Navisphere off-array management stations

An off-array management station is a Microsoft Windows Server
2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Windows XP host that is
connected to the storage-system management ports through a network
and is running some or all of the following CLARiiON software:

The Navisphere Manager UIs and the Navisphere Management Server

are part of the FLARE Operating Environment (OE) on the following
storage systems: AX4-5 series and AX series that have been upgraded to
Navisphere Manager, CX4 series, CX3 UltraScale series, and CX series.
Depending on the type of off-array management station, you may or

may not be able to access Navisphere Manager from it.
An off-array management station can be updated with new CLARiiON
software without requiring a host reboot. A storage system cannot be
updated with new FLARE Operating Environment (OE) software,
which includes the Navisphere Manager UIs and Management Server,
without a storage-system reboot.
Setting Up a Navisphere Off-Array Management Station
Types of Navisphere off-array management stations

The types of off-array management stations are:
Full-function station
Remote user station
Secure entry point station
Domain member station
Standalone performance station
Event monitoring station
CLARalert station
Celerra Navisphere station
Full-function station
A full-function station is a one-stop off-array management station
because it runs all CLARiiON software that can be installed on an
off-array management station and performs all the functions that any
other type of station can perform.
From it you can use Navisphere Manager to:
Manage a Navisphere storage-system domain and multi-domain

environment
Monitor storage-system operations
Monitor and adjust storage-system performance
A full-function station should be made part of a domain, and we

recommend that it be the domain master so that a storage system is not
burdened with performing the domain master tasks.
We strongly recommend that you do not connect an off-array management

station that is running event monitor or CLARalert to the storage systems
data ports.
Remote user station or secure entry point station

A remote user station or a secure entry point station is an off-array
management station (a local host) that is connected to storage-system
management ports through a network and is running only the
Navisphere Manager UIs. For a remote user, this configuration
eliminates the overhead of accessing the UI from a storage system. For
additional security, you can limit management access to the storage
system to only those authorized users who have installed the UIs on
their host by disabling the ability to launch the UIs from the storage
system.

A domain member station is an off-array management station that has
been added to a Navisphere storage-system domain. You can make it
the domain master, if you want to offload a small amount of overhead
from a storage system. You can use this station to add a storage system
running a newer version of the Navisphere Management Server and
Navisphere Manager UIs to a domain made up of storage systems
running earlier versions.
The Navisphere Management Server and Navisphere Manager UIs are part
of the storage systems FLARE OE.
The domain member station must be running the latest Navisphere

Management Server and Navisphere Manager UIs versions or at
least the same versions that is running on the storage system you are
adding to the domain. Without a domain member station, you must
update the FLARE OE version running on one of the storage systems
in the domain to get the latest or same version of the Navisphere
Management Server and Navisphere Manager UIs. This update is more
difficult and disruptive than updating the Navisphere Management

Server and Navisphere Manager UIs on a domain member station.

A standalone performance station is an off-array management
station used mostly by a service provider to analyze storage-system
performance with Navisphere Analyzer and/or manage storage-system
quality of service with Navisphere Quality of Service Manager (NQM).
Event monitoring station or CLARalert station

In a centralized event monitoring environment, an off-array
management station can be a monitor station for event monitor or
CLARalert, sending alerts or automatically notifying your service
provider when certain events occur. By offloading this work from one
or more storage systems to a monitor station, you can improve the
performance of these storage systems.
For a centralized event monitoring station, you must configure at least
one event monitoring template. For a CLARalert monitor station, you
must install the CLARalert template.
We strongly recommend that you do not connect an off-array management
station that is running event monitor or CLARalert to the storage systems
data ports.

An off-array management station can be a Celerra Navisphere station,
which manages a CLARiiON storage system that is part of a Celerra
system. You can use a Celerra Navisphere station to manage storage for
the hosts connected to the storage-system Fibre Channel ports either
directly or through a SAN.

Installing the required software

This section describes how to install the required software on the
Windows host that will be an off-array management station. This
Windows host must be on the same network as the storage-system
management ports.
Installing the Windows Management Server

Download and install the Windows Management Server from
Powerlink to your off-array management station. For versions 6.28 or
earlier, you can also install it from the Navisphere Manager Accessories
CD.
1. From the Powerlink website, select Support > Software Downloads
and Licensing > Downloads C > CLARiiON Navisphere Manager.
2. From the CLARiiON Navisphere Manager Downloads page,
select the Management Server version you want to download and

packaging version.

