Type the following command from the VPlexcli prompt, to display the software
versions:
version -a
In the output, confirm that the Product Version matches the required version in the
VPLEX release notes.
1. From the VPlexcli prompt, type the following command to list all director port
WWNs (identified in the command output as addresses):
ll /engines/**/ports -p
2. Zone the storage to the port WWNs of the VPLEX back-end ports, following the
recommendations in the Implementation and Planning Best Practices for EMC
VPLEX Technical Notes, which are available on Powerlink.
From the VPlexcli prompt, type the following command:
configuration continue-system-setup
Note that this part of the EZ-Setup finishes by rediscovering the back-end arrays.
Wait several minutes for the rediscovery to complete before you proceed to the next
task.
1. From the VPlexcli prompt, type the following command to list available storage
volumes:
ll /clusters/cluster-2/storage-elements/storage-volumes -p
Output example (partial):
Note: EMC recommends that the meta-volume and mirror be on separate arrays.
From the ll output, identify the two back-end storage volumes (78 GB minimum)
to be used for the meta-volume and a mirror of the meta-volume.
Note: If you do not see any available volumes:
a. Type the following commands to rediscover the back-end storage:
cd /clusters/cluster-2/storage-elements/storage-arrays
array re-discover <array_name>
b. Type the following command to verify the availability of the provisioned storage:
