DELL Lasso Version 4.
This readme contains information for Lasso 4.2. 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.
Hardware and Software Requirements Supported Devices Lasso collects data from: Storage Arrays: o o o o o o Dell EMC CLARiiON Storage Processor Release 6 or later Dell EMC Celerra Storage devices (NAS) PowerVault MD Series arrays - MD3000, MD3000i, MD3200, MD3220, MD3200i, MD3220i and MD3600i PowerVault FluidFS NAS EqualLogic PS series Release 4.
o Cisco 4948 o Cisco 3750E/3750X o Cisco CBS 3130 o Cisco CBS 3030 o Cisco Catalyst 3750E o Cisco Nexus 5020/7000/5548 o Dell Force10 S50/S60/S2410/S4810 Enclosures: o Dell M1000e Before collecting data, make sure to perform the settings provided in Software Requirements section. Prerequisites Make sure IP connectivity is available to all defined devices. .NET framework 2.0 and SP v1.0 or later. NOTE: For EqualLogic, MD series, and Compellent SAN, .Net framework 2.
Modular Disk Storage Manager must be installed on the management station for successful MD Series collection. Modify the timeout value, since the default timeout value of 15 minutes may not be sufficient to collect data from PowerVault NX3500 and EqualLogic FS7500 devices. The timeout value (nas.timeout.value) must be modified in the NAS.properties file available in the Lasso installation directory. NOTE: The timeout value is in milliseconds.
DF378248: Microsoft Security Essentials detects Lasso as a threat during Windows collection. Resolution: Disable Microsoft Security Essentials during Windows Collection. Add xCmd.exe as a trusted program in the exception list of McAfee and AVG antivirus respectively. Windows host validation fails if “xCmd” is registered erroneously. Resolution: Check the host’s services to verify if “xCmd” is registered erroneously.
Resolution Cancel the installation and retry. Issue 3 Description The NX4 configuration is not sent if you run a collection for NX4 without root credentials and the “send full collection” option is cleared. Resolution Make sure that the “send full collection” option is selected before running a collection for NX4 without root credentials.
Resolution Run the command "getall". NOTE: This command provides less information. Issue 8 Description When Lasso is run from a Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2, if the User Access Control (UAC) is activated, the MD Series data collection is not successful. Resolution Make sure the User Access Control (UAC) is deactivated. Issue 9 (DF476739) Description When Lasso GUI is opened and Lasso is uninstalled through CLI, the system reboots.
Resolution Do not click on revalidate button while editing the device details. Issue 13 (Lasso-217) Description Lasso displays incorrect value for MD3000i Host Port IPv6 configuration status. Resolution Refer to MD Series Storage array file in raw data collection for the correct value. Issue 14 (Lasso- 263) Description Lasso fails to create collection package, when MD Series is the device in collection and the collection is done on the Windows 7 system.
Issue 18 (Lasso-277) Description For CLARiiON array, fabrics information is not parsed in output HTML report. Resolution Refer to raw data collection for fabrics information. Issue 19 (LASSO-557) Description Edit option should be disabled, when the CLARiiON attached windows hosts are validated with cache credentials. Resolution Do not click on the Edit option, since the status displays that the credentials are already validated.
Resolution When upload is in progress, do not change the proxy credentials. Issue 24 (LASSO-558) Description Lasso does not collect vm-support logs for normal user from EqualLogic attached VMware host. Resolution Use root credentials instead of normal user credentials for VMware host in Lasso to collect vm-support logs.
LASSO-241: For Windows Host with Emulex FC HBA card configured, incorrect data representation is seen for command hbacmd GetVPD, in Lasso collection output. LASSO-244: VMWare ESX 4.1 Host displays incorrect “Update version” in Lasso output HTML report. LASSO-245: “Physical Disk Type” and “Capacity” Disk Group attributes for MD Series 3200i and 3600i Arrays are displayed incorrectly in Lasso output HTML report. LASSO-247: Parsing for an EqualLogic array with firmware version 6.
LASSO-314: Lasso should show the correct value for iSCSI NIC driver version on a Linux host. LASSO-315: Lasso fails to collect and parse group network management IP details for an EqualLogic Storage Array. LASSO-317: Lasso command line interface does not work on x64 machines if 64-bit JRE is installed. LASSO-318: Lasso repeats the "show system" information in the collection and does not display IP address in output HTML report for Ethernet Switches.
LASSO-353: Lasso does not parse “Hard Zone” information for FC switches. LASSO-355: Lasso does not display VLAN and Port information for Ethernet switches. LASSO-356: Lasso fails to launch when User configuration files, XML and DAT, are not available in the User Profile directory. LASSO-357: Lasso Parsing is inconsistent for M1000e Chassis.
LASSO-385: Lasso is not validating for Normal user in ESX and ESXi hosts. LASSO-386: New switch type "Brocade Ethernet" should be added in Lasso to support B8000 fails in CLI mode. LASSO-387: For the CNA port 1/1, the Ethernet information is not shown in HTML report.
