Question on EMC
Dear All,
I need you help and advice on one matter. My storage (DMX) in the company is managed by EMC. They have access through dial-in modem connection to Service processors connected to Storage Arrays. Such connection should be used for storage arrays configuration management. Is there any way that the EMC will have access to the data? Appreaciate your help. Best Regards, Xewals |

The only way they would be able to make sense of data is if the had access to luns. If the Service Processors do not have lun's presented to them then you're ok. I know HDS has a similar capability and they do not have access to data unless lun's are presented. ~F |

The SP does not have any access to the LUNs, and if it did, it wouldn't know the volume layout and file system. There is a way to enable fiber channel logging so that the packet payload would be accessible (like protocol analysis). |

No way of accessing the data from the SP, to access the disks you would need a host connected the the array with a HBA that has the LUNs masked and mapped to it. The host would also have to know which FS the data is contained in on the LUN. All the SP can access is the array configuration (Bin file) which controls where devices are presented (to which FAs) |