Windows_UIs_6.w.x.y.z.exe
where, w x, y, and z are numbers that vary
depending on the version of the executable that you have.
b. Follow the installation wizard instructions.
Install the Navisphere Host Agent for Windows

If the off-array management station that you are setting up is a
full-function management station or a CLARalert station, you do not
need to install the host agent because it is installed automatically as
part of the CLARalert installation. You need to install this software
only on an off-array management station that you are setting up as an
event monitoring station.
Download the host agent software from the Powerlink website and
install it on the server or, for versions 6.28 or earlier, you can install it
from the server support CD.
8
1. Log in as the administrator or a user who has administrative

privileges.
2. If your server is behind a firewall, open TCP/IP port 6389. This
port is used by the host agent. If this port is not opened, the host
agent will not function properly.
3. If you are running a version prior to 6.26 of the host agent, you
must remove it before continuing with the installation.
4. To download the software, do the following:
a. From the Powerlink website, select Support > Software
Downloads and Licensing > Downloads J-O > Navisphere
Server Software.
b. On the storage-system support website, select the link to
download software.

where version and build are the version number and the build
number of the software.

navihostagent_Windows-version.exe
where version is the version number of the software.
5. If you are installing version 6.28 or earlier, you can install the
software from the server support CD; however, the CD may not
contain the most recent version for your configuration. To install
the software from the server support CD, do the following:
a. In the servers drive, insert the server support CD, which
shipped with the storage system or the upgrade kit (for AX4-5
series or AX series systems upgrading to Navisphere Manager).
The server support menu opens. If you do not see the server
support menu, follow the steps below to open it. If you have a
Windows Server 2008 Core system, the server support menu

will not open; skip to step 6 for information on starting the
executable.
From the Windows taskbar, select:

Start > Run
In the Run dialog box, enter:

drive:\locales\en_US\start.html
where drive is the letter for the CD drive. Click OK.
b. From the main menu select Install Products on Server.

The INSTALL PRODUCTS page opens.
c. Select Navisphere Host Agent.
6. For Windows Server 2008 Core systems, do the following:
a. Change to the CD drive, for example d:.
b. Navigate to the Windows host agent directory.
cd windows\naviagent
c.
Start the executable:

NaviAgent.exe
7. Follow the instructions on the installation screens to install the

Navisphere Host Agent.
The Navisphere Host Agent software is installed on the Windows
server. If you selected the default destination folder, the software is
installed in the C:\Program Files\EMC\Navisphere Agent (32bit)
or C:\Program Files (x86)\EMC\Navisphere Agent (64bit).
Once the Navisphere Host Agent installation is complete, the
Initialize Privileged User List dialog box is displayed.
8. In the Initialize Privileged User List dialog box, select
Create/Overwrite File and browse to the agent.config file. You will
then need to add users to the Privileged User List (login names for
this server). Only users logged in as listed in the Privileged User
10
List can send CLI commands to the storage system. perform one of
the following:
If the Config File field contains a file entry, then a host

agent configuration file already exists on the server from a
previous agent installation. Select Use Existing File to use this
configuration file or select Browse to use a different file. The
host agent configuration file contains a list of login names for
this server. Only users logged in as listed in the Privileged User
List can send CLI commands to the storage system.
If the Config File field does not contain a file entry, a host
agent configuration file does not exist on the server. Select
Create/Overwrite File and browse to the agent.config file. You
will then need to add users to the Privileged User List (login
names for this server). Only users logged in as listed in the
Privileged User List can send CLI commands to the storage
system.
There must be at least one entry in the Privileged User List or an error
message will appear.
To add a user to the list
Click Add to open the Add Privileged User dialog box.
In the Add Privileged User dialog box, under User Name, enter
the persons account username, for example, Administrator.
Under System Name, enter the name of the host running

Navisphere Manager (for example, Host4) and click OK.
To remove a privileged user from the list

Select the privileged username, and click Remove.
9. Click OK to save the new privileged user list and/or the new
configuration file.
The program saves the host agent configuration file with the new
privileged user entries and starts the host agent.
10. In the Navisphere Agent Setup dialog box, click Finish.
A command line window opens indicating that the host agent
service is starting.
11
11. If you are prompted to reboot the server, click Yes.

Windows servers with NIC initiators If you do not reboot before
you run the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator, the NIC initiators
cannot log in to the storage system.
12. If you updated the host agent and were using event monitor,
restore the event monitor configuration from a previously copied
Navimon.cfg file:
a. Stop the agent:
At the Windows server, log in as the administrator or the

equivalent.
Open the Services pane.

z
From the desktop, right-click My Computer and select

Manage > Services and Applications > Services.
or
Select Start > Administrative Tools > Computer

Management > Services and Applications > Services.
The Services pane opens.
In the Services pane, right-click Navisphere Agent and

select Stop.
If asked to confirm your request to stop the agent service,

click Yes, and close the Services pane or dialog box.
b. Move or copy the saved Navimon.cfg to the real Navimon.cfg

file.
c. Start the agent:
At the Windows server, log in as the administrator or the

equivalent.
Open the Services pane.

z
From the desktop, right-click My Computer and select

Manage > Services and Applications > Services.
or
Select Start > Administrative Tools > Computer

Management > Services and Applications > Services.
The Services pane opens.

