Verifying connectivity from client to array
NetBackup communicates with the array by means of the EMC Navisphere Secure CLI. To verify that the CLI is installed and that NetBackup can communicate with the EMC CLARiiON array, enter the following command on each NetBackup client. Note that if a Navisphere security file has been created, the user name, password, and scope do not have to be supplied with the command.
To verify connectivity from client to array
- Enter the following:
Sample output from this command:
Agent Rev: 6.19.1 (2.6) Name: K10 Desc: Node: A-APM041147024 Physical Node: K10 Signature: 1218092 Peer Signature: 1099522 Revision: 2.19.500.5.027 SCSI Id: 0 Model: CX500 Model Type: Rackmount Prom Rev: 3.60.00 SP Memory: 2048 Serial No: APM041147024 SP Identifier: A Cabinet: DPE2
If the command fails, you must address the problem before you do any further array configuration.
This problem could be due to the following:
The Navisphere Secure CLI or other array interface is not installed.
The installed Navisphere Secure CLI is not a supported version.
The array credentials are invalid.
Note:
On AIX or some UNIX host the Snapshot creation can fail for EMC_CLARiiON array, if the Navisphere Secure CLI location entries are incorrect in the /usr/openv/lib/vxfi/configfiles/emcclariionfi.conf file.
For example, on the AIX host naviseccli is found at the following location /usr/lpp/NAVICLI/naviseccli. Verify the correct naviseccli path and add the following file path and name entries to the /usr/openv/lib/vxfi/configfiles/emcclariionfi.conf file.
FILEPATH_NAVISEC_EXE"="filepath"
FILENAME_NAVISEC_EXE"="filename"
