Configuring and Monitoring an EMC Clariion SAN storage system
Configuring and Monitoring an
EMC Clariion SAN storage
system
The EMC Clariion SAN storage system can be configured and monitored by following the steps given below:

Administer the eG manager to monitor the EMC Clariion SAN storage system

Monitor the EMC Clariion SAN storage system
1.1 Pre-requisites for Monitoring EMC Clariion SAN
storage system
To enable the eG agent to invoke and communicate with the storage system, the following pre-requisites
should be fulfilled:

The eG agent should be deployed on the same host on which the NaviSphere CLI (i.e., the
NaviSecCLI.exe) operates;

The NaviSphere CLI should run on a host that communicates with the storage system

Each test executed by the agent should be configured with the full path to the NaviSecCLI.exe and
the credentials of a user who has access to the storage system

Performance logging should be enabled on the storage system; the steps to be followed to
achieve this have been detailed in Section 1.1.1 of this document.
1.1.1 Enabling Performance Logging on the Storage System
To achieve this, login to the host on which the Navisphere CLI operates, and issue the following command
at the command prompt:
naviseccli -h <array-ip> -scope 0 -user <name of user with access to storage system> -password <password of
user with access to storage system> setstats -on
For instance, if the IP address of the storage array is 192.168.10.86, and the credentials of the user with
rights to access the storage array are username: john and password: john, the command will be:
naviseccli -h 19.168.10.86 -scope 0 -user john -password john setstats -on
Alternatively, you can follow the steps detailed below to enable performance logging on the storage system:
1.
From
a
web
browser,
connect
http://<IP_address_of_storage_array>/
to
2.

4.
The following page will then appear. Specify the Host IP address and the Nick name of the EMC
Clariion SAN storage system. This EMC Clariion SAN component can only be monitored in an agentless
manner. Therefore, set the Agentless flag to Yes, select Other as the OS and SNMP as the Mode.
Then, click the Add button to register the changes (see Figure 1.10).
Figure 1.10: Adding a new component type of EMC Clariion SAN
Though the Mode is set to SNMP while adding a new component, the eG agent will be able
to collect metrics from the target environment through the NAVISSECCLI path that will be
specified by you during parameter configuration for the tests pertaining to the EMC Clariion
SAN storage system.
5.
A summary of the new component details will then appear.
6.
The EMC Clariion SAN component type so added will be managed automatically by eG Enterprise. Now,
try to sign out of the user interface. Doing so, will bring up the following page as shown in Figure
1.11, which prompts you to configure a list of unconfigured tests for the new EMC Clariion SAN
component type.

Here, specify the following:
 TEST PERIOD – How often should the test needs to be executed
 HOST - The IP address of the storage device.
 PORT - The port number at which the storage device listens. The default is NULL.
 CLARIION IP – By default, the HOST IP will be displayed here. If at a later point in time, the IP
address of the device changes, you can change the CLARIION IP.
 NAVISECCLIPATH – The eG agent uses the command-line utility, NaviSecCli.exe, which is
part of the NaviSphere Management Suite, to communicate with and monitor the storage
device. To enable the eG agent to invoke the CLI, configure the full path to the CLI
in the NAVISECCLIPATH text box.
 USERNAME and PASSWORD– Provide the credentials of a user who is authorized to access the
storage device in the USER NAME and PASSWORD text boxes.
 CONFIRM PASSWORD – Confirm the password by retyping it here.

IP address of the device changes, you can change the CLARIION IP.
 NAVISECCLIPATH – The eG agent uses the command-line utility, NaviSecCli.exe, which is
part of the NaviSphere Management Suite, to communicate with and monitor the storage
device. To enable the eG agent to invoke the CLI, configure the full path to the CLI
in the NAVISECCLIPATH text box.
 USERNAME and PASSWORD– Provide the credentials of a user who is authorized to access the
storage device in the USER NAME and PASSWORD text boxes.
 CONFIRM PASSWORD – Confirm the password by retyping it here.
 TIMEOUT - Indicate the duration (in seconds) for which this test should wait for a response from
the storage system. By default, this is set to 120 seconds.
 USER SCOPE - In most secure target environments, administrators may not want to expose their
user credentials for those accessing all the EMC VNX Storage systems in the target environment.
In such a case, select Local as the USER SCOPE so that the user will be allowed to access only
that EMC VNX Storage system he/she is authorized to. Select Global from this list if the user is
authorized to access all the EMC VNX Storage systems in the target environment.
