Owner's Manual

Lasso is a Java-based utility that automates the collection of logs and configuration from servers, disk
arrays (EqualLogic, PowerVault MD-Series and EMC), Fibre Channel switches (Brocade, McData, and Cisco),
Tape Libraries, and Ethernet and FCoE switches.
After the collection, Lasso parses the data into an XML file, which is packaged with the original collection
and encrypted. The encrypted file is uploaded to Dell for review.
Dell’s Systems Maintenance Service (SMS) and Dell Tech Support uses the data to determine hardware,
software, and firmware versions for purposes of compatibility and upgradeability of existing equipment.
