UB3, UB5 & 5568 question.
I've just installed a new ECC V6.1 infra using the A02 images from Powerlink so i'm at UB3.
In my environment I have a 3 box replicated config with
BoxA DMX (5671) --Sync--> BoxB DMX(5671) ---Async--> BoxC 8830(5568)
I have an SDM/Symmetrix agent at both the end sites running SE 7.01 and UB3 agents.
If I add the BoxA to my SDM/Symm agent server it will import the BoxB and BoxC over the RDF links into ECC but as this agent is running SE7 how will ECC cope with it ?
I will be adding some SE 6.5.3 UB3 SDM/Symm agents to manage the 5568 boxes - should I avoid adding BoxA onto the SE7 box even though it's supported and just leave this one on SE 6.5.3 and UB3 to be on the safe side ?

Bottom line, SE and ControlCenter will not be able to manage any 5568 array which is being managed by a host running SE 7.0 and Symm/SDM Agent 6.1.0.5.100 (UB5). It might be best to leave Box A under the management of the SE 6.5.3/Symm/SDM UB3 agent for now (seeing as it indirectly manages Box C too).
I highly recommend that you look at Knowledgebase article emc216873 -"ControlCenter 6.1 UB5: Can I monitor Symmetrix arrays running Enquinity Microcode version 5568 and below with ControlCenter 6.1 Update Bundle 5?"

Did a search on that primus article but when I clicked on the link it failed.
Is it the same as the UB5 PDF document that has a flowchart in it , about 5 pages long ?
I decided over the weekend to leave that particular 5671 box on the 6.4.3 SE instance and will keep that on UB3 until we demise that array.
Cheers

I've emailed you the Knowledgebase article.
