dors it mean control station cannot be used to install enablers? also how can i install Snapview since i do not have the CD do i need to get from my vendor if i already have the licence?

You need to get the enabler from the Vendor if you know you have already purchased the license. However, if not you will need to purchase the same. Once, you have the .ena file follow below:

- Download & Install the Unisphere Service Manager (Check Vipin's response for the link)

- Follow the Software Installation Procedure as Vipin Correctly mentioned via Software > Install Software Path!

Control Station is not impacted for enabler installation. You are installing it on SP's.

Nope.

To explain it in a gist.. What is enablers? Softwares installed on block storage to which helps to run the storage system (FLARE), layered applications etc.

Where do you think one should install Softwares helping Block level on the block or file level?! Block right?

How do we do that? EMC has a seperate tool which helps to install EMC Softwares on EMC Products i.e. USM.

You can not do it from File Level or NAS to perform that activity. For Eg. Log in to Putty via CS and try to install etc.

Thanks for the info does it mean control station cannot be used to install enablers such as SANcopy etc?

Enablers can also be installed by cli

Enablers can be installed from Control stations

Please reference the naviseccli guide http://support.emc.com/docu41553_VNX-Command-Line-Interface-Reference-for-Block.pdf?language=en_US see Page 220

An enabler is as such a license file which "enables" an already installed feature on the SP's

Enablers end in .ena and can be installed via NDU from either CLI/USM

thks for the help

Hi,

I am new in this forum.I would like to know how would I order for the enabler file for Snapview. (Snapview.ena) for EMC VNX 5400 series storage.

Thank you in advance.

Just talk to your EMC or partner sales where you bought the VNX

It might already be included in the Software Suite you bought and just has to be installed.

Or if you need it temporariy for migration you may be able to get it for free for a limited time period
