Collecting Storage Device Information From Windows OS For EMC SAN

1. Copy the appropriate EMCReport.exe file from the <LassoInstallDir>\bin\ to the target Windows system. The default

Lasso installation directory is %Systemdrive%\Program Files\Dell\Lasso\.

NOTE: For 32–bit and 64–bit operating systems use Emcrpts_x86_v36.exe.

2. Log in as an administrator to the target Windows system.

3. Run the .exe file.

The output .zip file is generated in %SystemRoot%\EMCReports\Collection\zip\ directory.

Collecting Storage Device Information From Windows OS For EqualLogic SAN

1. Log in as administrator to the target Windows system.

NOTE: For 32–bit and 64–bit operating systems use DellCollector.exe. Before running Dellcollector.exe, make

sure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running.

2. Copy the ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll and DellCollector.exe files from the <LassoInstallDir>\bin\ folder to the target

Windows system. The files can be found in the Lasso installation directory in the \Dell\Lasso\Bin\ location.

3. Run the .exe file.

The output .zip file is generated in <SystemRoot>\DellCollector\Collection\zip\ directory.

Collecting Storage Device Information For UNIX OS

1. Using any secure ftp client (example: scp), copy the appropriate EMCGrab from the <LassoInstallDir>\Bin directory

to the target UNIX system. By default, the Lasso installation directory is <SystemDrive>\Dell\Lasso\Bin\.

2. Log in to the target UNIX system using root privilege through SSH.

NOTE: Use dual mode authentication if SSH is not enabled for root.

3. Untar the script: tar xvf emcgrab*.tar

4. Run EMCGrab: /emcgrab.sh -autoexec

5. Accept the license agreement.

The output file is generated in /tmp/emcgrab/outputs/ directory and you can copy it to the local system using the

secure ftp client.

NOTE: When the collection operation of host times out, go to the UnixHC.properties file in the installation

directory and change or increase the time out value. Example: hc.timeout.value = 3600000 which

is 1800000 by default.
