Worked as a Software Quality Engineer in VplexVe project of EMC.VPLEXve is a storage federation technology that aggregates and manages pools of iSCSI storage within and across data centers. VPLEX storage aggregation allows online storage migrations and without any changes to host LUNs. VPLEX AccessAnywhere clustering technology allows read/write access to distributed volumes across distance where the volumes have the exact same SCSI LUN identity.

VPLEX storage aggregation allows online storage migrations and without any changes to host LUNs. VPLEX AccessAnywhere clustering technology allows read/write access to distributed volumes across distance where the volumes have the exact same SCSI LUN identity. The VPLEXve product line includes VPLEXve Local (single site SAN federation), VPLEXve Metro supporting synchronous distributed volumes and round-trip latency up to 5ms, and VPLEXve Geo supporting asynchronous distributed volumes with round-trip time up to 50msHere, majorly I worked as a core member of System Test team.With roles and responsibilities of test case designing, building up setups, test case execution, defect tracking etc.Doing end to end deployment and configuration of VplexVe setup.Writing and executing system and integration test cases for Non Disruptive Upgrades(NDU), Switch or communication failure scenarios, Cluster/Site failure and recovery scenarios.Creating Storage Pools, RAID devices etc and simulating latency for I/Os running at hosts at front end coming from LUNs exposed from arrays at backend targeting Data Unavailability(DU) or Data Loss(DL) on Vplex Cluster.Deploying OVF teamplates, creating vDirector VMs, creating VMkernel Adpters, Distributed switches, creating uplink ports, VM cloning, migration, setting HA, DRS rules using vSphere client or VMware's webclient. Served as a Lead Software Quality Engineer for Quorum disk based Director Witness and Cluster Witness feature of VplexVE product that involves tasks of bringing up the test bed setup, estimating test efforts, test case writing, reviewing, execution and generating test reports.
