EMC CLARiiON CX Series Arrays (CLI)

Foglight for Storage Management uses the NaviSecCLI utility on the EMC Management Host to collect data from EMC CLARiiON CX Series arrays. When accessing specific CLARiiON arrays, Foglight for Storage Management uses the Navisphere management application (via the NaviSecCLI) for collection. Foglight for Storage Management requires an EMC Management Host user account to access Navisphere, as well as a Navisphere account to access the individual arrays.

 
* 
NOTE: NaviSecCLI is not supported for monitoring EMC VNX or VMAX arrays. However, you can monitor these arrays using the SMI-S interface. For instructions, see EMC CLARiiON, VNX, or VMAX Storage Arrays (SMI-S).

Requirements for EMC CLARiiON CX Series Arrays (CLI)

Your environment must meet the following requirements:

•
NaviSphere is running on a different server than the Foglight Agent Manager. This server is referred to as the EMC Management host.
•
For supported NaviSphere CLI version, see Collection Target Support Matrix.
•
Statistics logging is enabled on each array. See Verifying Statistics Logging is Enabled on EMC Arrays.
•
Foglight for Storage Management requires the following accounts:
•
An EMC Management Host user account to access the NaviSphere NaviSecCLI utility, with the following access privileges:
- On UNIX systems, SSH services with read and execute access to the binaries (sudo if the administrator changed the access privileges).
- On Windows systems, read and execute access to the executables. In addition, the following shares and services are required to access Navisphere:
     - ADMIN$, IPC$ as Shares
     - RPC service enabled
•
A Navisphere account with the Global privilege. This account is used by the NaviSecCLI commands to access the individual arrays. The Global privilege provides access to all CLARiiON arrays in the Navisphere domain, requiring the user to provide the IP for only a single Service Processer (SP) of an array in the domain.

Configuring Agents to Monitor EMC CLARiiON CX Series Arrays (CLI)

During this procedure, you configure the agent to use the CLI to collect from the array management host. For details, see Configuring Agents to Monitor Storage Devices.

EMC CLARiiON, VNX, or VMAX Storage Arrays (SMI-S)

To collect from EMC CLARiiON and VNX arrays, Foglight for Storage Management uses the EMC SMI-S Provider installed on a host machine. For EMC VMAX arrays, Foglight for Storage Management uses the EMC SMI-S Provider installed on EMC Solutions Enabler. The SMI-S Provider can be downloaded from the EMC Support page at https://support.emc.com/downloads.
