The following Ten Rules provided by Brocade for zoning:Rule 1: Type of Zoning (Hard, Soft, Hardware Enforced, Soft Porting) – If security is apriority, then a Hard Zone-based architecture coupled with Hardware Enforcement isrecommendedRule 2: Use of Aliases – Aliases are optional with zoning. Using aliases should force somestructure when defining your zones. Aliases will also aid future administrators of the zonedfabric.

What is “Tier 0” in Storage Environments?
Tier "0" is not new in storage market but for implementation purposes it has been difficult to accommodate because it requires best performance and lowest latency. Enterprise Flash disks (Solid State Disks) capable to meet this requirement. It is possible to get more performance for company most critical applications. The performance can be gained through using Flash drives supported in VMAX and DMX-4 systems. Read More →
An LSAN is a Logical Storage Area Network that spans multiple Physical fabrics and allows specified devices from these autonomous fabrics to communicate with each other without merging the physical fabrics. In other word, A logical network that spans multiple physical fabrics. It allows specified devices from the autonomous fabric to communicate with each other using a FC router without merging the physical fabrics.- A LSAN zone is a traditional zone with a special naming convention.- Zone names must start...
PowerPath Migration Enabler is a host-based software product that enables other technologies, such as array-based replication and virtualization, to eliminate -application downtime during data migrations or virtualization implementations. PowerPath Migration Enabler allows EMC Open Replicator for Symmetrix and EMC Invista customers to eliminate downtime during data migrations from EMC storage to Symmetrix, and during virtualized deployments to Invista.. PowerPath Migration Enabler—which leverages the same underlying technology...
Conceptually, even operationally, SRDF is very similar to Timefinder. About the only difference is that SRDF works across Symms; while Timefinder works internally to one Symm.That difference, intersymm vs intrasym, means that SRDF operations can cover quite a bit of ground geographically. With the advent of geographically separated symms, the integrity of the data from one symm to the other becomes a concern. EMC has a number of operational modes in which the SRDF operates. The choice between these operational modes is a balancing...
