Prerequisites
• IP Addresses of Controller A (SPA) and Controller
B (SPB)
• Identify firmware/Flare code of array and confirm it
is compatible with latest SMI-S provider. *Some
older firmware is only compatible with older SMI-S
provider versions.
• If the array has Flare Code 26 it requires EMC
SMIKit 6.4.2 (Provider 3.2.2) and higher
• Install EMC Solutions Enabler with SMI-S on a
Windows/Linux server with IP connectivity to the
array controllers.
• User account on Navisphere with admin/manager
privileges on the CX array
• For each CX, enable "Statistics Logging" for all
storage processors via Navisphere
• If SMI-S provider is on a server connected to the
SAN being monitored see FAQ-92.
• Note: CX600 arrays – require a Flare code higher
than 16 (2.16.x.x.x) for data to be gathered using
SMI-S
Credentials
