EDL to Clariion

you will need to figure out SP IP information. One thing to remember is that CX3 being used as backend for EDL does not have AccessLogix license, that means you will not be able to create multiple storage groups and connect different hosts, anything you connect to this array will see every single LUN.

Thanks....I think,I will be okay with assigning the whole storage to one SG for VMWARE server and use them on virtual machines.

I was looking for any method  by which i can use this Hardware afresh and re-initialize this as block? when i

Finding IP of this looks tough- Any other method to find the IP apart from mentioned above?

Or any other clue.....???

Thanks...will try and update..

try establishing PPP connection, need to have the appropriate serial cable.

Hi Dynamox,

Last time when i was not able to find the IP address, Now I am able to go to the Setup page.

The Problem was : I connected HSSDC Cable from SPA to LLC B and SPB to LLC A

I re-mounte all the enclosures and reconnected everything  and powered on.

I tried comminicating to the SP Directly and was able to login to SPA and B setup page(128.221.1.250/setup with mask 255.255.255.248), But even after applying several default User and password, I wasnt able to get through.

Is there any other default User/password to try apart from below.

User/passwords I tried are : emc/emc  , admin/password,  dladmin/password, clariion/clariion!, clariion1992/clariion1992, admin/emcemc, administrator/password, navispher/password

None of them worked.

When this did not happen I tried with PPP Connection as well with windows 7 using serial cabple (RJ Kind connector on SP then Serial to usb connector, the USB on the PC). While dialing through SP by adding COM Port as communication between computers, Connect tab was grayed and was not able to proceed untill I give any dialing number.....

Attached is for reference...

Also EMC Remote not Supported on Windows 7,

Need to try all these with XP machine now....

It is. Install sr_client.exe (EMC Remote exe) as an administrator. Once, installed Right Click and change the compatibility to Windows XP SP3/SP2.

..Thanks Ankit, This is very Helpful...  I always used to look for XP machine or download the Virtual PC for EMC Remote to work.

Thank you both for helping me out on this implementation.

Initially,

~ None of the user/password worked for me to login to 128.221.1.250/setup.

~ Logged in through EMC remote to the SP's, Tried creating "Users"  with new user/password with Administrator rights and tried to login again through setup page with new user account created.(Is this way, Anything possible? Just tried Didnt work).

~ Also Did "Ipconfig/All" on the SP through EMC Remote- I was able to see the previous IP used on the SP. Tried login through that IP, It was not accessible at all. (Is this way anything could be achieved??)

~ Connected through micro DB9 Serial cable, Tried to access "128.221.1.250/setup" , it was again asking for User/password which did not work.

~ then I tried "192.168.1.1/setup" which shows the setup page directly without asking credentials.

~  Quickly Destroyed security domain and reconfigured the clariion with new user accounts.

~ Successfully was able to Log in to the Navisphere manager now with the desired IPs. Ready to configure and provision.

~ But when I tried to create the "Storage Group" it returned with error and couldnt create. (As dynamox updated).

~ Checked the Acess Logix in the properties of the Array-Software tab- "Access Logix" was installed and active.

~ then at the same place in the "Access Control Tab", check mark the access logix.

~ After checking the Access Logix Tab, It grayed out and i wasnt able to uncheck it, even in Engineering mode. Probably it can be done again if required throgh SP Navicli commands.(Whts the command?)

~ Now i was able to create Storage groups.

~ Now It looks as if the CLARIION is separeted from EDL completely and working idependetly as an ONLY clariion Machine.

No Problem. Glad to know it will help you in future.

To Enable Access Logix:

navicli -h storagegroup enable

To Disable Access Logix:

navicli -h sc_off

remember without AccessLogix you will not be able to place any hosts into storage group.

AccessLogix is a option on the old CX arrays before EMC started to included it for free in the newer models. With the EDL, I'm not sure that you can get the standalone enabler. Without that you can't create storage groups - it's setup as a JBOD - all hosts connected can see all LUNs.
