you have options:  1) you can have EMC configure and enable SMC on the service processor. Service process will need to be assigned an ip address on your network so you can connect to it via http. 2) you can have SMC installed on one of your physical systems/VMs. I prefer option two because if you later one decided to install SPA to monitor performance or want to create device groups or anything else like that , you won't be able to do it on service processor.  so what you first need to do is to zone a physical host to an FA on VMAX. Install Solutions Enabler on this host and mask at least 6 gatekeeprs to your ESX servers. Then on ESX server you will need to present these gatekeepers to your VM running SMC. Make sure gatekeepers are presented as RDM physical compatability mode. Once you have SMC going on the VM you can take physical server out of the picture.
I want to know what are the steps to be followed to setup the VMAX-SE once the EMC team powerup and load the bin. How do I set up the management host (win2k3 VM guest) with SE/SMC installed and properly discover the VMAX and use it for day to day operations ?, questions like how do i give 6 GKs even before SE/SMC environment is setup ?, what actual the steps are followed to do the initial set up of VMAX ?/
Initial Setup of VMAX, once EMC has done the bin load ?
