Symptoms

The NavisecCLI was not installed in the default path. Updating the NavisecCLI path in the SolutionPack configuration resolved the issue.

VNX array discovery test completes with errors.

The expanded test result displays an error on line 53, as shown below:

kA2f1000000K723CAC_3_0

Cause

NavisecCLI was installed in a different location which was causing the issue.

After saving the configuration (despite the test result), you should see an error similar to the following in the collecting logs:

SEVERE     -- [2018-03-25 18:21:40 EDT] -- LocalCommandRetriever::execute(): Error while executing primary command @{command}
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program Files (x86)\EMC\Navisphere CLI\NaviSECCli.exe" (in directory "D:\Program Files\APG\Collecting\Stream-Collector\emc-vnx\."): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Resolution

  1. Navigate to Centralized Management >> SolutionPacks >> EMC Unity/VNX/VNXe
  2. Edit (pencil icon) the Data collection component. The option to mention the NavisecCLI path is found here.
  3. Add the location of NavisecCLI and reconfigure the SolutionPack.
  4. Rediscover the array and it should complete successfully.
