One more BCV question

Hi all.

Recently I had asked about adding multiple BCVs to a standard, and adding them across different device groups.

The repsonses helped and it went smoothly.

Now though, I have created another device group, added a standard device, associated a BCV to the group, and am getting the following error when I try and run a symmir -g host_group -full -establish exact

Any ideas?

A configuration mismatch was detected among members of your META devices.

Partial output of symdg show...
Standard (STD) Devices (1):
{
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Sym Cap
LdevName PdevName Dev Att. Sts (MB)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
pam3001 N/A 033A (M) RW 94947
}

BCV Devices Locally-associated (1):
{
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Sym Cap
LdevName PdevName Dev Att. Sts (MB)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BCV001 N/A 0531 (M) RW 94947
}

    Doh!. Thats it, one was striped and one was just a concatenated Meta.

    Thanks,

    are the STD and BCV identical meta configuration (striped/concatenated) ?

    1) run a symcfg discover .. (never hurts)
    2) run symdev -sid xxx show 033A
    3) run symdev -sid xxx show 0531

    we are interested in looking at the configuration (striped/concatenated) and to the number (and size) of members.

    ((whooops .. too late!!))

    It looks like the meta devices are not the same configuration.This is not acceptable to TimeFinder.

    Choose another meta BCV which is the same configuration as the std volume. Use 'symdev list -meta' command to show you all striped and concatenated meta devices currently configured in your Symmetrix.

    you can further checked your meta devices layout using the commands as mentioned by Stefanao .

    Cheers !!
