Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (EMC VNX CLARiiON)
• 64-bit OS. See the Hitachi Storage Viewer Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.
• Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.
• For performance reasons, HDS recommends that you do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the Hitachi Storage Viewer Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.
• Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).
• Note the port used by the EMC CLARiiON Data Collector: NaviCLI 443/2163/6389/6390/6391/6392.
• NaviSecCLI must be installed on the Data Collector server.
• A low security level for certificates is required. Ensure this setting by using the following command:
naviseccli security -certificate -setLevel low
• Gather the following required configuration details:
• Array Addresses: List of IP addresses to be probed, only one storage processor address per array.
• EMC Navi Client Software Location: Path of the software installation.
• NaviSuite User ID & Password: Credentials for a view-only user ID.
• Enable statistics logging on the VNX system to collect LUN performance information.
