EMC Symmetrix configuration prerequisites
For the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) to discover EMC Symmetrix storage arrays, ensure that your storage network's physical connections and device settings are properly configured.
The physical connection requirements are as follows:
Fibre Channel connection between each Symmetrix array and the SAN fabric.
The device setup requirements include the following:
You configure an array for discovery using the EMC Symmetrix Command Line Interface (SYMCLI). The SymCLI utilities must be configured on a discovery host. Install EMC Solutions Enabler (SYMCLI) on the discovery host.
IMS can also use the EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF).
Veritas Resiliency Platform supports SYMCLI 7.x for IMS discovery of the EMC Symmetrix storage enclosures.
For the complete information on supported hardware and software, see the Hardware and Software Compatibility List (HSCL).
The IMS discovers all in-band Symmetrix storage arrays with a Fibre Channel or SCSI connection to a discovery host where SYMCLI is installed.
The IMS also supports discovery of EMC Symmetrix storage arrays through remote SYMAPI servers. This discovery method does not require in-band array connectivity to the discovery host specified in the array configuration. However, the host on which the SYMAPI server is running must have in-band connectivity with the Symmetrix array.
For the IMS to discover EMC Symmetrix arrays using a remote SYMAPI server, you must specify the remote SYMAPI server while configuring the enclosure in IMS.
See Configuring the remote SYMAPI server for EMC Symmetrix array discovery.
See Verifying the configuration of a remote SYMAPI server.
To discover and manage EMC SRDF replication technology, you need to create appropriate device groups on hosts which have EMC Symmetrix Gatekeeper devices mapped. Device groups need to be defined on such hosts in both the production and recovery data centers. You must add these hosts to the local IMSs so that Resiliency Platform can discover the device groups.
See Adding application hosts .
For more information on requirements for array-based replication, see the Solutions guides.
