We have a Custom Reporting team that can develop custom collectors and reports (together, a SolutionPack) for an unsupported array. The feasibility of doing this is heavily dependent on the type of information you're looking for, and the availability of that information thru an appropriate interface (API, CLI, SMI, etc.). The cost for a custom implementation such as this is also dependent on how much information you're looking for. Note that in pretty much all cases, you will not be able to create end-to-end topology diagrams for the new array.
For details, you should reach out to the Custom Reporting team in Cork at Custom_Solutions@emc.com
Well, generally support for new arrays is delivered in our regular releases. The Product Mgmt team drives requirements into Engineering, which does the actual implementation. It is also possible to provide reporting on an unsupported platform as part of a PS engagement; support in this case would be via PS.
Could you explain the "It is also possible to provide reporting on an unsupported platform as part of a PS engagement; support in this case would be via PS." in detail, I didn't get it well, because my customer is interested in this, so I want to know more. Thanks again.
Thanks Dan, it is very useful information. I found in Internet some 3rd party certification companys which can certify the ViPR SRM, if they also can develop the SP for specified array, the EMC ViPR SRM will recognize that in official support matrix document? Thanks.
