Step by Step Procedure for storage provision in DMX-4

Step by Step Procedure for storage provision in DMX-4

Creating STD device

·         Verify the Symmetrix status

symconfigure –sid 4282 verify

·         If any hung activities found abort

symconfigure –sid 4282 abort

·         Verify the available free space

symconfigure -sid SymmID [-v | -freespace [-units cylinders | MB]] list

or

symdisk –sid 4282 list  –disk_group 2

·         Create Command file

Create dev count=8, size=12394, data_member_count=3, emulation=FBA,  config=RAID-5,

disk_group=2;

·         Verify the command line syntax by performing PREVIEW using Symconfigure command

Symconfigure –sid 4282 –f Create_hypers.txt –v –noprompt preview

·         Verify the Array readiness by performing PREPARE using Symconfigure command

Symconfigure –sid 4282 –f Create_hypers.txt –v –noprompt prepare

·         Execute COMMIT using Symconfigure command

Symconfigure –sid 4282 –f Create_hypers.txt –v –noprompt commit

·         Verify the newly created devices

Symdev –sid 4282 list –noport

Forming Meta Device

oVerify the Symmetrix status

symconfigure –sid 4282 verify

oIf any hung activities found abort

symconfigure –sid 4282 abort

oCreate Command file

Form  meta from dev 26CA, config=striped, stripe_size=1920;

add dev 26CB:26E4 to meta 26ca;

oVerify the command line syntax by performing PREVIEW using Symconfigure

ommand

Symconfigure –sid 4282 –f meta.txt –v –noprompt preview

oVerify the Array readiness  by performing PREPARE using Symconfigure

command

Symconfigure –sid 4282 –f meta.txt –v –noprompt prepare

oExecute COMMIT using Symconfigure command

Symconfigure –sid 4282 –f meta.txt –v –noprompt commit

oVerify the newly created meta devices

Symdev –sid 4282 list –noport

Mappping

·         Find the host connected Director and Port details

symcfg –sid 4282 list –connections

oFind the available addresses on that port

symcfg –sid 4282 list –address –available –dir 7d –p 0

oCreate a command file for mapping

map dev 26ca to dir 7d:0, lun=036;

oVerify the command line syntax by performing PREVIEW using

Symconfigure command

symconfigure –sid 4282 –f create_hypers.txt –v –nop preview

oVerify the Array readiness  by performing PREPARE using

Symconfigure command

symconfigure –sid 4282 –f create_hypers.txt –v –nop prepare

oExecute COMMIT using Symconfigure command

symconfigure –sid 4282 –f create_hypers.txt –v –nop commit

oCheck the device have been mapped

symcfg –sid 4282 list –address –available –dir 7d –p 0

Mappping

oMasking devices to the host

symmaskdb –sid 4282 –wwn 10000000c93f62cf –dir 7d –p 0 add devs  26ca –nop

Symmask –sid 4282 –refresh

oCheck whether devices have masked

symmaskdb -sid 4282 list database -dir 7d -p 0
