Discovering EMC Solutions Enabler

If you are using a nethost file, edit it to allow the management server to discover the Solutions

Enabler and the Symmetrix storage systems that it manages. See the EMC documentation for

details.
To discover Symmetrix storage systems, you must create and configure a VCM volume on the

storage system. The VCM database on the Solutions Enabler host must also be configured. For more

information, see the EMC Solutions Enabler Symmetrix CLI Command Reference.

IMPORTANT:

If error 214 is present in the discovery log and/or cimom.log during discovery,

this means the SymAPI server is not licensed for remote connections. You will have to acquire and

install the license before discovery can occur.

Required Licenses
If you want to use all of the features of the management server, such as provisioning, with an EMC

Symmetrix storage system, you must have licenses for the following products:

BASE

DeltaMark

SERVER

DevMasking

Config Manager

Mapping (SOLUTION_4)

Using Only One Subnet
To allow Solutions Enabler to respond correctly, limit the management server to a single subnet. If

your management server is on two or more subnets, discovering a storage array through Solutions

Enabler might not work. Limiting the management server to a single subnet allows Solutions Enabler

to respond correctly.

Excluding EMC Symmetrix Storage Systems from Discovery

When multiple EMC Symmetrix storage systems are managed through a single Solutions Enabler,

specific storage systems can be excluded from discovery by using system properties.
To exclude one or more Symmetrix storage systems from discovery, modify the
cimom.symmetrix.exclude

property. Set the property cimom.symmetrix.exclude to a

comma-separated list of serial numbers of the storage systems you want excluded, as shown in the

following example:

cimom.symmetrix.exclude=000183500570,000183610580

The management server excludes the storage systems with the following serial numbers:

000183500570 and 000183610580.
