Device Setup - Switches and Arrays
I am attempting to setup vFoglight Storage for the first time. I have successfully added the VCs but am unable to configure the switches or arrays.
1. Cisco switch receive an error when validating.
Error 1: Connection Refused: the host has refused a socket connection on the specified port: Usually indicates one of the following: user specified the wrong port, the application that is supposed to be listening on the port is not listening, the port is disabled (i.e. by a firewall);
I am specifying port 23. I can telnet to the switch from the same server using the supplied credentials.
2. Clariion CX4-480 receive an error when validating.
error: "Connection Failure: Socket connection to host on specified port failed"
NaviSecCLI is installed and I am able to successfully execute the following command from command prompt C:\>NaviSECCli.exe -user -password -scope 0 -address get config
Thank you.

1. On the Cisco switch, do you have the cimserver enabled? The cimserver uses port 5988 / 5989 by default for its communication. There is a link to help with setting this up in the help section of Data Collection in vFoglight Storage.
2) On the server with NaviSecCLI installed, is it the same server that vFoglight Storage is on? What OS is on it ? Is the firewall open for the correct port(443 by default)? Does the account have admin permissions on the box?

Did this help with your installation?
One more thing about the NaviSecCLI connection, if it is a domain account you are using to connect ot he Navi management workstation, you need to put the domain in with your user ID ( ie yourdomain\userID ). If it is standalone, you need to specify the server (ie IPAddress\userID or servername\userID). If you change the user ID in the accounts section you will need to reenter the password for that user.
Let me know if this helps.

Mike, Thank you for your response the CIM server was not active on the switch. Our network group has enabled it and I was able to add it to vFoglight Storage.
Regarding NaviSecCLI.
1. NaviSecCLI is installed on the same server as vFoglight Storage.
2. vFoglight Storage and NaviSecCLI are running on the same box which is a Server 2003 Standard 64bit SP2.
3. The firewall is open on 443 and 80.
4. The account I am using is the defualt admin account to log into Navisphere. The account I am logged into on the server is a domain admin.DELL-Mike Mck

On the Cisco Switch, do you have the CIM server enabled?
----------------------
config t
no cimserver
cimserver enable
exit
show cimserver (for verification)
------------------------
You can also ping / telnet to the port to be sure you can reach it and it is responding.

The cimserver on the cisco switches usually crashes after a couple of minutes. We have a mds9221i and have to keep reenabling the cimserver to continue monitoring. Is there any plan to retrieve information from cisco switches using a different method such as snmp?DELL-Mike Mck

We have seen problems running the Navi client on the same box as the vFoglight Storage product. Is it possible you can run it on a different box?

On the Navi manager, please try executing this from a command prompt:
NaviSECCli.exe -user -password -scope 0 -address getconfig
The user name and password should be an account with global permissions.
The Ip address is the IP address of your Clariion.
