Installing the Expansion Pack Using Navisphere Express

Each storage system in the cluster is centrally managed by one host system (also called a management station) running EMC Navisphere Express—a centralized storage management application used to configure Dell/EMC storage systems.

If you have an expansion pack option for the storage system and it has not been installed, install it now by following the steps listed below:

1From the management host, open an Internet browser.

2Enter the IP address of an SP in the storage system.

3Log in to Navisphere Express with the username and password that you specified during the storage system initialization.

4In the Navisphere Express navigation pane under System, click Software.

5In the System Software screen, click Upgrade Software.

6Insert the expansion pack media into the CD/DVD drive on the host from which you are running Navisphere Express.

7Browse for the expansion tier enabler software file (.ena file), and click

Upgrade.

You can use Navisphere Express to perform tasks such as creating disk pools, binding the virtual disks, and downloading the firmware. Additionally, you can use Snapshot Management to capture point-in-time images of a virtual disk for backups or testing without affecting the contents of the source virtual disk. You can also use the SAN Copy™ feature in Navisphere Express to move data from the virtual disks on one storage system to the virtual disks on another storage system without using the host CPU cycles.
