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 DellEMC storage systems.

If you have an expansion pack option for the storage system and it has not been installed, install it at this time:

1From the management host, open a web 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.

4Go to SystemNavisphere Express navigation pane and click Software.

5In the System Software window, click Upgrade Software.

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

7Browse the media 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.
