EMC VPLEX with GeoSynchrony 4.1 Installation and Setup Guide
42
Setting up VPLEX
3. Type the following command to display the meta-volume status:
ll /clusters/cluster-1/system-volumes/
<meta-volume_name>
In the output, verify that the attribute
active
shows a value of
true
.
4. Type the following command to display the cluster status:
cluster status
The meta-volume takes time to resynchronize with the mirror. Wait until the
output from
cluster status
shows an
operational-status
of
ok
before proceeding.
Also verify that there are no health indications in the output.
Output example:
Cluster cluster-1
operational-status:
ok
transitioning-indications:
transitioning-progress:
health-state:
ok
health-indications:
Task 7: Enable the
front-end ports
From the VPlexcli prompt, type the following command:
configuration enable-front-end-ports
Task 8: Set up ESRS if
necessary
ESRS must be deployed by EMC personnel. If ESRS will be used in the VPLEX
implementation, EMC personnel should follow the procedure described in the ESRS
documentation on the GTS website, in the
Application Download
area, under
EMC
Secure Remote Support Gateway
>
Implementation

Install Procedure
.
Task 9: Expose
storage to hosts
Use a VPlexcli session or the VPLEX Management Console GUI to perform this task.
Recommendations:
◆
If a storage volume is equal to or larger than the desired virtual volume capacity,
create an extent the size of the desired virtual volume.
◆
If a storage volume is smaller than the desired virtual volume capacity, create a
single extent per storage volume, and then use devices to concatenate or stripe
these extents into a larger device.
◆
Create one view for each set of hosts that require access to the same storage.
You can use the VPlexcli or the Management Console GUI to expose storage. The
basic steps are the same for either:
◆
To use the GUI, proceed to
◆
To use the VPlexcli, proceed to
“If you are using the VPlexcli” on page 43
.
If you are using the
GUI
To use the GUI:
1. Open a browser and type the following:
https://
<mgmt_server_address>
where
<mgmt_server_address>
is the IP address of the management server's public
IP port.
