Ensure that you are familiar with the user interface applications that support the EMC VMAX systems.
A basic EMC VMAX configuration is done by an EMC Field Engineer (FE) by using the EMC VMAX service processor. After the initial configuration, you can configure and control the exported storage. The FE defines the storage device types and sets the configurable options.
You can configure and control the exported storage as described in the following sections.
You can use the EMC Control Center to manage and monitor the EMC VMAX systems.
You can use Volume Logix for volume configuration management. With Volume Logix, you can control access rights to the storage when multiple hosts share target ports.
The EMC Symmetrix Command Line Interface (SYMCLI) is used by the server to monitor and control the EMC VMAX.
