The CLPR license is bundled with the base license. You can create up to 32 CLPRs
without purchasing any additional license
It is recommended to use a dedicated CLPR for every external array that will be
virtualized with P9500/VSP
2.
Identify the CHA ports on the P9500 that will be used as external ports. You
will need a minimum of two front end ports, one from each cluster. In this example, I
use 5E (fabric A) and 6E (fabric B)
3.
You may connect the P9500 ports directly to the DMX FA ports or using fabric
switches. This example assumes that a fabric switch is being used. Set the external
port properties as below.
Port Mode : External
Speed : 8Gbps (assuming your fabric switch supports this, if not set to match the
switch port speed)
4.
Ensure that the P9500/VSP external ports are connected to the same fabric
where the EMC FAs are connected. In this example I am using FA ports 7A0, 7A1
connected fabric A and 10A0, 10A1 connected fabric B
5.
P9500_5E to DMX_7A0
P9500_5E to DMX_7A1
Fabric B
P9500_6E to DMX_10A0
P9500_6E to DMX_10A1
6.
Register the WWPNS of the P9500/VSP ports 5E and 6E on the corresponding
DMX FA ports. Set the below port attributes for P9500 WWPNs on the DMX
Parameter
Parameter setting
SC3 flag
Enable
SPC2 flag
Disable
7.
8.
Assign the test LUNs to P9500 WWPNs on FA ports 7A0,7A1 and 10A1 and
10B1
9.
On the P9500, In Remote Web Console, select Add External Volumes from the
General Tasks menu and display the Add External Volumes window.
10. To create a new path group and add external volumes, select By New
External Path Group and click Create External Path Group, and then create a path
group.
11. To add external volumes to the existing external path group, select By Existing
External PathGroup, and select the desired path group from the Available External
Path Groups list. Click Next.
12. Select external volumes from the Discovered External Volumes list and enter
the external volume group number and their sequential number in the Initial Parity
Group ID box, and then click Add. Select whether to create LDEVs in the external
volume in Allow Simultaneous Creation of LDEVs. If you want to take over the data
of the external volume when you create LDEVs, select Yes in External Storage
System Configuration, and then enter an LDEV name in the LDEV Namenbox. If you
do not want to take over the data, select No in Use External Storage
SystemnConfiguration, and then enter an LDEV name in the LDEV Name box.You
can also set the attribute of the external volume by clicking Options.
Select the following options
CLPR : 1
Path mode : Emulation :Open V
Cache mode :
Inflow control :
Select the CU where the external LUN will be place and the LDEV number.
Click Finish to display the Confirm window.
13. Procees with LUN mapping to the front end CHA port as required.
