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!

Fred




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.

That works, but is seems no config can be done. At least, not as far as I discovered so far.

Time for a manual ;)


I can't get it to work :( It seems (can anyone confirm ?) that I need FC access to the Clariion, just like you'd need a gatekeeper for a Symm. And that why I think it doesn't work from my notebook.

I added security as you mentioned, then:
symcfg list --> No devices were found
symcfg -clariion list --> No objects of the selected type were found
symcfg list -clariion --> No objects of the selected type were found
symcfg list -clariion --> No objects of the selected type were found
symcfg list -clariion -h --> Where -h means help of course... my mistake

i don't even get any usable output at all. :(
