Unisphere Client problems and Java
I have been plagued with trying to run the Unishpere VNX Client ever since Java 7 has come out. We are now up to the latest Java 7.45
and I have tried the last three versions of the Windows Unisphere Client. I just installed the 1.3.0 version of the client and guess what, it still doesnt work. I do not have the time & patience to call it in & deal with a (lets try this or that from 1st level support) so I figure i will at least drop the problem out here so that maybe when it becasue a top hit on the web, EMC will take note and fix it.
This happens no matter the browser. It launches, i say (accept or Run or Allow ) to the Java Popup and it errors. When I click on the details of the error I get the below.
ava Plug-in 10.45.2.18
Using JRE version 1.7.0_45-b18 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

ANY HELP would be appreciated. And "no" i dont want to just go to the IP of the control station because that never got updated in all the FLARE updates. The client has newer better controls.
I am using a CX4 - NS480 EMC system. Client is Windows 7 64bit. SP1

Updated to 8.31 and i see my Unisphere

Hope this helps to get access without downgrading Java.
I will try and see if thee are any articles that talks about the same, if not we will get an article up for this so it might help anyone who faces the same issue.

Then EMC should not use a third party application.

Here we go again, more problems with Java/ Unisphere! funny thing is, i can log into our VNX2 but not our old VNX.
Sooooooooooooooo frustrating!

It may be redundant, but make sure that the VNX1 is at the latest release (32.218) - each release has changes that hopefully helps with java issues. For my daily work I've decided to stay on 1.7.51 - it works for both VNX1 and VNX2 and the older CX arrays in our lab (with some issues with Microsoft Lync chat that puts a certificate on my PC that interferes with going to the setup page - I have to cancal each popup when I try to access the setup page).

Unable to install the client on a Windows 7 x64 machine. 'Unable to create file'. What to do next EMC? Our environment frowns on earlier versions of Java.

Need more information - which client are you referring to - Unisphere Client? Java? Which version are you attempting to install? What is the version of Flare running on your array?

Yes - the Client - but what "version" of JAVA and what version on Client? Different releases have different requirements and the Java version used is also depend on the Client version.
The latest Unisphere Client (33.155) requires either:
Oracle Standard Edition 1.7 up to Update 75
Oracle Standard Edition 1.8 up to Update 25
The 32-bit JRE is required, even on 64 bit systems.

Thank you Wojciechm
Well that did the trick for me.
I was on recommended Java installed (Version 8 Update 31) before I tried accessing the Unisphere (its been almost 2 years since I logged in). Whenever I tried accessing the GUI i was thrown the same error that Joey got.
I downgraded the Java to 7.51, still to find the same problem.
wojciechm s tip seems to be helpful as I am able to access the GUI without any Java error (however it took a lot of while for me to log in)
I added the IP in exception sites under security.
Pasting the screenshot below.
Now after successfully launching the Unisphere I ll try updating my Java back to 8.31 and will see how it responds.
I will post if it works for me or not.
