recover command can be used if a migration step fails due to some problem in the
environment. After fixing environment issues, a recover operation can be leverated to pick
up where the create command failed and completes the create operation.

symdm create -src_sid 3184 -tgt_sid 0129 -sg lcseb246_sg [-nop]

Remove the migration environment

symdm -src_sid 3184 -tgt_sid 0129 environment -remove [-nop]
