Unisphere for VMAX - local AND remote
Is it possible to point Unisphere for VMAX at two different SYMAPI instances, one local and one remote?
We have a situation where there is a VMAX at two different data centers, but we would like to manage them with a single Unisphere instance. So the idea would be a SYMAPI server at both locations, but only one Unisphere install.
Currently we can view local or remote, but not both at the same time via Unisphere.
No Events found!

Hi raid-zero,
Welcome to EMC Community
If the local SYMAPI DB does not list the other array as remote (if SRDF is not implmented between the 2 arrays) then only the local array will be visible in Unisphere, You cannot have UNIVMAX manages 2 seperates arrays via 2 seperate SYMAPI DBs. Only one SYMAPI DB is used either local or remote.
So the answer to your question, You need 2 seperate instances of unisphere.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately no SRDF in this case so looks like we will pursue the two instance solution.
