I have an 8830 dedicated to R2 volumes (SRDF mirrored volumes). I need more space but don't want to buy more hard disks, so I asked EMC to reformat the box from Raid 0+1 to Raid-S However EMC says Raid-S is not longer convenient, since 72GB hard disks are to big for this raid. And the rebuild...

My EMC san is composed by 4 EMC Connectrix switches (2 16-ports and 2 32-ports), serving around 40 servers (26 of this are actually 13 unix (tru64) mission critical clusters). I still have 15 to 20% of free ports. I have an 8830 and a DMX 1000 Growing expectations (servers) for next year may...

I have an EMC Symm 8830 with 32GB cache. 13 Tru64 clusters are connected (2 nodes per cluster). The cache %hit is between 60 to 80%, according to april average WLA statistics. My support told me this is good, since for open systems typical behavior is between 40 to 80%. Is that correct? Or...

I have Symmetrix 8830 and DMX, san fabrics (2GB switches, though some HBAs at the servers are still 1GB). Some CCenter alerts by default send this message: AlertDescription:Symmetrix:KB/secreadis417495 (critical) And when I take a report of WLA I can see high peaks of throughput, but I don't...

Hi I'm just in charge of a new department, IT Architecture, I have to design the new organization of my department, responsible of the central systems (Unix servers, main storage, applications architecture, etc). Where can I find info of new concepts about this? I have some ideas on how to...

Hi I'm thinking in replace my fileservers (typical W2000 with file shares). Right now, for defining quotas and user polices (specially for prohibiting, auditing, or limiting access to any specified file type for example: MPEG, MP3) we use NTP Quota. I think Celerra doesn't bring this feature...

Hi I'm thinking in replace my fileservers (typical W2000). To define quotas and apply user polices (specially to forbid writing ohter files, mp3, wav, avis,etc) we use NTP Quota I think Celerra doesn't bring this feature. Is there any product that works with Celerra, so I can apply these policies?

Hi I have two SANs: EMC Connectrix and Compaq (HP) Storageworks. Both SANs are actually formed by Brocade Switches. EMC Switches are the Connetrix DS16B2 (16 ports 2GB). Compaq switches are 16ports 1GB. I want to connect MDRs (from a Compaq DLT TApe Library, actually ATL), to both SANs. These...

Does anybody knows where can I find doc templates, so it will be easy to fill all groups, clients, polices, etc. I already have in my server? Or also documentation "step by step" tips, suggestions, etc.

I have a Symmetrix 8530, running an Oracle un Tru64, a 250GB DB kind of data warehouse application. I want to use the best stripe set. I'm considering to use 16-members metavolumes, so IO is best distributed among DAs. However I've read that more than 4 or 8 members metavolumes, performance is...
