a.
If both arrays are running HYPERMAX OS, up to 250 RDF groups can be defined across all of the ports on a specific RDF
director, or up to 250 RDF groups can be defined on 1 port on a specific RDF director.
b.
A port on the array running HYPERMAX OS connected to an array running Enginuity 5876 supports a maximum of 64 RDF
groups. The director on the HYPERMAX OS side associated with that port supports a maximum of 186 (250 – 64) RDF groups.
c.
If both arrays are running HYPERMAX OS, up to 250 RDF groups can be defined across all of the ports on a specific RDF
director, or up to 250 RDF groups can be defined on 1 port on a specific RDF director.
d.
A port on the array running HYPERMAX OS connected to an array running Enginuity 5876 supports a maximum of 64 RDF
groups. The director on the HYPERMAX OS side associated with that port supports a maximum of 186 (250 – 64) RDF groups.
e.
If hardware compression is enabled, the maximum number of ports per director is 12
HYPERMAX OS and Enginuity compatibility
Arrays running HYPERMAX OS cannot create a device that is exactly the same size as
a device with an odd number of cylinders on an array running Enginuity 5876. In order
to support the full suite of features:
l
SRDF requires that R1 and R2 devices in a device pair be the same size.
l
TimeFinder requires that source and target devices are the same size.
Track size for FBA devices increased from 64Kb in Enginuity 5876 to 128Kb in
HYPERMAX OS.
HYPERMAX OS introduces a new device attribute, Geometry Compatible Mode
(GCM). A device with GCM set is treated as half a cylinder smaller than its true
configured size, enabling full functionality between HYPERMAX OS and Enginuity
5876 for SRDF, TimeFinder SnapVX, and TimeFinder emulations (TimeFinder/Clone,
TimeFinder VP Snap, TimeFinder/Mirror), and ORS.
The GCM attribute can be set in the following ways:
Do not set GCM on devices that are mounted and under Local Volume Manager (LVM)
control.
