Instructions

This KB is intended to walk through the steps necessary to configure and provision ESRS Integrated on a Unity array using CLI.

Step 1: Set Contact Information
The following command is used to show and set the contact information.

uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/info show
uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/info set -contactFirstName <First> -contactLastName <Last> -contactEmail <Email> -contactPhone <Phone#>

Step 2: Verify the EMC Online Support Account.
The following commands are used to show and set the EMC Online Support Account that is used to register the Unity array.

uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/support/account show
uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/support/account set -user <EMC Online Support account> -passwdSecure <pass>

Step 3: Check EULA.
The following commands are used to show and accept the EULA License.

uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/support/esrsi show
uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/support/esrsi set -acceptEula yes   (***If not already accepted***)

Step 4: Run the networkCheck for ESRS.

uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/support/esrsi checkNetwork

Step 5: request AccessCode
The following command is used to request an AccessCode from support.emc.com. This AccessCode is sent to the EMC Online Support Account Email specified in Step 2.

uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/support/esrsi requestAccessCode

Step 6: View the Site Information.
The following command is used to view and verify one or more sites that your account has access to.

uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/support/esrsi/site show -accessCode <code> -detail

Step 7: Enable ESRS on SiteId.
The following command is the last step in which you can enable ESRS for the Array using the Site ID from Step 6. If multiple Sites are returned in Step 6, ensure that the correct site is specified.

uemcli -u local/admin -securepassword /sys/support/esrsi set -enable yes -siteId <siteid>
