Environment and system requirements
EMC Unisphere for VMAX V1.1 Release Notes 9
Environment and system requirements
Refer to the Unisphere for VMAX Installation Guide for environment and systemrequirements.
Solutions Enabler
Solutions Enabler V7.4 64-bit is the minimum supported version, in local orclient/server mode. In client/server mode, the Solutions Enabler version running
on the server must be greater than or equal to the version running on the client. Inaddition, the storsrvd daemon must be running on the server.
EMC ControlCenter
Unisphere cannot be installed on the same host as EMC ControlCenter agents because Unisphere requires a 64-bit version of Solutions Enabler andControlCenter agents require a 32-bit version of Solutions Enabler.
Symmetrix Management Console
Unisphere cannot be installed on the same host as SMC because Unisphere for
VMAX and SMC / SPA are not qualified to run on the same machine together due
to system resource requirements. However, they can be can run on separate
virtual machines on the same server, provided that each VM meets the system
and memory requirements.
Symmetrix Enginuity
Unisphere supports Symmetrix VMAX 10K (VMAXe) and VMAX 20K (VMAXSeries systems running Enginuity 5874 or higher and Symmetrix VMAX 40KSeries systems running Enginuity 5876 or higher.

Virtual Applianceupgrade
N 100.03 Note the following restrictions before upgrading to the Unispherefor VMAX Virtual Appliance:
• Direct upgrade of the SPA Virtual Appliance is only supportedfrom V7.3.3. To upgrade from an earlier version of the virtualappliance, upgrade to V7.3.3 first, and then to the Unispherefor VMAX V1.1 Virtual Appliance.
• When upgrading the SMC V7.3.3 Virtual Appliance to the
Unisphere for VMAX V1.1 Virtual Appliance from a zip file, youmust use the same hostname and IP address; otherwise, thepersistent data will not transfer with the upgrade.

the DATA volumes before failing to add them to the pool, leavingthe new volumes behind. As a result, you can either delete theDATA volumes or assign them to another pool.
Alerts N 200.06 The alert numbers reported in theHome
section
only includeArray and Performance alerts; Systems alerts (e.g., not enoughgatekeepers, an aborted connection to the SYMAPI server, etc.)are not included. System alerts are, however, reported in the Alertstatus bar (bottom, left) and visible in each system’s Alert view.

Technical notes
EMC Unisphere for VMAX V1.1 Release Notes 13
Technical notes
This section provides technical notes for advanced configuration of Unisphere forVMAX V1.1.
SYMAPI server
If you want to change which SYMAPI server that Unisphere is pointing to, youmust uninstall Unisphere, and then reinstall it.
During the install, you will supply the new SYMAPI host name and network portnumber. The EMC Unisphere for VMAX Installation Guide provides moreinformation on these requirements.
Advanced configuration settings
Unisphere provides a dialog box for setting Symmetrix preferences, including
debug settings. The debug settings are restricted to Unisphere administrators.
Use the debug settings only at the direction of EMC Customer Service.
Local replication management
Unisphere manages replication operations (TimeFinder Family) through devicegroups. If the SMAS server does not have visibility to the device groups used tomanage replication, then you will not be able to perform any replication actions inUnisphere. Similarly, replication sessions managed exclusively by device filescannot be managed by Unisphere.
Resetting CST system fingerprint
Solutions Enabler includes a CLI utility for synchronizing the host systemfingerprint. To use this utility:
1. Stop the SMAS service.
2. Obtain the hostname by either searching for the CST_HOSTNAME in theSMAS install log (the most accurate method) or running the hostname command.
3. Change directory location to:install_location\jboss\server\default-em\bin

Technical notes
4. Enter the following command:
cstadmin.exe reset-lockbox -cstdir=..\data\cst
5. Enter the lockbox passphrase:
host_name @Smas-1
Note: If the cstadmin command fails, verify that you are pointing to the followinglibraries:Linux: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Windows: set PATH=..\lib;%PATH%;
6. Start the SMAS service.
Configuring idle user timeout
By default, the client's browser will initiate an automatic logout after 480 minutes (8
hours). To change this value, set the parameter value of the
sageIdleUserTimeoutInMinutes context parameter (found insmc.ear/smc.war/WEB INF/web.xml file
) to any positive integer and reboot the server.
Alerts
By default, Unisphere status alerts are disabled. For instructions on enabling them,
see Managing alert policies in the Unisphere help.
Virtual Appliance Technical notesThe following technical notes are specific to the Virtual Appliance.
Gatekeeper volumes
Virtual Appliance Configuration Manager will not allow more than 14 gatekeepervolumes to be added to the Virtual Appliance. Attempting to add more than 14gatekeepers returns an error message.
Host ESX Server configuration
Host ESX Server authentication is validated each time you select the GatekeeperConfig tab. If the authentication fails, the host ESX Server login credentials andhostname information will be removed from the virtual appliance records andmust be added again.

Technical notes
EMC Unisphere for VMAX V1.1 Release Notes 15
Unisphere daemon service
When you shutdown the SMC and SPA daemon service from the ConfigurationManager, you will be prompted to terminate the browser session, and the browsersession ends. You must then start a new web session after a few minutes.
Flash Player version
Adobe Flash Player version 10.2.0 or higher is required for running theConfiguration Manager on a web browser.
Server hostname requirementFor the virtual appliance to resolve a hostname, only use the fully qualifiedhostname (as entered in DNS server) while configuring nethosts and ESX Servers(for adding gatekeeper volumes).
SSL certificate generation
The virtual appliance generates an SSL certificate (storsrvd - client/server setup)during the initial boot after the IP address is provided, and during every IPchange or reboot.
Changing the IP address
Stop all daemons with the Virtual Appliance Configuration Manager beforechanging the IP address of the appliance.
SYMCLI commands executed/submitted as rootWhen using the Virtual Appliance Configuration Manager with the seconfigaccount, SYMCLI commands are executed/submitted as root.
Least privileged permission requirements
Consult the appropriate VMware documentation for guidance on the leastprivileged permissions required to deploy a virtual appliance.
