Hello.  If you have an account with EMC Powerlink, you can download the appropriate operating system version.

Once logged into Powerlink, go to:

Home > Support > Software Downloads and Licensing > Downloads P-R

Temporary licenses are available for PowerPath Multipathing, PowerPath Encryption with RSA, and PowerPath Migration Enabler.  Contact your EMC representative to assist with obtaining the correct license.

Thanks, Brion

Hello.  I am logged into Powerlink using the "Customer View".   The following path should get you there:

Home > Support > Software Downloads and Licensing

On the left side of the window, you will see "Downloads P-R".  All PP versions are listed here.

Hello,

After I login and select support there is one option for "Downloads and Patches"  which inturn lists a dropdown in the alphabetical order but powerpath is not listed in there, I could see only one which is applicable to VMware but is not of my interest, can you suggest me regarding the same.

Regards,

Hello.  The download format is dependent on the operating system.  For the latest versions:

Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX are a .gz

Windows and VMware are a .zip

AIX is a .z

The installation format is also dependent on the operating system. For the latest versions:

All UNIX versions are .tar with .rpm and .bin depending on the OS

Windows is a .exe

VMware has an offline and an online package (with separate .exe or .rpm for the RTOOLS and license server packages)

If you plan to use an evaluation version of PowerPath, please contact your EMC account representative.  They can assist with obtaining and activating a license.

Thanks.
