EMC Clarion CX-3 : How to provision storage ?

Hello Experts,

I have to do 2 tasks on 2 EMC Storage (EMC CX-3), but I am a beginner, so I need your help.

The two task : 1- Unconfigure a replication with mirrorview
2- create volumes and allocate them to differents servers.

The zoning on the san switch are already configured, and all the hosts have been added to the CX-3 Storage.

I am lost when I use Navisphere, can you please tell me what to do? (step by step)

I am not sure about the order : -raid group, storage group..creation...
what is the meaning of "binding luns"??

Wow! You are definately an EMC expert!!! Thanx a lot!!

Regarding Mirrorview, the customer told me to delete the entire configuration (replications. ..), so that I can use the Clarion only to provision storage for servers.

I am not sure how to delete mirroview configuration....

The screenshot you posted shows that you don't have any MirrorView sessions open (there is no '+' by Remote Mirrors in the Navisphere tree.

Click on Remote Mirrors and see if any are displayed. You can also right-click on the array name (cx4-Bott-92) and you should see MirrorView... in the drop-down menu.

The screenshot is not for the system on which I am supposed to work.

I'm supposed to do a job for a client who is in another city. I have to provision storage for him and unconfigure MirrorView , so I'm trying to get ready, because I have never work on an EMC Clarion before.

I took the screenshot from the Navisphere simulator (Powerlink website)
