Setting the IP address on RE ports on a VMAX require a BIN file change. Also when setting the IP address on the ports EMC will also fill out what is called the Remote Machines Table. This will list the remote frame Serial Number, the remote RE ports, and the IP address assigned to each remote RE port. Another thing that requires BIN file change is enabling hardware compression on the RE port (but you will still need to set hw/sw compression on each RDF group through the cli manually), in addition to setting a speed limit on the RE port if the WAN link is less than the cummulative bandwidth of the RE ports.
 All:  We are migrating from an old DMX to a new(er) VMAX.  We have RE (ethernet) ports in our old DMX (source), new VMAX (source) and DMX (target) Arrays.  They tell me that I have to change the IP addresses in my DMX target array REs from the old DMX source to the new VMAX source.  How do I do that?  How do I see what they say today, and how do I change them?  Can I do it with commands, or do I need an EMC bin file change, with attendant 10 day freeze, etc?  Do i have to specify the target IP address in my VMAX REs also?  It would seem like I do....  I'm going to start looking at EMC manuals....     Stuart
How do I check and set my SRDF RE Port IP addresses?
