Start the XML API Server
Before collecting data from the EMC VNX (Celerra) server, the XML API server must be enabled (By default, the XML API server is disabled.). The XML API provides a communication protocol that supports authentication and XML requests.
To start the XML API server, take the following steps on the VNX server.
1. Login as root.
2. In the /nas/sys/nas_mcd.cfg file, uncomment the following lines:
daemon "XML API Server"
executable "/nas/sbin/start_xml_api_server"
optional yes
canexit yes
autorestart yes
ioaccess no
3. Restart the NAS services:
service nas start
At this point, the XML API is started and is controlled by the master control daemon.
