Scenario

Rule example

You want to assign LUNs from a specific array vendor.

To assign EMC arrays, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] = 'EMC'

You want to assign LUNs from multiple array vendors.

To assign EMC, Hitachi, and HDS storage arrays, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] in ('EMC', 'Hitachi', 'HDS')

You want to assign LUNs from an array vendor whose name may vary.

To assign storage arrays that match the vendor names EMC, EMC Corp, and EMC Corporation, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] LIKE 'EMC%'

You want to assign LUNs from an array vendor whose name may vary between upper and lowercase.

To assign storage arrays that match the vendor name Hitachi or hitachi, use the following rule:

lower([Array]).[Vendor]) = 'hitachi'

You want to assign LUNs from an array vendor and array model.

To assign CX300, CX400, and CX500 EMC storage arrays, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] = 'EMC'

AND [Array].[Model] LIKE 'CX%'

You want to assign LUNs from an array vendor and array model with specific firmware versions.

To assign CX300, CX400, and CX500 EMC storage arrays with specific firmware versions, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] = 'EMC'

AND [Array].[Model] LIKE 'CX%'

AND [Array].[Firmware Version] IN ('2.19.400.5.007', '2.16.500.5.010')

You want to assign virtualized arrays.

To assign virtualized Hitachi storage arrays, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] = 'HITACHI'

AND [Array].[Is Virtualizer] = 'T'

You want to assign LUNs from an array vendor with a specific RAID level.

To assign RAID1 Hitachi storage arrays, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] = 'HITACHI'

AND [LUN].[RAID Level] = 'RAID1'

You want to assign LUNs from an array vendor with multiple RAID levels.

To assign RAID5 and RAID10 EMC storage arrays, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] = 'EMC'

AND [LUN].[RAID Level] IN ('RAID5', 'RAID10')

You want to assign LUNs from an array vendor that are not control devices.

To assign EMC storage arrays that are not control devices, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] = 'EMC'

AND [LUN].[Is Control Device] = 'F'

You want to assign LUNs that are not from a specific array vendor, have a resource type of data, and have mirror copies.

To assign non-Hitachi and non- IBM storage arrays that have a resource type of data and have two or more mirror copies, use the following rule:

[Array].[Vendor] NOT IN ('HITACHI', 'IBM')

AND [LUN].[Resource Type] = 'Data'

AND [LUN].[Number of Copies] > 2
