VMAX 10K. Need help to configure single mode SRDF

Hi

It's surprising for me, but I'm not finding any information regarding this issue:

Environment: 2 Symm VMAX 10K ( 987 ) with latest code 5876.268.174

SRDF license loaded on both boxes.

Customer has a single mode link between both boxes.

Should configure under binfile, the SRDF with No Switched ( like we have in this customer for a DMX4 - VMAXSE ) in the Initialization tab

But when apply the change, it says, obviously, that need to configure remote dir and not leave FF ( under Edit Directors - RF tab ).

The problem appear when define it: It asks me for a RDFGroup, but VMAX 10K has no possibility to configure Static RDFGroups, so is impossible to have a valid binfile. And if configurure it as Switched, the SFP and the connection is not valid and the Director goes to DD, and only I'm able to iml if change the SFP to multimode.

Also, searching the database, I'm finding that 10 K is capable to use single mode SFP's, and is vailid to use them for SRDF

Searching in the knowledgebase was unable to find any light regarding this situation.

Obviously, could ask customer to change the RDF to switched, but want to use up all options before this.

Thanks in advance,

4 Operator

Hi Salvia,

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility.  Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and questions can go unanswered for a long time.

You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right.  Then search for and select: "Symmetrix Support Forum" which would be the most relevant for this question.
