SDm agent for remote DMX-4
We recently added a DMX-4 to a remote DR site. It is connected to a 48000 that is merged into our production fabric...We zoned it to ECC server so it was discovered in ECC and we can see information, It is not managed by a SDM agent so we cannot mask. we have two SDM agents..one one server I zoned that server to an FA on the DMX-4 but that DMX-4 doesn't appear under SDM agents even when they were stop/started..I red somewhere that you must have SDM on host attached to the SYM and not thru SRDF connection..we are using SRDF but the fabrics are merged so it would seem it shoudl appear as the other SYSM in our environment..how do we get thei SYM under an SDM agent since there are no hosts at the DR site at this time..

The SDM agent has to be installed on a host that is directly connected to a Symmetrix in order to monitor the VCMDB and do masking changes.

Yes, a SDM agent can manage multiple Symms. This is only if it has an in-band FC connection to the arrays and the VCMDB is presented to the agent host.
I have uploaded a White Paper: Using ControlCenter to manage Symmetrix Arrays in a Multi-hop Configuration to ftp://ftp.emc.com/outgoing/symmdoc
It's a pretty old doc from way back in CC 5.1.2 - however, the same principles should still apply in the latest CC versions.
Hope it helps.
