Storage Pool/Raid Group Overview CIFS Windows Share Array Storage Pool/Raid Group LUNs File System NFS Hosts Disk Drive Linux share

How to create Storage Pool Open the Unisphere client Go to storage -> Storage Pool And select Pool tab

Storage Pool/Raid Group CIFS Windows Share Array Storage Pool/Raid Group LUNs File System NFS Hosts Disk Drive Linux share

How to create Raid Group Click storage -> Storage Pool

How to create the raid group

How to create the LUNs Create LUNs from Storage Pool Create LUNs from Raid Group

Storage Pool/Raid Group CIFS Windows Share Array Storage Pool/Raid Group LUNs File System NFS Hosts Disk Drive Linux share

How to create the LUNs Click storage -> LUNs And select LUNs tab

The LUN list

Create LUNs from Storage Pool Storage Pool Type: Pool RAID Type: Mixed: Multi-tiered with mixed RAID types Storage Pool for new LUN: Pool 0 (which you created) User Capacity: 10 GB LUN ID: choose one Number of LUNS: 1 (how many LUNs you need) Select the Name radio button. In the Name field enter your LUN Name Starting ID: you need to choose one if you create more than 1 LUN a time

Select the advanced Tab Set Default Owner: Auto/SPA/SPB Initial Tier Placement: Default one

Create LUNs from Raid Group Storage Pool Type: RAID Group RAID Type: RAID5: Distributed Parity (High Throughput) Storage Pool for new LUN: 0 (which you created) User Capacity: 12 GB LUN ID: choose one Number of LUNS: 1 (how many LUNs you need) Select the Name radio button. In the Name field enter your RG5 LUN Name Starting ID: you need to choose one if you create more than 1 LUN a time

Select the advanced Tab Use SP Write Cache: checked FAST Cache: unchecked No Initial Verify: unchecked Set Default Owner: Auto/SPA/SPB

The two created LUNs

Create a file system Click storage -> File system And select file system tab

The file system list

Create a file system Create From: Storage Pool File System Name: File System Name Storage Pool: File Pool (created) Storage Capacity: 12 GB Auto Extend Enabled: unchecked Thin Enabled: unchecked Slice Volumes: checked File-level Retention: off Deduplication Enabled: unchecked Vmware VAAI nested clone support: unchecked Data Mover (R/W): Data Mover

Check the mounts tab

How to export a file system for NFS Click storage -> Shared Folders -> NFS

Storage Pool/Raid Group CIFS Windows Share Array Storage Pool/Raid Group LUNs File System NFS Hosts Disk Drive Linux share

Export NFS file system Choose Data Mover: Data Mover File System: name you created Path: /File System Root Hosts: Linux Host address

NFS exports list

Mount the file system Login to the Linux server as root Create a mount point on the Linux server cd / mkdir /fs1 NFS mount this directory to the exported file system on your Data Mover mount data_mover_ip:/File _system_name /mount_point mount 128.221.252.2:/EL_NFS1 /fs1

Mount the file system Verify the file system df –h cd /fs1 ls –al Note: By default a new directory is empty. Therefore, when you created your /fs1 directory on the client it was empty. However, after NFS mounting it to your Data Mover, /fs1 is now being redirected to a file system showing lost+found and .etc (hidden) directories. Note: By default a new directory is empty. Therefore, when you created your /fs1 directory on the client it was empty.

Before and after the file system mount

Mounted file system

CITI GROUP There is a NFS share on each control station Do not remove/move the files there

How to create a CIFS share Create a virtual data mover Create and mount a file system to a VDM Verify CIFS Service is Started on Data Movers Create a CIFS Interface on the Data Mover Create a CIFS Share at the top-level of a VNX file system Access your CIFS share

Storage Pool/Raid Group CIFS Windows Share Array Storage Pool/Raid Group LUNs File System NFS Hosts Disk Drive Linux share

Create a virtual data mover Click storage -> CIFS And select VDMs tab

Why will create virtual data mover? One data mover can be mounted to one CIFS server Create more than 1 CIFS server on one physical data mover Easy to manage

Create a virtual data mover Data Mover: choose one Name: vdm_cifs2 Create the configuration using: Default Storage Allocation

VDMs list

Create and mount a file system to a VDM Storage > Storage Configuration > File Systems And select file system tab

Create and mount a file system to a VDM Create From: Storage Pool File System Name: EL_CIFS2 Storage Pool: File Pool Storage Capacity: 25 GB Auto Extend Enabled: unchecked Thin Enabled: unchecked Slice Volumes: checked File-level Retention: Off Deduplication Enabled: unchecked VMware VAAI nested clone support: unchecked Data Mover (R/W): VDM Mount Point: Default

Verify CIFS Service is Started on Data Movers Storage -> Shared Folders -> CIFS Select the data movers. Verify that the option “CIFS Serice Started:” is checked.

Create a CIFS Interface on the Data Mover Click Setting -> Network -> Settings for File and select the Interfaces tab

Create a CIFS Interface on the Data Mover Data Mover: Select one Data Mover Device Name: Network Device Address: the IP of the interface Name: Enter your CIFS interface Netmask: 255.255.255.0 (auto complete) The Broadcast Address is calculated automatically Do not enter the MTU value Do not enter the VLAN ID value

Create a CIFS server Click storage -> Shared folders -> CIFS and select the CIFS server tab Create a CIFS server

Data Mover: Select your VDM Server Type: Active Directory Computer Name: Enter your CIFS Server Aliases: Leave blank NetBIOS Name: Leave blank Domain: hmarine.test Join the Domain: checked Domain Admin User Name: Administrator Domain Admin Password: emc2Admin! Organizational Unit: Leave at default value Enable local users: unchecked Interfaces: Checked for your Data Mover Address

Create a CIFS Share at the top-level of a VNX file system click Storage > Shared Folders > CIFS and select the Shares tab Create a CIFS share

Create a CIFS Share at the top-level of a VNX file system Choose a Data Mover: Select your VDM CIFS Share Name: TOP$ File System: Select your File System Path: Leave at the default NetBIOS Name: Leave blank CIFS Servers: Checked for your CIFS Server User limit: Leave blank Comment: Leave blank

Access your CIFS share Connect to your windows server Open command line and type \\<ip_of_VDM>\<share> \\10.32.106.178 \TOP$

Error!!! E000021: File system <fs_name> does not match pre-upgrade exported state after upgrade.
