Prerequisites for monitoring EMC VNX(Block)
OpStor uses command line utility (NaviCLI.exe/NaviSecCLI.exe) available as part of NaviSphere suite of EMC VNX(Block)
- NaviCLI/NaviSecCLI should be installed in the server in which OpStor is installed.
- Include the directory containing NaviCLI.exe/NaviSecCLI.exe in the PATH system environment variable. (This is normally C:\Program Files\EMC\Navisphere CLI\ ) by going into My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environmental Variables
- Ensure that OpStor is restarted (shutdown & started) after including NaviCLI/NaviSecCLI in the path. This is required for the latest path changes to take effect for OpStor
- Now open a command prompt to execute the navicli command to check for the proper response from EMC VNX(Block)
- Command : navicli -h <array name> getall (for systems with NaviCLI installed)
- Command : naviseccli -h <array name> -scope 0 -user <storage system username> -password <storage system password> getall (for systems with NaviSecCLI installed)
- Command: naviseccli -h <array name> -scope 0 -user <storage system username> -password <storage system password> storagepool -list (for systems with NaviSecCLI installed)
- Command: naviseccli -h <array name> -scope 0 -user <storage system username> -password <storage system password> lun -list (for systems with NaviSecCLI installed)
- Ensure that, OpStor Installed machine is reachable from the Storage system

- Choose the Device Type as 'RAID'
- Choose the Vendor as 'EMC'
- Choose the Model as 'VNX-BLOCK'
- Provide the NaviSecCLI Username and Password
- Change the Timeout if needed
- Click on Add Device
- Repeat the above procedure to add the second array IP in case of dual Storage Processors
