Configuring and Controlling Your Datacenter
5. Verifies the flag settings for the host operating system against the EMC Host
Support Matrix
.
6. Clicks Help and displays the online Help that describes the flag settings.
7. Clicks Cancel to close the wizard once the port flag settings are confirmed.
The administrator has now verified that FA-3D Port 0 and the new host HBA are
compatible.
Verifying fan-in ratio
The administrator uses Path Details view to determine the number of HBAs connected
to the selected Symmetrix port to ensure that the fan-in ratio stays within EMC
guidelines based on the
EMC Support Matrix on the EMC online support website.
To do this, the administrator:
1. On the Console toolbar, clicks the pull-down menu of the blue Storage Allocation
button and selects Path Details.
2. In the Console tree, expands the Symmetrix array down to the director (Storage
Systems, Symmetrix Arrays, 000187400075, Host Directors, FA-3D), and then
drags Port 0 into the target panel.
A table showing the path details for this host appears if there are HBAs zoned to
this port, or, if not (as in this case), the target panel displays the message:
There are no paths to display in this view.
Determining devices per channel
The administrator uses Properties view to determine the number of devices on the
selected port to ensure that the configuration stays within EMC guidelines based on
the
EMC Support Matrix on the EMC online support website.
To do this, the administrator:
1. On the Console toolbar, clicks the Properties view button.
2. In the Console tree, expands the Symmetrix array down to the director (Storage
Systems, Symmetrix Arrays, 000187400075, Host Directors, FA-3D), and then
drags Port 0 into the Properties view.
The number of devices connected to the port are displayed in the # Devices
column (Figure 110).
