QuestionQ13

PowerMax and VMAX All Flash Features

What must be true before a port can be disassociated from an FA emulation on a PowerMax?

  • A The port must not be a member of any Port Group
  • B The port must not belong to an RDF group
  • C All ports on the I/O module must be offline
  • D All ports associated with the FA emulation must be offline
Explanation

On a PowerMax, disassociating a port from a front-end (FA) emulation changes the emulation's port-mapping configuration, and because this is an emulation-level operation, Dell requires that every port currently associated with that FA emulation be taken offline before any port can be disassociated from it, rather than requiring only the target port or every port on the physical I/O module to be offline.
