Prerequisites for monitoring EMC VNXe

OpStor uses command line utility (uemcli.exe) available as part of Unisphere suite of EMC VNXe

• uemcli should be installed in the server in which OpStor is installed.
• Include the directory containing uemcli.exe in the PATH system environment variable by going into My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environmental Variables
• Ensure that OpStor is restarted (shutdown & started) after including uemcli in the path. This is required for the latest path changes to take effect for OpStor
• Now open a command prompt to execute the uemcli command to check for the proper response from EMC VNXe
  • Command : uemcli -d <ip_address> -u <user_name> -p <password> /sys/general show (for systems with Unisphere CLI installed)
• Ensure that, OpStor installed machine is reachable from the storage system
