Symmetrix DMX-3 Hardware
ESCON channel
directors
The Symmetrix DMX-3 ESCON director has eight ESCON channel
interfaces for connection to host systems and eight high-speed paths
to global memory. The ESCON channel director interfaces to the host
channels through an eight-port ESCON channel interface adapter
and supports data transfer rates up to 17 MB/s per port.
The Symmetrix ESCON director can support up to 1,024 logical paths
per port when only the A port of the A and B ports of the processor is
configured and up to 512 logical paths per port when both the A and
B ports are configured.
Note: Contact your local EMC Sales Representative for ESCON channel
director availability.
The Symmetrix DMX-3 may support 2 to 10 ESCON channel
directors.
Table 19 on page 79 describes the ESCON channel
configurations supported in the DMX-3.
SDMS support
The Symmetrix ESCON director supports the SDMS (Symmetrix
Data Migration Service) application for migrating data over ESCON
channels from one Symmetrix system to ESCON channels on another
Symmetrix system.
