 INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROCEDURE:
®
The Symmetrix Procedure Generator you just ran allows you to create this customized
document specifically tailored for your site needs. It steps you through the completion of a
specific Symmetrix array management activity or host setup task that can be completed without
the involvement of Remote Technical Support. Host implementation cost is not covered under
Warranty or Maintenance. All of the generated procedures assume that you check the
Symmetrix Procedure Generator release notes to insure your selected storage management
software (SYMCLI, SMC, or EMCSCF) is up-to-date and is installed on your host as the prime
storage management tool. Since the procedure content base on Powerlink is continually being
updated and refined, it is recommended to rerun the procedure generator for your selected
procedure every 30 days to ensure currency and release control of your printed copy. If you have
any concerns, questions, or need assistance with an implementation, regarding your
environment or this procedure, contact your local sales representative.

As part of the effort to continuously improve and enhance the performance and capabilities of the
Symmetrix product line, EMC periodically releases new versions of its hardware and software, or
qualifies various operating systems interoperability with Symmetrix functionality. Therefore, some
functions described in this procedure may not be supported by all revisions of the software or
hardware you have currently in use, including your host operating system. For the most up-to-
date information on specific requirements, concerning your host environment status and storage
system, refer to the E-Lab Interoperability Navigator on Powerlink.