12
In the Services pane, right-click Navisphere Agent and

select Start.
If you want the host agent to start automatically at system

startup:
z
Right-click Navisphere Agent and select Properties.

The Navisphere Agent Properties dialog box opens.
Select the General tab.
In Startup Type, select Automatic.

The host agent will now start automatically at system
startup.
Close Computer Management.

It may take a few minutes for the host agent to start if either
applications are using the storage system or the SP event log
is large and the host agent configuration file is not set up.
13. Click Done to exit the installation wizard.

14. If you have a multihomed host (multiple NIC cards installed on
the host), create an agentID.txt file to ensure that the agent finds
the correct NIC card.
A multihomed host machine has multiple IP addresses connected to
networks; it is physically connected to multiple data links that can be on the
same or different networks. When you install Navisphere Host Agent on a
multihomed host, the host agent, by default, binds to the first NIC in the
host. If your host is multihomed, for the host agent to successfully register
with the desired CLARiiON storage system, you need to configure the host
agent to bind to a specific NIC. You do this by setting up an agentID.txt file.
a. Using a text editor that does not add special formatting, create a
file named agentID.txt (case sensitive). Save this file by doing
one of the following:
Set the EV_AGENTID_DIRECTORY environmental

variable to the location you want to save the agentID.txt
file. The Navisphere Host Agent will then look for the
agentID.txt file in the location you specified.
If you do not specify a location in the EV_AGENTID_DIRECTORY environmental variable, Navisphere Host Agent
will look for the agentID.txt file in the location specified
13
by the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EMC\Agent\1.0\ConfigPath. This location is

usually C:\Program Files\emc\ Navisphere Agent.
If EV_AGENTID_DIRECTORY or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EMC\Agent\1.0\ConfigPath does

not exist, create the agentID.txt file in the C:\ directory.
b. Add the following two separate lines to the agentID.txt file,

with no special formatting:
First line: Fullyqualified hostname of the host
Second line: IP address of the NIC port that you want
Navisphere agent to use
For example, if your host is named host28 on the domain

mydomain.com and your host contains two NICs, HBA1/NIC1
with IP address 192.111.222.2 and HBA2/NIC2 with IP address
192.111.222.3, and you want the host agent to use NIC 2, you
would configure agentID.txt as follows:
host28.mydomain.com
192.111.222.3
The agentID.txt file should contain only these two lines, without any
formatting. The first line should contain the hostname and the second
line should contain the IP address of the NIC port as described above.
Both lines should end with a carriage return. As a result, the cursor will
be on a third line but this line should not contain any text.
c. Save the agentID.txt file.

d. Restart the host agent.
e. Once the host agent has restarted, verify that the host agent is
using the correct IP address that is entered in the agentID.txt
file by doing one of the following:
14
In Navisphere Manager, verify that the host IP address is the

same as the IP address that you entered in the agentID.txt
file. If the address is the same, the agentID.txt file is
configured correctly.
View the new HostIdFile.txt file. You should see the IP

address that is entered in the agentID.txt file.
15. If you installed the host agent from the CD, close the server support
menu by selecting Main Menu and then Exit. You can now remove
the CD from the servers CD drive.
16. Verify that Navisphere Host Agent is installed using the
Add/Remove Programs dialog box.
17. Create and apply any Event Monitor templates.
Installing CLARalert
CLARalert installation requires:
A monitor station, which is the off-array management station
you are setting up. The monitor station cannot be a server (host
connected to storage-system data ports), and it must be on the same
network as your storage-system management ports. You must
provide the IP address for the monitor station during CLARalert
installation. The monitor station (off-array management station)
must have a static or DHCP reserved IP address.
A portal system, which is a storage system running the required
FLARE Operating Environment (OE) version. For required
versions, refer to the EMC CLARalert Release Notes.
You must provide the IP address for either SP of the portal
system during CLARalert installation. You must also supply
login credentials for the portal system (global manager or global
administrator) during installation.
For a new CLARalert installation, the wizard automatically installs the
email notification service, which sends event notification to your service
provider by email (SMTP). CLARalert integrates with WebEx, allowing
you to initiate real-time customer support sessions over the web. Go to
the WebEx EMC Support Center at https://emcsupport.webex.com for
more information on WebEx.
Downloading and installing CLARalert software
From the monitor station:
1. On the Powerlink website, select the Search Powerlink tab.
2. Replace the Search Powerlink text with claralert and in Filter
by content type, select Support: Downloads and click Search.
15
3. In the results page, select Download CLARalert and save the

