Installing the NaviSecCLI Library in AccelOps
Changing NaviSecCLI Credentials
If you change the NaviSecCLI credentials on your EMC Clarion device, the certificates may also be changed and naviseccli may prompt you to accept new certificates. This should only happen the first time after a certificate change, however, AccelOps discovery and performance monitoring will fail. You will need to run NaviSecCLI manually on each Supervisor and Worker in your deployment and accept the certificate, and then rediscover your EMC Clarion device for performance monitoring to resume.
Configuration of your EMC Clarion storage device involves installing EMC’s NaviSecCLI library in your AccelOps virtual appliance, and then setting the access credentials that the appliance will use to communicate with your device.
- Log in to your AccelOps virtual appliance as root.
- Copy the file NaviCLI-Linux-64-x86-versionxyz.rpm to the AccelOps directory.
- Run rpm –Uvh NaviCLI-Linux-64-x86-versionxyz.rpm to install the rpm package.
- Change the user role to the admin su – admin and make sure that the user can run the command naviseccli -h -User <user> -Password <pwd> -Scope global getall -sp from the directory /opt/phoenix/bin.
- Make sure that the Navisphere Analyzer module is on.
If the module is off, performance metrics will not be available and discovery will fail. This log shows an example of the module being turned off.
