Software Requirements
Windows Systems:
o
For Windows 2008 (R2), it is recommended to use administrator account during report collection. If not, do
one of the following:
-
Edit the registry on the remote host using the Windows 2008 Configuration registry script
provided in the help file.
-
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system\key,
add DWORD value 'LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy' and set the value data to 1 and reboot the
system.
o
Enable "admin$" and "c$" share to run remote commands.
o
Make sure that adequate disk space is available to temporarily store all event logs and other system data.
o
The program xCmd.exe, a program embedded in Lasso, may be detected as a threat by McAfee or AVG
installed on the remote Windows host. To prevent this, add xCmd.exe to the trusted programs (for McAfee) or
the PUP exception list (for AVG.)
UNIX systems:
o
For more information on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and IBM AIX systems, see the readme file available at
ftp://ftp.emc.com/pub/emcgrab/Unix.
o
For more information on ESX and ESXi, see the readme file available at
ftp://ftp.emc.com/pub/emcgrab/ESX/.
NOTE
: Make sure that SSH is installed and configured. Credentials for normal user is required to establish SSH
session, and root password is required to run commands as root.
NOTE
: Make sure adequate disk space is available to store a copy of all logs and system data that is collected.
Fibre Channel Switches:
Enable Telnet on all M6220 Ethernet switches.
Command line JRE Version 1.6 or later.
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.
NOTE
: This timeout mechanism is applicable to all the devices. For collection to be successful, change or update
the corresponding device properties file.
SANsurfer CLI (FC) must be installed on the remote Windows, Linux, and VMware Host to gather FC HBA
information.
SANsurfer CLI (iSCSI) must be installed on the remote Windows, Linux, and VMware hosts to gather iSCSI HBA