software to your monitor station.
4. In the folder where you saved CLARalert_version.exe, double-click
the file, or if necessary, right-click the file and select Run as to run
the installation wizard using a different users credentials.
5. Follow the steps in the wizard, using the information from the
completed CLARalert Worksheet in the planning guide for your
storage system.
You can generate the latest version of the storage-system planning
guide from the CLARiiON Tools page on the Powerlink website.
Installing the Navisphere Service Taskbar

The Navisphere Service Taskbar (NST) is a Java-based desktop
application that helps you update, install, and maintain your
storage-system hardware and software, and provide contact and
storage-system information to your service provider.
Use the wizards within the NST to perform hardware installation tasks,
such as adding a new disk drive or disk-array enclosure, or hardware
maintenance tasks, such as replacing a faulted disk drive or verifying
that your storage system is operating normally. You can also use the
NST to update your storage-system software.
Downloading and installing the Navisphere Service Taskbar
On the monitor station:
1. From the Powerlink website, select Support > Product and
Diagnostic Tools > CLARiiON Tools > About Navisphere Service
Taskbar
2. On the About Navisphere Service Taskbar page, select the
Navisphere Service Taskbar link and select the option to save the
software to your host or management station
3. In the folder where you saved the NST, double-click the
setup_NST.exe file, and if necessary, click Run to start the
installation wizard.
4. Follow the instructions that appear.
16
After you accept the license agreement, the wizard verifies that
the server is running the supported Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) version.
If the server is running an earlier version of the JRE, select Yes

when asked if you want to continue with the installation.
The installation wizard prompts you to download and install
the later version of the JRE from the Sun website.
If the server is running a later version of the JRE, the installation

wizard asks if you want to continue with the installation.
Select Yes to continue or No to quit the installation.
Important: If you select Yes, the NST may not work properly with
a later JRE version. If you select No, and manually remove the later
version of the JRE, other applications that require this version may
not work properly.
5. When the installation is complete, click Done.
17
Specifying the communications channel for an off-array

management station
1. Open a new Internet browser and enter the appropriate url below:
If a web server such as IIS is running on the off-array

management station, you cannot use standard ports to
access Navisphere Manager. You must specify the ports
that Navisphere defines by entering the following url:
http://localhost:2162/setup
If a web server is not running on the off-array management

station, enter the following url: http://localhost/setup
The Management Server Networking Configuration dialog
box opens.
2. Verify the following:
IP to listen on lists the IP address(es) of the server.

If you have multiple LAN cards or ports, select one of the IP addresses
from the drop-down list or use the default IP address.
Management Ports lists the ports of the server that are available
for communication.
3. Click Apply Settings so the Management Server recognizes the

IP address.
18
Initialize security for an off-array management station

1. In the Internet browser, enter the IP address of the off-array
management station (the same IP address listed in the IP to listen
on in the previous step).
The Confirm: Navisphere Security dialog box opens.
2. Click Yes to set the security.
The Create Global Administrator dialog box opens.
3. Enter a username and password, and click OK.
4. In the Confirm: Add User? dialog box, click Yes to add the new
user.
5. In the Success: Initialize Security dialog box, click OK.
6. In Navisphere Manager, log in as the global administrator using the
account that you just created (File > Login).
19
Adding an off-array management station to a domain

When you add an off-array management station to a domain, we
strongly recommend that you make the station the domain master so a
storage system does not have to perform the domain master tasks.
1. Start Navisphere Manager on the off-array management station.
2. Log in as the global administrator.
3. Use Navisphere Manager, as described in the manager help, to:
a. Configure the off-array management station as a domain master.
b. Create a domain or configure a multi-domain environment to
which you will add your storage systems.
20
Starting Navisphere Manager on the off-array management station

You can start manager on any off-array management station that has
the manager UIs installed on it, that is, on all types of stations except
for a monitor station or a CLARalert station. Start manager using a
browser, the Navisphere Manager icon on the stations desktop, or
the path Start > All Programs > EMC > Navisphere > Navisphere
Off-Array Management UI. If you want to connect to the station using
a connection type other than the stations IP address, you must use the
Navisphere Manager icon.
Starting manager using a browser

1. Start a supported browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Netscape, or Mozilla.
2. In the browser, enter the IP address of the off-array management
station.
The Navisphere Manager main window opens with a navigation pane
