EMC VSS Provider / EMC Solutions Enabler kit
Hi All,
We recently updated all our CX3-80 systems to FLARE 26 without any problems
I am now looking for 2 things, which I hope you guys know where to find:
1) Apparently the old VSS provider doesn't work anymore. I am looking for a download location of the EMC VSS Provider
2) According to the text below my post, I also need something called an EMC Solutions Enabler Kit. What is it and where can I find it?
The two products were mentioned in this PDF I stumbled upon:
http://www.emc.com/microsites/clariion-support/pdf/300-002-038.pdf
Hope you can help with this!
Thanks in advance!

About the CLARiiON VSS Provider
The CLARiiON VSS Provider allows an application to access SnapView
functionality on CLARiiON storage systems by using the VSS
framework and other APIs introduced in Microsoft Windows Server
2003.
As of release 6.26, the CLARiiON VSS Provider is no longer supported
with the Admsnap Utility. The substitute for this technology is the
EMC VSS Provider.
The EMC VSS Provider requires that you install the CLARAPI application, which is available as part of the EMC Solutions Enabler kit. You can download both the EMC VSS Provider and the EMC Solutions Enabler kit from the Powerlink website. For more information, refer to the EMC Admsnap Release Notes, the EMC VSS Provider Release Notes, and the EMC Solutions Enabler Release Notes.

Wow, thanks for the fast answer!
I have no idea how I could have overlooked that: We've looked with 2 people for that.
Two questions though:
1) The VSS provider I downloaded (Version 4.0): Can I use that for Clariion systems???
2) The solution Enabler only seems to be for SYMMETRIX systems. Is there a specific solutions enabler for CLARIION?
Thanks again!

page 10 of release notes:
Home > Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Software ~ T-Z ~ Documentation > VSS Provider > Release Notes
I far as i know Solutions enabler is only for managing Symmetrix/DMX ...i am not sure why you would need it in Clariion world. Ohh ..i see what you are talking about ..page 6. I guess you do need SE 6.5 to get those CLARAPIs installed.

Strange indeed:
When I install the VSS thingy, I get (Whether I like it or not...) a lot of SYMMETRIX stuff installed
I guess the VSS tools comes with a Solution Enabler Kit as well
I have no idea what to do with it to be honest
What does the a Solution Enabler Kit provide on a Symmetrix? I actually just found a 'EMC Solution Enabler v6.0' box in my collection of stuff that came with the Clariions (Shrinkwrapped still ) I'm leafing throught the documentation, but it only refers to Symmetrix's it seems

Still not sure what it does, but you sure as hell got me on the correct path
I will have to dive into the documentation that came with the nice & shiney shrinkwrapped box
