NaviCli-Linux: "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'UtilityException'"
For some reason, I am not allowed to post in the "Linux" forum, so I'm posting this here.
I made the mistake of upgrading NaviCLI-Linux-32-x86 to 7.31.0.3.66-1 (up from 7.30), and now naviseccli fails with
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'UtilityException'
Aborted
when connecting to my brand new VNX 5300. At first I thought, "what a terribly unhelpful error message ..." but then I figured, just like when (trying to) look up information on PowerLink, I might not have been deemed worthy of knowing what's going on.
Incidentally, usually when I install upgrades from other software, there's a ChangeLog of sorts, or even a few README or docs included in the RPM, but apparently we, mere sysadmins, are not supposed to know what's going on in EMC land.
So any ideas? How to debug this? Is the source code for this utility available? Ah ah just kidding, it's not April 1st just yet, there's way too much valuable intellectual property in that marvelously engineered piece of software (that can't even output well-formed XML with the advertised option) for EMC to waste away, even though it could help customers!
Anyway, my apologies for my irritation, I should count myself lucky, at least naviseccli did not kernel panic my workstation like PowerPath did on my server yesterday.

1. If You are using a DNS name, insure the DNS name is associated with SP IP address.
2. In the command line you must use the SP A / SP B iP address and not the control station address (or any other address
3. If on file side using putty it will be in the NAS/Sbin : ./Nas/Sbin/naviseccli -h getagent.
4. For SP IP address see /etc/hosts or Nas/etc/hosts
more than likely this is the reason you are getting the
naviseccli terminate called after throwing an instance of 'UtilityException'
Aborted

Hi Cal,
I m totally new to EMC Storage. We are gonna get a new VNX 5300 to our company. Meanwhile we are practicing using VNX simulator. When i try to run any cli commands in Simulator, i m getting the same error mentioned above. "Terminate called aftr throwing an instance of 'Utility Exception' Aborted.
What i did is, i just intalled the simulator and then configured phsical interface. I m not sure whether any SP is running or not, I have checked the /etc/hosts and /nas/etc/hosts but it has only the DART ip address. Can you please help me in successfully running a cli command.
Thanks in Advance.

i would not expect much of block storage management from that simulator, it's geared towards file only.

I had same issue because I was using Control Station IP address. Use SP A/B address like Cal said.I am running 7.31.30.0.90 version on Solaris x86 host so nothing to do with version.
