About the Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility
For CX3-series and CX-series Fibre Channel storage systems, use the
utility to discover storage systems, and set network parameters (IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
Note: For CX-series storage systems, an authorized service provider must
install and run the Initialization Utility.
For AX-series storage systems, use the utility to discover storage
systems, set network parameters (IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway), and create management user accounts. In addition, for
AX150 iSCSI storage systems, use the utility to set network parameters
for the storage system’s iSCSI data ports.
You can run the Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility from
the server support CD or you can install it on a server that is connected
to the storage system. We recommend that you install the utility on at
least one server that is connected to the storage system.

AX100-series systems must be running FLARE OE 02.16.xxx.5.yyy or later.
About the Navisphere Host Agent
The host agent registers the server’s HBA (host bus adapter) with the
attached storage system when the host agent service starts. This action
sends the initiator records for each HBA to the storage system. Initiator
records are used to control access to storage-system data. For legacy
storage systems, the host agent will send the initiator records only if
Access Logix™ software is installed.
Theagentcanthenretrieveinformationfromthestoragesystem
automatically at startup or when requested by Manager or CLI.
Thehostagentcanalso:
Send drive mapping information to the attached CLARiiON®
storage systems.
Monitor storage-system events and can notify personnel by email,
page, or modem when any designated event occurs.
Retrieve LUN WWN (world wide name) and capacity information
from Symmetrix® storage systems.
The host agent runs on servers attached to CX3–series and CX–series. It also
runs on servers attached to AX-series storage systems that have been upgraded
to Navisphere Manager, that is, that have the Navisphere Manager enabler
installed.
About the Navisphere Server Utility
The server ut

EMC CLARiiON Server Support Products for Solaris Server Installation Guide
ility allows you to perform the following three functions:
Update server information to the storage system —Thisoption
sends the server name and IP address to the storage system and,
if needed later on, allows you to update or view this data. For
Windows servers running Navisphere Server Utility version 6.20 or
higher, if the Registration Service feature remains enabled after the
installation of the server utility, the utility will automatically register
theserver’sNICsorHBAswiththestoragesystemandupdate
server information whenever there is a configuration change (for
example, when you mount new volumes or create new partitions).
Verify server high availability (HA) — Allows you to determine if
the server is configured for high availability (HA) by verifying that
theserverhasatleastoneconnectionpathtoeachstoragesystem
SP, and that PowerPath or some other failover software, such as
DMP or PV Links, is running. The utility will not detect any other
native failover software, such as Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager or
Linux native multipath (MPIO).
This feature is currently supported only on CX3–series and CX-series
storage systems and is not available on Solaris iSCSI servers.
Use the snapshot feature — Storage systems running Navisphere
Express can start and stop a snapshot on the source server (server
assigned to the source virtual disk), or can allow or remove access
to the snapshot by the secondary server (server assigned to the
snapshot).
You can run the Navisphere Server Utility from the CD or you can
install it on the servers that are connected to the storage system. We
strongly recommend that you install the utility on each server that is
connected to the storage system.

About the Navisphere CLI
Note: The Admsnap Utility runs on servers attached to CX3-series and
CX-series. It also runs on servers attached to AX-series storage systems that
have been upgraded to Navisphere Manager, that is, that have the Navisphere
Manager enabler installed. If you upgraded to Navisphere Manager and
want to manage snapshots, you must use the SnapView software and the
Admsnap Utility. For more information on SnapView and admsnap, refer to
the Navisphere Manager help and the EMC SnapView Command Line Interfaces
Reference.
The CLI complements or can be used as an alternative to Manager. It
provides a command line interface for storage-system management,
including storage provisioning, status and configuration information
retrieval, and control. You can use the CLI to automate management
functions through shell scripts and batch files. Navisphere CLI includes
the Secure, Classic, and Java CLI functionalities. For more information,
refer to the EMC Navisphere Command Line Interface (CLI) Reference Guide.
Note: The Navisphere CLI can run on servers or remote management stations
that are attached to CX3-series and CX-series. It can also run on servers or
remote management stations that are attached to AX100 and AX150 storage
systems that have been upgraded to Navisphere Manager, that is, that have the
Navisphere Manager enabler installed.
