While the FC switch is being automatically zoned, there should be no other

A gateway system can store data on more than one array (DMX, VMAX, or VMAXe).
The first array configured is always the boot array and must contain the control

The EMC E-Lab Interoperability Navigator on Powerlink provides the number and
types of arrays supported.
Complete the following steps to make an additional Symmetrix array available to the
blades:
1. Zone the Fibre Channel switch to allow the blades to connect to the array.

instructions on manually zoning Fibre Channel switches by WWN.
2. Have the EMC administrator create the hypervolumes as needed.
3. Make the new hypervolumes available to the gateway system.
