1 Course Introduction


Course Description: Description: This course provides the knowledge required to deploy and manage Symmetrix-based local and remote replication solutions for business continuity needs. Operational details and implementation considerations for EMC TimeFinder, SRDF, and Open Replicator are covered. Lessons include considerations for performing local and remote replication operations in Physical and Virtualized environments. Hands-on lab exercises using Symmetrix Command Line Interface (SYMCLI) and Unisphere for VMAX provide the opportunity to learn and validate the material covered in the lectures. Lab exercises will be performed in physical (Sun Solaris and Windows 2008) and virtualized (VMware ESXi ) environments. Servers will be SAN attached to Symmetrix VMAX series arrays.

Audience: EMC Personnel, EMC Partners, and EMC Customers who will be involved in implementing and managing local and remote replication solutions for Business Continuity using TimeFinder, SRDF, and Open Replicator in an Open Systems environment.



Prerequisites: Symmetrix Foundations TimeFinder Foundations SRDF Foundations Open Replicator and Federated Live Migration Fundamentals Unisphere for VMAX Fundamentals Information Storage and Management (ISM) Virtualization Primer - Storage Integration



Upon completion of this course, you should be able to describe and use local and remote replication technologies available for the Symmetrix VMAX arrays to support Business Continuity operations. These solutions are available on all Symmetrix VMAX platforms, except where noted.



The new VMAX family consists of three products that are of current generation and optimized for specific markets and segments to beat the competition:

VMAX 40K

VMAX 20K

VMAX 10K

All three platforms are built on the industry leading Virtual Matrix Architecture and run the same Enginuity code.

The VMAX family and new features with Enginuity 5876, will accelerate your transformation to the hybrid cloud. They will expand EMC's leadership in virtual storage, offering higher performance, management automation, and data mobility technologies critical to the delivery of cloud-based infrastructure and IT services.



EMC introduces the next generation in high-end storage; the Symmetrix VMAX 40K and Enginuity 5876 operating environment, which builds on the Symmetrix VMAX 20K and 10K foundations of powerful, trusted, smart storage. This will provide even higher levels of performance, availability, and intelligence in the virtual data center.

Symmetrix VMAX 40K is the highest-performing, most scalable storage platform in the industry. With VMAX 40K, you get twice the performance and twice the capacity within the same space and power footprint. You can get the most performance in the smallest footprint with VMAX 40K, along with more performance per watt.

Symmetrix VMAX 40K incorporates many innovative enhancements, including high-density storage where space-constrained data centers can accommodate 33 percent more drives in the same footprint, and up to 3200 high-density drives on one array.

Symmetrix VMAX 40K also delivers System Bay Dispersion, so the array can be separated by up to 82 feet (25 meters) in data centers with floor-loading issues. This feature also helps you work around data center obstructions, such as columns, during installation.



EMC offers customers a full line of high-end storage platforms. Let us take a closer look at choosing among the different models.

Symmetrix VMAX 10K is the entry platform into the Symmetrix line and is ideal for those customers needing high-end scale and availability with the ease of smaller arrays. VMAX 10K can be installed quickly; in fact, EMC is seeing customers obtain the first I/O within a two-hour setup window. VMAX 10K offers the perfect balance among ease of use, performance, high availability, and price for smaller enterprises or upper mid-tier customers who require a multi-controller storage design.

When higher levels of scale, capacity, availability, and performance are essential, and full replication and high customization are required, Symmetrix VMAX 20K is the most appropriate choice. VMAX 20K offers up to eight Engines and 2,400 drives, providing support for mainframe and IBM i hosts as well as open environments. VMAX 20K is a customizable solution with high levels of scaling and performance.

Symmetrix VMAX 40K represents the highest performing, most agile storage platform in the world. Customers who need to run multiple, high-demand workloads on a single array, or are experiencing exceptional data growth, will benefit from the performance, scale, and high availability of VMAX 40K.

Compared with existing configurations, VMAX 40K features:

50% more CPU cores 2x more cache memory 2x more usable capacity 2x more Virtual Matrix fabrics 2x more performance (bandwidth and back-end IOPS) High-density configurations (3,200 drives) System Bay Dispersion



Now, let us take a look at some of the key features of Enginuity 5876, which has support for Symmetrix VMAX 40K, 20K, and 10K. Some functionality is only available in VMAX 40K and 20K. This will be pointed out as we discuss each new feature.

Enginuity 5876 introduces the following new features:

Federated Tiered Storage: The ability to use external array storage as a FAST VP tier

Virtual Provisioning and FAST VP: Now supported in IBM System z and IBM i environments

Unisphere for VMAX, the new Element Manager: A common look and feel when managing EMC storage

RecoverPoint Integration: For Symmetrix VMAX 40K and 20K arrays

SRDF for VMAX 10K Enhancements: Now three-sites and expanded interoperability to Symmetrix VMAX 40K and 20K

TimeFinder VP Snap: Now giving the Symmetrix VMAX family space-efficient snaps for Virtual Pool (VP) devices
