EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 Product Guide

Performance and Optimization

Multiple channel directors

The Symmetrix DMX-3 channel directors process data from the host 
and manage access to global memory over a direct matrix technology 
(

Figure 8 on page 54

). Each channel director on the Symmetrix 

DMX-3 supports eight internal links to global memory. The 
Symmetrix DMX-3 may support up to ten qualified channel directors 
that support connectivity to either mainframe systems or open 
systems hosts. 

Note: 

“Channel director descriptions”  on page 76

 contains detailed 

information on each Symmetrix channel director. Contact your local EMC 
Sales Representative for specific supported channel director configurations.

A Symmetrix DMX-3 can support simultaneous connections to 
mainframe systems hosts and open systems hosts when the required 
Symmetrix ESP software is installed on the Symmetrix system.

The DMX-3 supports these channel directors:

◆

ESCON directors (mainframe hosts)

◆

Fibre Channel directors (open systems hosts)

◆

Multiprotocol channel directors with these mezzanine card 
connections for:
• Fibre Channel (open systems hosts)
• GigE for SRDF connectivity

Note: 

Contact your local EMC Sales Representative for GigE remote 

support availability.

• GigE  IPv4/v6  (IPsec  capable)
• iSCSI (open systems hosts)
• FICON (mainframe hosts)

Channel speeds 
and cable lengths

Symmetrix system channel speeds (data transfer rate) and cable 
lengths vary according to the type of channel director. This section 
describes the data transfer rates and supported cable lengths for the 
different channel directors.

Fibre Channels

Fibre Channels transfer data at speeds up to 4 Gb/s Symmetrix 
systems support multimode cable lengths from 10 ft (three meters) to 
1,640 ft (500 m).

Note: 

Table 22 on page 97

 provides more detailed supported cable distance 

information. 

Table 57 on page 304

 provides part numbers for EMC Fibre 

Channel cables.
