the catch here is only clariion gurinche adagaledu....general ga oka app ki storage isthunnamu ante e storage ani ela decide avuthamu anedi question

1) first of all physical connectivity check undo ledo confirm chesukovali and make sure the server is powered on and cabled properly.
[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] You should boot into your HBA BIOS (not the server BIOS.) With a Q-Logic Adapter, you normally press CTRL-Q when prompted at boot. This is going to provide the WWN / WWPN information to the Brocade switch, which will help us manually assign storage to our server in Unisphere without the EMC Host Agent.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]2) zoning[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]3) Launch unisphere ([/size][/font][/color]login to EMC Unisphere with any PC connected to the same network as your storage processors. You can either load the EMC Unisphere Server onto this PC and connect to the storage processor IP address, or you can connect directly to service processor A (SPA) or SPB with your web browser and Unisphere / Navisphere will download automatically)
4) [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]When you are presented with the EMC Unisphere Dashboard, select the storage system you would like to manage by clicking its hyperlink. [/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Then select the storage tab[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]5) Storage pools already untayi...lekapothe create chesuko....then create luns[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]6) Create storage group and add the luns to the storage group[/size][/font][/color]

[size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]yes, u r right, luns ownership change ayye danini trespassing antamu....prathi lun ki oka default owner (SPA or SPB) unthundi...[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]ownership lo 2 types 1)default 2) current[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]if the current owner is not same as default owner we call it as trespassing.[/font][/size]

[color=#494848][font=Verdana, Arial][size=3][background=rgb(254, 254, 254)][size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The question at this point is, why would a LUN enter a trespass state? There is a list of reasons why this may happen, [/font][/size][/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#494848][font=Verdana, Arial][size=3][background=rgb(254, 254, 254)][size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Trespasses can happen manually, by the array. From a manual perspective, at any point you can force a trespass (move to opposite SP) from the GUI/CLI of the storage array. What’s important to get here is that even if I manually make trespassing decisions they can be overridden by the array or the hypervisor right away. So from a manual perspective, I force trespasses from the GUI/CLI. I may decide to do this to untrespass a LUN, or if I know I will be removing paths and want to force IO down a certain SP. On the more automatic side, a LUN can be trespassed by an SP for many conditions. An NDU “non-disruptive upgrade” to an array will cause LUNs to be trespassed from one SP to the other to ensure data access LUN access during the whole upgrade. After the upgrade, the LUNs may exist solely on one SP and those LUNs with current owner not equal to default owner are considered trespassed. There are many other reasons from an array perspective. .[/font][/size][/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#494848][background=rgb(254, 254, 254)][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]simple ga cheppali ante, if a SP is not reachable or rebooting, LUNS ownership change avuthundi to ensure lun access[/font][/background][/color]

@ 30 years industry and sachin 16 ,
Naku oka basic question-- Ippudu oka EMC- SAN ki market lo primary competitors evaru , evari market shares enta unnayi
generally Storage environment mixed environment untunda like SAN & NAS , if that's the case do corporates expect storage engineer to be proficient in both SAN & NAS technologies (in most cases) I know some companies can budget specialists for SAN & NAS but generally speaking what is the case..

@ 30 years industry inka competency based questions elanti adugutaru interviews lo in general ?

btw I am starting my course on this wednesday so hopefully I should be able to add some value to this thread
cheers guys

oka post lo inni questions aa? lolz.....let me try

share value ki vasthe surprisingly, EMC (around 26) kanna NetApp share value ekkuva (around 34)

environment ayithe mostly mixed untayi...SAN n NAS rendu vasthe better...it all depends on requirement....konni environments lo mostly SAN unthundi, konnintlo mostly NAS....konni mixed untayi....kani mixed e ekkuva ga untayi.....

interview questions ki vasthe.....it depends evaru interview chesthunnaru ani....okavela desi gadu chesthe samandam lenivi kuda aduguthadu usually....americans ayithe ne exp. meeda ekkuva questions adugutharu....nuvvu honest ga unte impress avutharu....vasthe vachani rakapothe radu ani cheppadam better americans deggara...desi gallaki detail ga explain cheyadaniki chudu....in that way, vadu ekkuva questions adige time undadu....

or do the arrays comes by default with pre-configured raid level?
