Installing the Expansion Pack Using Navisphere Express
Each storage system in the cluster is centrally managed by one host system
(also called a management station) running EMC Navisphere Express—a
centralized storage management application used to configure Dell/EMC
storage systems.
If you have an expansion pack option for the storage system and it has not
been installed, install it now by following the steps listed below:
1
From the management host, open an Internet browser.
2
Enter the IP address of an SP in the storage system.
3
Log in to
Navisphere Express
with the username and password that you
specified during the storage system initialization.
4
In the
Navisphere Express
navigation pane under System, click
Software
.
5
In the
System Software
screen, click
Upgrade Software
.
6
Insert the expansion pack media into the CD/DVD drive on the host from
which you are running Navisphere Express.
7
Browse for the expansion tier enabler software file (.
ena
file), and click
Upgrade
.
You can use Navisphere Express to perform tasks such as creating disk pools,
binding the virtual disks, and downloading the firmware. Additionally, you
can use Snapshot Management to capture point-in-time images of a virtual
disk for backups or testing without affecting the contents of the source virtual
disk. You can also use the SAN Copy™ feature in Navisphere Express to move
data from the virtual disks on one storage system to the virtual disks on
another storage system without using the host CPU cycles.
