Dell Data Protection Advisor 19.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Before starting the Discovery Wizard for Monitoring EMC File Storage

The EMC File Storage module gathers information from EMC File Storage through an XML API and directly from the EMC File Storage Control Station. You must create an administrator with specific privileges on the EMC File Storage:

1. Log in to the EMC File Storage Manager web browser interface as an administrator.
   You can also use the command line interface to create a Data Protection Advisor administrator.
2. Navigate to Security > Administrators.
3. Create a new administrator, with a username of Data Protection Advisor, for example.
4. Select Local Only Account and type and confirm a password for the administrator.
5. Select a Primary Group of at least opadmin level of privilege. Data Protection Advisor does not need greater privileges than those assigned by opadmin.
6. Enable the following client access options:

   • XML API v2 allowed

   • Control Station shell allowed

7. Click OK.
