Do you use any lower-end SAN products (EqualLogic, EMC, LeftHand Networks, Compellent Technologies, etc.) in your setup? If so, what do you use?
does anyone know how to take multiple heat summary's from EMC and combine them into one report, or spreadsheet, fairly easily? When you have about 100 hots to review it is very tedious to go through each heat report. EMC CE's I know have used some script to consolidate them...just curious if i have...

Can I enable the dual path (EMC) if so what's the command in Solaris
How are you tracking your storage allocations from your DMX to your servers? We began with the Excel-based design workbook that EMC delivers at the end of the installation engagement & that works up to a point. I've written code that loads the info into SQL & does some reporting on it, but is...
I would like to know whether synchronous replication is possible between EMC DMX4 and EMC Clariion Cx3-80 storage systems. I understand MirrorView software replicates only between two Clariion CX models and SAN Copy configured on the Clariion CX3-80 could only do asynchronous replication, but does...
What do EMC recommend as best practices for number of disks in a raid group for RAID 6, (8+2) with SATA drives with A CX3 Clariion array?
We are implementing Microsoft Exchange on a EMC DMX3500 DASD Subsystem that has 146GB and 300GBs. Talked to Gartner Group Consultant Bob Passmore and he is strongly recommending RAID 1: his justification is based on the fact that RAID 1 is double the number of disk drives; therefore you cut what...
I have a Sun x4100 has two qlogix qle2460 HBAs both connected to a 3Par SAN and a EMC cx700 SAN. When both HBA's are active in non-failover mode we can see the LUNs in /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/3 and 4 - BUT fdisk does not see the devices. If we have the HBAs set in failover mode we only see the LUNs on...
I have a EMC Symetrix DMX, which requires three phase power. Unfortunately our site only has single phase power. Is it possible to bypass the three phase PDU and connect directly to the 10A connections on the power strips at the back of the boxes. Will this work?
We are installing 5 Sun Solaris servers (T2000's) for Oracle databases(no applications) in a RAC environment on EMC disk drives. The argument has come up as to whether using the Sun Cluster v3.2 is necessary when RAC is installed. One group states that the Sun Clustering complicates the...
Who uses Isilon? Has anyone seen a pros and cons list developed for Isilon? I'm doing some research on Isilon, EMC, and Pillar Systems. We are a media content driven organization and the content will be stored on one of the three or a combination of the three storage company's products. At the same...

Looking for referals/recommendations for software solution to provide bare metal restore to different hardware. Note: SQL in use with medical data. Server is Raid 1, Win 2000 DC Would like to use workstation for bare metal restore in a pinch. Symantec claim to provide this but I'm skeptical.
We are considering moving some apps from individual blades (a growing expense) to a partition of an existing, underused i520. One hang up is DASD, especially moving or reloading the terabytes of data currently held in our SAN. With the new partioning of an i5, especially when running an AIX, or...
Hi, What are the possible scenarios where one could have data inconsistency when using Array based Synchronous Replication. What could be done to prevent it, and has anybody had any real life experiences with these scenarios? Thanks, Steve
We are trying to determine if there is any impact to MS SQL 2000 servers given either a iSCSI SAN vs Fibre Channel SAN. The majority of the databases are read/query intensive during the day, and write intensive during the overnight job cycle. Currently we have 8 SQL database servers (Windows 2000)...
