Direct-Connected Systems With Vnx Arrays; Access Logix - EMC VNX VG2 Setup Manual

Direct-connected
systems with VNX
arrays

Access Logix

If you are connecting the VNX gateway to a direct-connected VNX array:
Verify that the array being used is already installed and configured. If you are
◆
installing a new array with the VNX gateway, complete the array installation first.
Check the EMC E-Lab Interoperability Navigator on Powerlink to verify that the
◆
array is a supported model. Verify that the required array software versions are
installed.
Verify that one or two SAN ports on each array SP are available to connect to the
◆
blades.
Verify that there are at least four unused disks available in the array (these are the
◆
vault disks). The array must also have an available hot spare disk or another
unused disk that can be configured as a hot spare.
Verify that both SPs are up and functioning, that write cache is enabled, and that
◆
existing LUNs are not failed over.
EMC Access Logix™ is a licensed software option for a VNX array. If the customer
does not already have Access Logix enabled for an existing array, a license may have
been ordered with the VNX gateway system. If Access Logix is not enabled and a
license was not included in the order, contact the EMC Software Refresh group to
determine entitlement prior to enabling Access Logix.
