Is Clariion support part of the EMC Control Center base lincensing?
Or do you have to purchase Clariion support seperately?

I had to call and get the clariion agent key. 1800SVC4EMC and select the software licensing option. They did ask me if I had a a Navi Manager license. If anbody from EMC lurks on this newsgroup, What functionality you get with particular keys is confusing. e.g. you can add the netbackup agent, but all you get is a bunch of junk filling up the logs. You need the ARM license to get any real info out of the agent. Greg G |

you will have to install the Navisphere agent on the ECC server which
runs the clariion agent. Then you need to discover the arrays on the SAN by using their SP IP addresses. nick "Greg Guenther" wrote in message link.net... "Boll Weevil" wrote in message ...

I put a master agent on one of the servers attached to the clariion array that already had the Navi Agent installed. I then pushed the ECC clariion agent to that server. Even with the ECC clariion agent installed, you still do not get to use the Explorer tool or get to do lun masking until you apply the clariion license key. Do you think they can make this thing anymore convoluted and bloated????!!! Don't give them any ideas. Actually, 5.11 is much improved over 5.0X. Did you go with ECC or are you still evaluating ? |

Greg, Yea... I think you're right. 5.0x took over ten CDs and 5.1.1 took only three. My mistake was that I accidently cancelled the install in the middle of it. Whoaaaaaaaa.... what a mistake. Uninstall is not an option!!! I had to manually scrub the registery.. took about an hour. Let me express my hatred for this product but it seems as though its complexity does well for people like you and me. It's providing us with a very comfortable living. I am diggin deep into this product to get better at it. Maybe it will recieve my respect but not now, not yet. I may have some questions for ya later if you don't mind. |

I would have to agree. I barely use the product, it does have some
nice features, but I quickly tire of using the console. Also, I have found it to be inconsistent when alerting and doing management of the SAN, and bloated is an understatment -- God forbid you have to do an upgrade or reinstall. Some joker at EMC thought that it would better to package the install in perl scripts and then hack some poor excuse for a GUI around it instead of using something clean like WISE or InstallShield. I did an upgrade from 4.3 to 5.0 and ultimately 5.1 this year, and I have become painfully familiar with all the registry keys and directory structures it creates but doesn't clean up when you uninstall the thing. BTW I find the Navisphere interface to be a wee bit friendlier when doing Clariion management, but, maybe because I'm just an old fart, I prefer command line (navicli) out of the three methods. When it comes to Clariion management I would rank ECC 5.0 / 5.1 a VERY distant third for managing the arrays. nick Boll Weevil wrote in message . ..
