How do I find out what Servers ECC is supported on?
We are going to buy a new Server to put ECC 6.1 on. I was thinking I could go to th E-Lab Navigator and put in EMC Control Center under Server > Software and it would tell me the platforms that it would run on. But ECC doesn't seem to appear in E-Lab Navigator. Am I missing something?
How do I find out what Servers are supported, memories, storage, CPU, etc.?

The ControlCenter Support Matrix lists the operating systems that ControlCenter is supported to run on.
As for the resource configuration required for a ControlCenter server, refer to the ControlCenter Performance & Scalability Guidelines document. The number of servers required depends on the size of your storage environment. In general, a server must have a minimum SPEC.org rating of 61 and at least two physical multi-core CPUs.
Both of these documents are available for download from Powerlink.
My suggestion is that you work with your EMC account team (specifically, the Technology Consultant) and have them assist with determining the optimal server configuration for your environment.

ControlCenter 6.1 has beenn rebranded under the Ionix family name. So, all documentation for ControlCenter 6.1 is available at the following path on Powerlink:
Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Software ~ E-I ~ Documentation > Ionix Family > Ionix for Storage Resource Management > Ionix ControlCenter > 6.1.x & Service Packs
From that page, download and install the 'Ionix ControlCenter 6.1 Documentation Library Updater'. This utility will provide you with all the current ControlCenter documentation.

So, I found the ECC manuals under "Ionix" (That was confusing!) and I read the ECC Support Matrix, which says, pretty much that only W2K and W2K3 versions (32- and 64-bit). W2K8 is ONLY supported for some Agents. Not Infrastructure. Then if you want to know how much RAM and disk space you need, you have to go to the ECC Performance and Scalability Guidelines manual (75 pages) and go through a bunch of tables there. It's a lot of work!
Thanks for your help!
