Automating EMC Storage Functions

EMC has created PowerShell commands to automate storage functions such as..

• Create new storage volumes• Create and assign LUNs• Provide server access to LUNs• Create snapshots• Remove volumes, LUNs, snaps

Enabling simplified management:• Rapid deployment of large scale

storage and virtual machines• Automation of snapshots for VM

deployment• Ability for end users to request new

VM images while automating storage resources

Leveraging The Microsoft Tools You Know…


• Solution Components:• Fibre Channel (FC) SAN connectivity

between the hosts and the EMC storage for optimal performance.

• Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and virtual local area network (VLAN) connections for maximum performance and to eliminate network bottlenecks.

• All virtual machine files are stored on the EMC Unified storage array.

• Storage allocation for desktops is based on a 1+1 RAID 1 building block supporting up to 100 virtual desktops per building block.

• Target of large customer environments with maximum shared storage capacities of 120 disks and 64TB.
