If you want remove one device a) First we need to check that device is belongs to which storage group Symaccess -sid xxx show dev 002 -type storage b) Now we need to remove that device from that storage group Symaccess -sid xxx -name PHANI_SG -type storage remove dev 002 -unmap

BROCADE Zoning
1. Before doing zoning we have to take backup configupload 2. we have to check either devices are connected to fabric or not ----- flogi switchshow 3. To find the principal switch Fabricshow 4. We need create alias Alicreate aliasname1, alias_member Alicreate aliasname2, alias_member 5. We need to create zone Zonecreate zonename (aliasname1_aliasname2), aliasname1;aliasname2 6. Find the active configuration Cfgactvshow 7. Add the zone to configuration Cfgadd activeconfigurationname, zonename 8. We need to save the configuration Cfgsave 9. We need to enable the configuration Cfgenable activeconfigurationname

CISCO Zoning
1. First we need to take a back up Copy running-config ftp: <system IP address> 2. We need to check zone is enhanced mode or basic mode Sh zone status 3. We need to check hosts are logged into fabric or not Sh flogi database 4. We need to find which is the principal switch Sh fcdomain domain-list vsan 5. We need to find the IP address of switch Sh fcs ie vsan 6. Now we need to enter into configuration mode Conf t 7. To find what are the interfaces are there Sh int br 8. For entering in that interface Int fc slot/port 9. We need to do port naming Switchport description host_hba0 10. Now we need to set the switch speed Switchport speed 2 11.

CLARiiON Provisioning
1. Log into Navisphere manager 2. Right click on clariion array and go to connectivity status Check whether the host wwpn is logged into array or not if it is registered nothing will do If it is not registered then we can register manually 3. Right click on clariion then go to create raid group then bind the luns 4. Right click on clariion and create storage group 5. Right click on storage group and select connect host option and add host 6. Right click on storage group and select select luns option and add luns into storage group
