Configuring and Controlling Your Datacenter
EMC Ionix ControlCenter simplifies the tasks around configuring and controlling your
storage assets by providing tools for planning a datacenter, and creating, configuring,
allocating, and provisioning storage.
This chapter contains the following scenarios:
◆ Validating and optimizing a SAN configuration ............................................... 101
◆ Allocating storage to a host from a Symmetrix array........................................ 119
◆ Allocating CLARiiON devices (LUNs) to a host ................................................. 155
◆ Adding devices to a CLARiiON metaLUN for a host .......................................... 163
◆ Adding HP XP LUSEs to a host......................................................................... 170
◆ Deallocating storage from a host .................................................................... 179
◆ Allocating storage using AutoPath .................................................................. 187
Validating and optimizing a SAN configuration
This example demonstrates how a storage administrator uses Ionix ControlCenter SAN
Advisor
™
to model and validate a SAN environment for interoperability, high
availability, configuration rules, and best practices.
The administrator performs the following tasks:
◆ Validates the existing SAN environment
◆ Models proposed SAN changes for interoperability, availability, and performance
◆ Builds an action plan for implementing changes
◆ Implements the changes
◆ Verifies correct plan information
This configuration consists of a new HP XP 48 connected through a Brocade switch to
a single Windows host. After building the existing environment in SAN Advisor, the
administrator will add new hosts to the design to verify the interoperability of new
configurations.
