Discovering EMC CLARiiON Storage Systems
The EMC Navisphere® CLI must be installed on the management server for the management server
to communicate with the CLARiiON® storage system. At the time this documentation was created,
EMC distributed the Navisphere CLI as part of the EMC Navisphere Software Suite. For Solaris,
you must install the Navisphere Disk Array Management Tool CLI (NAVICLI).
Contact your EMC representative for more information about obtaining the Navisphere CLI.
Distribution rights for the Navisphere CLI belong to EMC.
IMPORTANT: Before you discover a CLARiiON storage system, you must have already installed
all required software components for that CLARiiON storage system, such as the Navisphere Host
Agent. See the documentation for your storage system for more information.
In Navisphere Manager add one of the following to the privilege user section:
SYSTEM@<name_of_my_management_server>
SYSTEM@<IP_of_my_management_server>
where
• name_of_my_management_server is the DNS name of the computer running the
management server software
