EMC M&R SolutionPacks

Depending on your deployment, you may need to install and configure one or more of the following SolutionPacks:

• SolutionPack for Brocade FC Switch—Required, if you want Server Manager to discover and monitor Brocade FibreChannel switch cables and FibreChannel switch ports, and to receive detailed SAN correlation for Brocade FibreChannel switches.

• SolutionPack for Cisco MDS/Nexus—Required, if you want Server Manager to discover and monitor Cisco FibreChannel switch cables and FibreChannel switch ports, and to receive detailed SAN correlation for Cisco MDS/Nexus switches.

• SolutionPack for EMC VMAX—Required, if you want Server Manager to discover and monitor storage VMAX disks, array groups, and ScsiLun, and to receive detailed array correlation for VMAX.

• SolutionPack for EMC VNX—Required, if you want Server Manager to discover and monitor storage VNX disks, array groups, and ScsiLun, and to receive detailed array correlation for VNX.

  The SolutionPacks for Brocade FC Switch, Cisco MDS/Nexus, EMC VMAX, and EMC VNX associate the physical components with the logical components. If you do not use these SolutionPacks in your deployment, Server Manager discovers and monitors the objects that the vCenter API discovers: The Host bus adapter (HBA), ScsiPath, ScsiLun, and VMware Datastore.

• SolutionPack for VMware Smarts—Required, if you use the EMC M&R UI to view Server Manager topology information, maps, and reports.

  You will need to configure Server Manager with EMC M&R credentials in order to discovery and monitor Storage Area Network (SAN) Management objects.

  You must install separate SolutionPack licenses before installing the SolutionPacks on your EMC M&R host.
