Description
EMC BCV Configuration (sample)
The production server "dopey" consists of two devices, SYMDEVs 0120 and 0121. The corresponding BCV SYMDEV references are "emc1_00dc" and "emc1_00dd", which are presented to BCV server "bashful".
In this instance, the EMC DeviceGroup will be created on the BCV server "bashful".
1.] Create DeviceGroup
bashful# symdg create bcv_prodg
bashful# symdg show bcv_prodg
Group Name: bcv_prodg
Group Type : REGULAR
Device Group in GNS : No
Valid : N/A
Symmetrix ID : N/A
Group Creation Time : Fri Sep 3 15:32:17 2010
Vendor ID : EMC Corp
Application ID : SYMCLI
Number of STD Devices in Group : 0
Number of Associated GK's : 0
Number of Locally-associated BCV's : 0
Number of Locally-associated VDEV's : 0
Number of Locally-associated TGT's : 0
Number of Remotely-associated VDEV's(STD RDF): 0
Number of Remotely-associated BCV's (STD RDF): 0
Number of Remotely-associated TGT's(TGT RDF) : 0
Number of Remotely-associated BCV's (BCV RDF): 0
Number of Remotely-assoc'd RBCV's (RBCV RDF) : 0
Number of Remotely-assoc'd BCV's (Hop-2 BCV) : 0
Number of Remotely-assoc'd VDEV's(Hop-2 VDEV): 0
Number of Remotely-assoc'd TGT's (Hop-2 TGT) : 0
2.] Establish what the EMC Symmetrix ID (SID) is:
bashful# vxdmpadm listenclosure all
ENCLR_NAME ENCLR_TYPE ENCLR_SNO STATUS ARRAY_TYPE LUN_COUNT
===================================================================================
disk Disk DISKS CONNECTED Disk 3
emc0 EMC 000290300822 CONNECTED A/A 2
emc_clariion0 EMC_CLARiiON CK200053300424 CONNECTED CLR-A/PF 4
emc1 EMC 000290301414 CONNECTED A/A 13
ams_wms0 AMS_WMS 75050205 CONNECTED A/A-A 6
3.] Add the EMC "STD" SYMDEV references to the EMC DeviceGroup "bcv_prodg"
bashful# symld -sid 414 -g bcv_prodg add dev 0120
bashful# symld -sid 414 -g bcv_prodg add dev 0121
bashful# symdg show bcv_prodg
Group Name: bcv_prodg
Group Type : REGULAR
Device Group in GNS : No
Valid : Yes
Symmetrix ID : 000290301414

Number of Remotely-associated VDEV's(STD RDF): 0
Number of Remotely-associated BCV's (STD RDF): 0
Number of Remotely-associated TGT's(TGT RDF) : 0
Number of Remotely-associated BCV's (BCV RDF): 0
Number of Remotely-assoc'd RBCV's (RBCV RDF) : 0
Number of Remotely-assoc'd BCV's (Hop-2 BCV) : 0
Number of Remotely-assoc'd VDEV's(Hop-2 VDEV): 0
Number of Remotely-assoc'd TGT's (Hop-2 TGT) : 0

4.] Add EMC "BCV" SYMDEV references to the EMC DeviceGroup "bcv_prodg"
bashful# symbcv -sid 414 -g bcv_prodg associate dev 00dc BCV0dc
bashful# symbcv -sid 414 -g bcv_prodg associate dev 00dd BCV0dd
bashful# symdg show bcv_prodg
