Analyzer Software

Analyzer Software
Analyzer software consists of a storage-system provider and a user
interface (UI) for managing the Analyzer functionality, including the
archives, and a command line interface (CLI) for managing the
archives.

Analyzer Provider To use Analyzer with a CX-Series storage system, the Analyzer
provider must be enabled on the storage system. The provider is
enabled when the Analyzer Enabler, which is part of the Analyzer kit,
is installed on the storage system. If you ordered Analyzer with a
new CX-Series storage system, you or your service provider installs
the Analyzer Enabler during storage-system initialization.

Once the provider is enabled, it stays enabled even if you upgrade the
FLARE™ Operating Environment software on the storage system.

Analyzer UI The Analyzer UI requires the Management UI, which is part of

Navisphere Manager. For you to use these UIs, they must be enabled
on the storage system at which you will point your browser. Prior to
shipment, both UIs are enabled on CX300, CX500, and CX700 storage
systems, but not enabled, on CX200, CX400, and CX600 storage
systems. Both UIs are enabled on a CX400 or CX600 storage system
when the Manager Enabler, which is part of the Manager kit, is
installed on the storage system. If you ordered Manager with a new
CX200, CX400, or CX600 storage system, the Manager Enabler can be
installed during storage-system initialization.

Once the UIs are enabled, they stay enabled even if you upgrade the FLARE
Operating Environment software on the storage system.

Analyzer CLI Analyzer CLI is part of the Navisphere CLI, which ships with the
Navisphere Host Agent kits.

without the Storage Management Server
software installed; you want to manage these
systems using Navisphere Manager; and you
want to analyze the performance of these
storage systems with Analyzer.

Files installed as part of the Windows server
installation are protected by ACLs (under NTFS).
ACLs are not supported on FAT file systems, so
the files that normally would be protected under

Installation

Installation
IMPORTANT - When you install new software on a storage system,
do not remove or reboot an SP while installation is in progress. Doing
so may leave the storage system in a transient state where it cannot be
restarted. Wait for the entire upgrade process to complete and
automatically reboot the SPs.

Installation Prerequisites
EMC Navisphere® Manager must be enabled on the SPs in at least
one storage system in the Navisphere domain containing the storage
systems that will participate in the same mirror. (For information on
Navisphere domains, see the EMC Navisphere Security Administrator’s
Guide on the documentation CD.)

Prior to shipment, Manager is enabled on CX300, CX500, and CX700 storage

systems, but not enabled on CX200, CX400, and CX600 storage systems.
Manager is enabled on these systems when the Manager Enabler is
installed.The Manager Enabler can be installed on CX200, CX400, and CX600
storage systems at the same time as the Analyzer Enabler. Once Manager is
enabled, it stays enabled even if you upgrade the FLARE™ Operating
Environment on the storage system.

To Install .ena Files on a Storage System

To install one or more .ena files on a storage system, follow the
procedure in the software installation section of the EMC Navisphere
Manager Administrator’s Guide (P/N 069001125). See the table on
page 3 for a list of .ena files.

 Documentation CD

To Install Optional .exe Files on a Windows Server (Portal)

If you want to use a Windows PC or server as a portal in your
Navisphere domain, you must install the Windows Management
Server and Windows UI executables on the portal. These executables
are provided on the Navisphere Manager Accessories CD (see the table
on page 3). If you want to use Analyzer to monitor the performance
of storage systems managed by the portal, you must also install the
Analyzer provider executable on the portal. This executable is on the
EMC Navisphere Analyzer Accessories CD.
To install these executables, follow the instructions in the
InstallShield Wizard and select the Manager UI, the Analyzer UI, and
the UIs for any other software installed on storage systems in the
same domain as the Windows server. Once you have installed these
executables, refer to the EMC Navisphere Manager Installation Sheet
(P/N 069001172) for instructions on initializing security and setting
the Management Server settings for the server.

the EMC CX-Series Hardware and Software Documentation CD
