Unisphere: Pre-login startup services failed. There is no carousel data defined for this platform.

We have a VNXe3300 and have previously accessed it through Web Browser but now this is all broken.

Have installed VNX launcher and Unisphere interface starts but gets to 74% with this error:

There was a problem starting Unisphere.

Pre-login startup services failed.

There is no carousel data defined for this platform.

No idea what this error means?  Has anyone seen this before and what is teh fix?

Thnaks in advance for any input, suggestions on this issue.

Hello CCY admin,

Here is what the link states.

Unisphere Client is not working (Java issue)

Audience Level: Customer

Article Content


Symptoms

Java clients version updated to 1.6.45 (or above).



Unable to manage VNX array using Unisphere Client.

Unable to launch "Unisphere Client".

Java errors like "java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException" noticed.

Cause

Java versions 1.6.45 and above has restrictions launching applet via browsers.

Launching of JVM Applet for Unisphere client from browser throws sandbox violation errors like Exceptions.

Oracle bug ID # 9007738 was raised in the Oracle forums.

Resolution

Workaround #1:
  • Use Java JRE prior to 1.6.45.
  • Tested with Java 1.6.37 (32 bit Java Runtime Edition) on a Windows 7 System and it worked correctly.
  • Uninstall other JREs if possible. If not, disable other JREs via "Control Panel -> Java ->  View -> Uncheck" except for JRE 1.6.37.
  • Launching the Unisphere shortcut from desktop should work after this.
Workaround #2:

If the user does not have permission to uninstall / reinstall JRE 1.6.37, they can launch  run.bat batch file from the "Unisphere client" install path.

Usually it will be installed on the following paths (but it is possible to install any custom location too):
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\EMC\Unisphere VNX Client   (Windows 64 bit)
  • C:\Program Files\EMC\Unisphere VNX Client             (Windows 32 bit)
If the Java bin directory is not defined in the Environment Variable "Path", it need to be appended via "Control Panel -> System Properties -> Advanced"

Append PATH value to something like :

;c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin

After this has been saved, running the batch file " run.bat" should launch the Unisphere client successfully on 1.6.45 or above (tested with 1.7.45 as well).
