RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking an EMC Storage - GDDR SRDF for a remote role.
Summary:
We are seeking senior-level Dell EMC Mainframe Enablers (MFE)/Geographically Dispersed Disaster Restart (GDDR) Engineer to provide specialized production support for a large, highly available mainframe storage environment.
This is not a general EMC storage administrator role. The successful candidate must have hands-on experience troubleshooting GDDR/MFE automation, SRDF replication and recovery issues in production, including situations where automation fails or stops mid-process and manual intervention is required.
The engineer will work alongside infrastructure and multivendor support teams during critical incidents to diagnose failures, determine appropriate recovery actions, restore replication safely and provide mainframe-specific guidance based on array-side conditions.
Production Support Responsibilities:
The engineer must be capable of independently troubleshooting situations including:
* GDDR or MFE automation failures
* Automation stopping during an active process
* SRDF/A or SRDF/S replication drops
* Scripts requiring backup, restart, bypass or manual completion
* Devices or consistency groups requiring cleanup or reconditioning
* Failed or interrupted replication recovery
* Host-side recovery resulting from array-side conditions
* Determining whether conditions are safe to restart/resume replication
* Sev 1 and Sev 2 production incidents requiring immediate technical escalation
During major incidents, the engineer will participate in live technical bridges with client, infrastructure and vendor support teams and provide clear recommendations for recovery.
Support & On-Call Expectations:
The engagement requires:
* Participation in a 24x7 on-call rotation for critical Sev 1/Sev 2 incidents
REQUIREMENTS:
Candidates must have strong hands-on production experience with:
* Dell EMC Mainframe Enablers (MFE)
* Dell EMC GDDR/GDR, preferably GDDR 6.x
* GDDR configuration, scripts, overrides and automation
* GDDR restart and recovery procedures
* Failure handling when GDDR automation stops or fails mid-process
* SRDF/S and SRDF/A
* AutoSwap and consistency-group operations
* zDP
* Symmetrix command-line tools
* Mainframe storage operations
* FICON and Fibre Channel concepts related to EMC mainframe replication
* Replication drops and failed automation
* Resynchronization and full-push scenarios
* Recovery following script interruption
* Device and consistency-group cleanup/reconditioning
* Coordination of array-side conditions with host-side recovery
* Determining when replication can safely be resumed
* Experience supporting MFE/GDDR environments involving VMAX 950F and/or PowerMax 8500 is strongly preferred
