2. On the VNX server, in EMC Unisphere, configure a Read-Only User with an Operator Role.
3. On the VNX server, start the XML API Server (/nas/sys/nas_mcd.cfg).
4. Gather the following required configuration details:
• Array Addresses: List of VNX (Celerra) storage array addresses, only one Control Stations address per array.
• Celerra Array User ID & Password: Credentials for a view-only user with an Operator role.

• Fully qualified Domain Name for the root of the LDAP directory tree.
• IP address or host name of the primary directory host that is used for authentication.
• Active Directory restricted user login name(with directory search/read privileges) that binds to the directory server.
