enterprise for approval by an authorized EMC Global Services
professional.
Note: If you will be submitting device management, removal, or edit requests
via the Configuration CLI Commands, be sure to inform your EMC Global
Services professional so that the necessary approvals can be made via the
EMC enterprise.
Unmanaging a device
If you want to un-manage a device, you use the manage_device --
remove-device command to request the device’s removal from the
list of managed devices. Your request will be sent to the EMC
enterprise for approval by an EMC Global Services professional.
When approved, the serial number of the device will be disassociated
from your Gateway Client.
Gateway Extract Utility
To configure a device for management by a Gateway Client, the EMC
Global Services professional on site must know the following for each
managed device: serial number, product type, and an IP address that
the Gateway Client can use to communicate with the device. The
Gateway Extract utility (GWExt), when run on the EMC device, can
be used to automate the collection of this information and transport it
to the Gateway Client. EMC supplies the GWExt utility with the
Gateway Client installer. For a list of the products that the GWExt
utility supports, see Table 4 on page 34.
Your EMC Global Services professional copies the GWExt utility from
the Gateway Client server to the device that is to be managed.
The GWExt utility requests the Gateway Client server IP address. It
then extracts the serial number and local IP address from the
managed device, creates a configuration file, and sends the file to the
Gateway Client via HTTPS by default. The Gateway Client then
uploads the file to the EMC enterprise.
Certain products qualified for ESRS have a GWExt information file
installed at time of production. This information file contains product
information that the GWExt utility gathers and submits to the
