1 From the Dashboard of the EMC Unisphere System.

Choose Create a LUN or LUN group option

2 This opens the LUN Group or LUN Wizard.

The difference between a LUN Group and a LUN is that a LUN Group maintains a

consistent state across all of the LUNs in the group. For example if you applied a

SnapShot to a LUN Group, all of the LUNs in that group will be snapped at the same

point in time. For this exercise we will create a LUN Group.

Select Create a LUN group

Enter a Group Name for the LUN Group and set a Description.

Select Next



3 Now configure the LUNs in the LUN Group

We will create 10 total LUNs in this group with 2 different size configurations.

For the first set of LUNs, set the LUN Size to 100 GB

Set this as a Thin device.

Set the Add field for 5 LUNs and select Add

You should see 5 LUNs added to the pool configured as you set them.

4 Now add the second set of LUNs to the Group

For the first set of LUNs, set the LUN Size to 10 GB

Set this as a Thin device.

Set the Add field for 5 LUNs and select Add

You should see additional 5 LUNs added to the pool configured as you set them.

Click the Next button after verifying the configuration of the LUNs.



5 In this step you have the opportunity to set protection for the LUN Group. You will add

protection in a later lab so select Do not configure a snapshot schedule.

After choosing the Snapshot schedule, select the Next button.

6 Next, configure the host connectivity. You saw earlier that there are several Hosts

connected to this array using multiple protocols.

Filter for Protocols and select FC

You should only see the 10.244.214.222 host in the list.

You have four choices in Access.

• No Access – The host is denied all access to the LUN Group

• LUN – The host is granted access to the LUN Group

• Snapshot – The host is granted access to the Snapshot

• LUN and Snapshot – The host is granted access to LUN Group and the Snapshot

Select LUN and then select the Next button.



7 Now you will verify the configuration order for this LUN Group.

The settings you have elected will be shown in the Summary screen.

Once you are sure the order is correct, select the Finish button.

8 The job will now be performed and all devices created. This may take a few minutes

depending on the number of LUNs and Snapshots you selected.

Once the job is complete, select the Close button to continue.



9 Now that the LUN Group has been created, look at the storage configuration.

Select Storage > LUNs to open the LUN view

Expand the LUN Group you just created.

Verify the configuration of the LUN Group matches the previous steps.

10 Select the LUN Group and select the Details button.

You can see the Capacity, Host Access, and other information about the LUN Group from

this window.

You also can view the new LUN Group from the Host perspective by selecting Hosts >

Hosts > 10.244.214.222 to see the individual LUNs along with their SCSI LUN ID. It is

possible to change the LUN ID from this window if the system or an application has a

specific requirement.

11 Your Block Device LUN Group is successfully created.

2 You will configure a file system for a Windows host.

Choose the type of file-level protocol for your common share. Possible options provided

by the VNXe system are:

• CIFS used mostly for Windows OS systems in order to organize the file-based

access

• NFS used mostly for Unix-like systems in order to organize the file-based access

Select the Windows shares (CIFS) option.

Select the Next button.



3 In this example the name of the folder is set as the FileSystem02.

Enter a description of the share to help identify it later.

Select the Next button to continue.

4 Select a suitable Storage Pool for your file system.

Set the Tiering Policy, size, and type of the share.

Select Start High for the Tiering Policy

Select 100 GB and Thin for the share.

Select the Next button after setting the parameters.



5 Configure the share to be created and specify its Name and Description. The share will

serve as an interface of accessing the shared folder by different hosts.

Select the Next button to continue.

6 In this step you will have to configure the Snapshot protection that you would like to

apply to your share.

Select the option Select a snapshot schedule and leave the Default Protection in place.

After choosing the Snapshot setting, select the Next button.



7 Verify the job from the Summary screen

Once you are satisfied with the configuration, select the Finish button to start the job.

8 The job will now be performed and all devices created. This may take a few minutes

depending on the number of LUNs and Snapshots you selected.

Once complete, select the Close button.

1 You can validate and change configuration of the PowerPath multi-path software

by using the command line. In this lab you will use the EMC PowerPath

command output in a log format on page 39.

Use this logged information to determine the multipath configuration and status

for this host.

2 Review the powermt display command output. These commands are

captured from a Windows host with EMC PowerPath installed

3 Reviewing the initial status, which initiators are managed by PowerPath?

1 You will now apply protection to a LUN Group.

Open the Dashboard of the EMC Unisphere System.

Choose Settings > Snapshot Schedules option

.

2 Select LUNGroup-FC.

Select Details to open the configuration information on this LUN.

Select the Snapshots tab.

There should be no protection assigned to this LUN currently.

Select Modify Protection.



3 In the Modify Protection Schedule Wizard you can assign, modify or create a Snapshot

schedule for data protection.

Since there is no protection in place for this LUN, select Protect data using a snapshot

schedule.

4 In this lab you will create a new Snapshot schedule.

Select Customize Schedule

You will receive a warning pop-up that allows you to modify the selected schedule or

create a new schedule.

Select Create to begin the schedule creation process.



5 You can create a very detailed protection schema spanning hours, days or longer

periods of time. You can also auto-delete old snapshots to conserve disk space.

In this lab we accept the existing rule but want to add another Snapshot for long-term

protection.



6 Create the new rule. In the wizard window select the following options:

• Type of Rule – On Selected Days

• Frequency – Saturday

• Time – 01:00

• Auto-Delete Policy – Expiration value

Keep for – 7 Days

• Access Type – Hidden

When the rule is set, select Add Rule to continue.



7 The new rule you created should now appear in the Modify Protection Schedule wizard.

Select Next.

8 Verify the changes to protection in the Summary.

When satisfied with the changes select Finish to start the job.



9 As with all other jobs in Unisphere, you can watch the progress in the Results window or

in the Jobs window. Once the changes are made you will be notified.

10 Another way to verify that protection is enabled for this LUN is to go to

Storage > LUNs > LUNGroup-FC (or the name of the LUN you are checking).

You should see the rules you made in the Protection Schedule.
