Configuring EMC SMI-S Provider

Installing EMC SMI-S Provider is a prerequisite to allow remote software to connect to the EMC Storage system.

You can either work directly on the EMC SMI-S Provider server or start a Remote Desktop Connection to it.

1.Open a Windows command prompt on the server where the EMC SMI-S Provider software is installed.

2.Change the directory to the location of the EMC SMI-S Provider installation. The default is:

C:\Program Files\EMC\ECIM\ECOM\bin

3.In the Windows command prompt, type C:\Program Files\EMC\ECIM\ECOM\bin> testsmiprovider

4.Accept all default settings when prompted.

5.Attach the storage system to the SMI-S Provider.

NOTE: To migrate both a VMAX storage system and an EMC CLARiiON or VNX storage system, follow both of the following steps.

a.For VMAX storage systems, any VMAX storage arrays connected to the SMI-S Provider server will be automatically detected, provided that:

SMI-S and VMAX have a Fibre Channel connection and are zoned.

The gatekeeper LUN is presented to the SMI-S server.

If the VMAX does not show up, run the disco command to rescan for arrays. Proceed to step 6, unless you intend to migrate volumes from an EMC CLARiiON or VNX storage system.

b.To attach an EMC CLARiiON or VNX storage system to SMI-S Provider, use the addsys command:

(localhost:5988) ? addsys

Add System {yn} [n]: y

ArrayType (1=Clar, 2=Symm) [1]:

One or more IP address or Hostname or Array ID
