Configuring EMC VMAX systems
You can configure an EMC VMAX system to attach to the SAN Volume Controller system.
Note: The VMAX settings provided in this section must be applied before configuring SAN Volume Controller LUNS.
- Supported models of the EMC VMAX controllers
The SAN Volume Controller system supports specific models of the EMC VMAX controllers. - Supported firmware levels for the EMC VMAX
The EMC VMAX system must use a firmware level that the SAN Volume Controller system supports. - Concurrent maintenance on the EMC VMAX
Concurrent maintenance is the capability to complete I/O operations to the EMC VMAX while simultaneously completing maintenance operations on it. - User interfaces on EMC VMAX
Ensure that you are familiar with the user interface applications that support the EMC VMAX systems. - Sharing the EMC VMAX system between a host and a SAN Volume Controller clustered system
There are restrictions for sharing EMC VMAX systems between a host and the SAN Volume Controller system. - Switch zoning limitations for the EMC VMAX
There are limitations in switch zoning for the SAN Volume Controller and EMC VMAX systems. - Quorum disks on EMC VMAX
The system chooses managed disks (MDisks) that are presented by the EMC VMAX as quorum disks. - Advanced functions for EMC VMAX
SAN Volume Controller cache-disabled volumes can be used as the source or target in VMAX advanced copy functions (for example, Symmetrix Remote Data Facility [SRDF] and TimeFinder). - LU creation and deletion on EMC VMAX
A logical unit (LU) that is exported by an EMC VMAX, meaning that it is visible to a host, is either a VMAX device or a Meta device. - Configuring settings for the EMC VMAX
A number of settings and options are available through the EMC VMAX configuration interface.
