The VMAX3 arrays are virtually provisioned. The VMAX3 arrays is delivered factory pre -configured where Data Pools and RAID protection levels,
SLO are already created. With HYPERMAX OS 5977, Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST) eliminates all of the admin istrative overhead previously
required to create a FAST environment.
Auto-provisioning groups are used to allocate VMAX3 storage to hosts. VMAX3 arrays are 100% virtually provisioned and thus Thin De vices are
presented to the hosts.
An Auto Provisioning consists of Storage Group, Port Group, Initiator Group and associated together to form a Masking View
1. Storage Group: A storage group is a logical collection of VMAX thin devices that are to be managed together, typically constituting a single
application.
Storage group will have the group of devices which needs to be presented to the host.
Storage groups can only contain devices or other storage groups
Devices volume may belong to more than one storage group
Each storage group can have 16K storage groups
Each storage group can contain up to 4000 devices.
Each parent storage group can have up to 32 child storage groups
Devices can be moved between Child storage groups non-disruptively
2. Port Group: A port group is a logical collection of VMAX front end ports where luns are mapped & through which luns are masked with host from
storage.
3. Initiator Group: A initiator group is a logical collection of HBA WWNs or iSCSI name of a host initiator.
4. Masking View: Masking view is a container that consists of st orage group, port group, and initiator group.
One of each type of group(SG,PG & IG) is associated together to form a Masking View
Masking is not permitted for a child storage group which is contained by a parent storage group already part of a masking vie w.
Example: file.txt contain below command which will create 2 x 200 GB LUN
OR
symaccess -sid xx add -name <IG_NAME> -type init -wwn <hba pwwn>
symaccess -sid xx add -name <IG_NAME> -type init -wwn <hba pwwn>
# Creating new parent initiator group and add child group to parent
Example:
symaccess -sid xx create view -name MV_NAME -ig IG_NAME -sg SG_NAME -pg
PG_NAME
OR
symaccess -sid xx create view -name MV_NAME -ig PIG_NAME -sg PSG_NAME -pg
PG_NAME
Example: file.txt contain below command which will create 2 x 200 GB LUN
OR
symconfigure -sid -xx –cmd “create dev count=2, emulation=FBA,
config=TDEV, size=200 GB, dynamic_capability=DYN_RDF,
device_attr=SCSI3_PERSIST_RESERV;” commit -nop
