#EMC WINDOWS WINDOWS#
You can also use the firewall control panel, or the equivalent PowerShell cmdlet if the provider was installed on a Windows Server 2012 system. These command lines must be run from an administrative account and will work for Windows Server 2008 R2. I am assuming the firewall is in its default state (blocks incoming/allows outgoing traffic). You can also limit which systems can manage through the provdier by limiting the firewall to passing only traffic from those IP addresses. The general rules below can be made stricter by eliminating HTTP support (port 5988) and by specifying the specific CIM Server application (ECOM) for ports 5988-5989, and SLP server (SLPD.exe) for port 427 as the process for the rules. If the provider runs on a Windows Server, you will need to configure the firewall to allow SMI-S and SLP traffic. Be aware that installing multiple providers may not be supported or may require additional configuration and non-standard port numbers.
#EMC WINDOWS INSTALL#
It may be possible to install it on the same system once vendors support the Windows Server 2012 platform. We assume throughout this document that the provider is running on a different system than the Storage Service. Use all the defaults and make sure you only select the “Array provider” as Windows does not use the Host providers and installing it may create conflicts with other software. Installation is straightforward, just run the installer you downloaded as an administrative user. Make sure you select the latest 32-bit or 64-bit version, and Windows or Linux version, as appropriate. There are provider versions available for Windows and Linux, and either can be used. (requires registration) search for “SMI-S Provider” once you log in.
#EMC WINDOWS DOWNLOAD#
The EMC SMI-S provider is a part of the “Solutions Enabler with SMI” package which you can download from Since vendors have not yet certified their SMI-S Providers to run on Windows Server 2012, this blog will discuss getting the EMC Provider running on Win2k8R2. For EMC, the provider being discussed is a proxy provider so it needs to be installed on a running system with a supported version of Windows or Linux installed. Providers are either standalone server applications (known as proxy providers) or embedded in the array firmware.
Note that an SMI-S provider is assumed to be running somewhere other than the Windows Standards-Based Storage Management Service (I’ll call it Storage Service for short). Please consult the EMC documentation for the appropriate array firmware levels and also for what platform the provider can be installed on. This information applies for use with either the Windows Server 2012 (or R2) Windows Standards-Based Storage Management Service or System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 (or R2) and the provider supports EMC Symmetrix VMAX, Clariion CX4 and VNX arrays.
Make sure you download the latest version (currently 4.6). This information should help you get started using the EMC provider which can be downloaded from Powerlink (you will need an account). UPDATE: Information on configuring certificates for use with indications has been added at the bottom of this blog.Īll providers have slightly different installation procedures and characteristics.
