We have recently purchased an EMC Symmetrix ( personal preference would have

been XP256 but I digress... :o) )   and I need to convert our data to the
EMC disk drives. My question is this... can the O/S (ldev 1) be transferred
to the EMC? We are using the system volume set so I don't have user volumes
to deal with. Since we are using the system volume set logic tells me that
the O/S would have to reside on the Sym(metrix). Should I keep ldev 1 or
can it be removed from the system? I have 3 drives in the cabinet now (ldevs

1, 2 and 3) and I cannot think of any reason to either keep or dispose of
them. TIA

Well we have been running our main production system totally on an EMC
Symmetrix for well over a year.  You really should use user volumes.  Saves
lots of headaches.
