SAN centralization
You will just have one fabric to manage. The zones will distribute to all switches that are a member of the fabric. Device "masking" combined with old fashioned zoning is how you allocate LUNs to servers. Device masking is generaly a software feature internal to the storage unit that... -
ECC and Oracle Agent
Your target for the Oracle agent install needs to target a supported OS, such as AIX 5.2 or windows box... and that box will proxy monitor the Oracle instances on 5.3 servers for you. Note the comment below that states both the proxy and the client must be the same version of Solutions enabler... -
CX600 adding disk
When you say "controller" are you referring to 1 service process or 1 LCC? If the 2 clarrion service processors disagree, it will use the higher of the 2 errors... for example if SPA can see the new disk, but SPB cant... the result will be that the disk is Empty. Both Service processors... -
Does this sound right? FC or iSCSI SAN
What you propose will yield you 1.8 Tb of usable data. The problem I see with that is that all the luns, for all 8 servers will be sharing the same physical spindles... so your Exchange logs, and data, SQL logs and SQL data and SQL tempDB will all be on the same phyisical disks... which is... -
Need a recommendation for a NAS/SAN
1) That depends on how much ethernet bandwidth you plan to feed the ESX server. You would have to calculate the total bandwidth needed by the 20 VMs for both network and storage, and architect the ESX server with enough ethernet to support it. Also if your storage and ESX servers are on... -
Does this sound right? FC or iSCSI SAN
That statement is not true. It could be true if you were comparing a Windows server running on cheap PC grade hardware... but enterprise grade server hardware running Windows 2003 can and will drive data 'that' fast on FCP. Important performance facters I haven't seen disclosed yet are the #... -
What is the terminal settings for a CX500
That no conventional 'console' port that you can connect to with hyperterminal. It is a Windows PPP dial up networking port to connect to via a null modem cable. The correct settings are 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, 115200 baud. but as mentioned, its PPP not plain ascii. If you bought this... -
Will EMC PowerPath affect existing SSA and SCSI disk names on AIX?
It shouldn't touch or change any hdisk names. It will add/change hdiskpowerXX when it discovers redundant hdisks pointing to the same EMC lun. PowerPath will find these redundant hdisks (paths) and add a single hdiskpowerX for each lun. The hdiskpower is what you will use for your volume... -
hdisk & hdiskpower
a useful command for you will be: powermt display dev=all This will show you which hdisks belong to which hdiskpower and the current path status. -
number of drive in Raid5
That recommendation didn't make sense to me either. I assume you are referring to Clariion best practices. I could agree with 5 through 9, but I don't understand the 5 'or' 9. I think its a cosmetic thing as the DAE's hold 15 disks.... so 5 or 9 would allow you to have a nice pretty 3 raid... -
Does inventory have WWN data from HBA?
Thanks Neil, Not sure if it will matter, all the servers are Dell with Emulex cards.- Korwin

Does inventory have WWN data from HBA?
Hello, I'm a Storage Administrator (Not a SMS admin or even a user) at a large company with over 600 Windows boxes. I have need of a report that will list the Windows Server names, and list the WWN's of the fiber channel host bus adapters installed in each server. I don't know how hard or...- Korwin

SAN Switch specific forums?
I didn't find any SAN Switch related forums... are there none? Currently having some issues with Cisco MDS 9140s and Radius Autentication, and switches rebooting, and was just looking for some user community feedback related to the Cisco products.
