Unisphere for PowerMax and Solutions Enabler have different ways of managing user permissions. Unisphere has a more explicit authentication mechanism for users, where each user must have a username and password to log in to the Unisphere interface. Unisphere also supports role-based access control (RBAC), where each user can be assigned one or more roles that define their level of access to the storage system resources and operations. Unisphere maintains the user and role information in a symauth database, which can be shared with Solutions Enabler. Solutions Enabler, on the other hand, uses the operating system user credentials to authenticate users. Solutions Enabler does not require users to have a username and password to run commands, but it checks the symauth database to verify if the user has the appropriate role to perform the requested operation. Solutions Enabler also supports RBAC, where each user can be assigned up to four roles that define their level of access to the storage system resources and operations.

The correct sequence of steps to configure and bring up an SRDF/Star environment is as follows:

• Verify SRDF/Star control host connectivity and array settings. This step involves checking the network connectivity between the control host and the three arrays involved in the SRDF/Star configuration, as well as verifying the array settings such as RDF mode, RDF consistency, and RDF emulation. The control host is the host that runs the Solutions Enabler SYMCLI commands to manage the SRDF/Star configuration.The three arrays are the primary array, the secondary array, and the tertiary array.1
• Enable SRDF/Star configuration. This step involves enabling the SRDF/Star feature on the primary array using the symstar enable command. This command also creates a STAR control device group on the primary array, which contains a single device that acts as a control point for the SRDF/Star configuration.The STAR control device group must have a unique name and number across all arrays.1
• Add BCV devices to the SRDF/Star configuration. This step involves adding Business Continuance Volume (BCV) devices to the STAR control device group on the primary array using the symstar add bcv command. BCV devices are local copies of data that can be used for backup, restore, or testing purposes. BCV devices are required for SRDF/Star configurations to enable fast recovery in case of a disaster.The number of BCV devices must match the number of R1 devices in the SRDF/Star configuration.1
• Create an SRDF/Star composite group and options file. This step involves creating an SRDF/Star composite group on the control host using the symstar create command. An SRDF/Star composite group is a logical grouping of devices that span across three arrays and have different SRDF roles: R11, R21, and R22. An R11 device is an R1 device that is paired with another R1 device in a different SRDF group. An R21 device is an R2 device that is paired with another R1 device in a different SRDF group. An R22 device is an R2 device that is paired with another R2 device in a different SRDF group.The symstar create command also creates an options file that contains various parameters for the SRDF/Star configuration, such as RDF mode, RDF consistency, RDF emulation, and bias setting.1
• Perform the symstar setup operation and create composite groups on target sites. This step involves performing the symstar setup operation on the control host using the symstar setup command. This command establishes the SRDF/Star configuration by creating RDF pairs between devices in different arrays, creating RDF groups on each array, creating composite groups on each array, and synchronizing data across all devices.The symstar setup command also creates composite groups on the secondary and tertiary arrays using the same name and number as the composite group on the primary array.1

The data characteristics represent an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) workload profile. OLTP workloads typically consist of a high percentage of small, random I/O operations2. In this case, 80% of the I/O is generated with 8 KB random small blocks, which is characteristic of OLTP workloads2. References: Use DISKSPD to test workload storage performance - Azure Stack HCI | Microsoft Learn
