Control Center

I am new to ECC and I am i a process of planning and designing my ECC 6.0 before implementation.
I have a list of product keys I received from my corp. office for the following:
StorageScope, SS file level Reporter, Symmetrix Manager, solution enabler, SAN manager, symmetrix Manger console, performance manager, Symmetrix Optimizer. I know i cannot use few of this, like symmetrix because i don¿t have any symmetrix running at my office. BUT, how can i tell from this list whish product will enable me to manage my SAN¿s that i have in my division such as CX300, CX380, CX700, CX4120, and AX's. i would like to check also if those product will enable me to mange a regular DELL servers or ESX machines, or just database, volume manager, zone set, port, physical device etc.

my bottom line questions is, what can i manage with those products

Hi Ita,

In order to manage your Clariion CX arrays, you will need the Storage Agent for Clariion license. It provides deployment and full functionality (except LUN masking) for the Storage Agent for Clariion.

You will need the StorageScope license in order to manage your ESX servers. It provides deployment, discovery and monitoring for the VMware Agent.

Full details of licenses are documented in the EMC ControlCenter 6.0 Planning and Installation Guide Volume 1 on Powerlink.

With the Storage Agent for Clariion can't you still add a lun to a storage group by right clicking on the lun and selecting add to storage group following the wizard in ECC which will let you set the HLU. Essentially Lun Masking.

Just clarifying
Thanks

I know this wasn't the original question, but I'm curious why you would be deploying ControlCenter 6.0 now. Did you look at CC 6.1 and rule it out for a specific reason?

Especially where you are talking about managing ESX, there are some advantages to CC 6.1... not to mention the fact that you are going to have to upgrade at some point anyway.

For Lun Masking you need to have the SAN Manager license. The functionality you are talking about (adding a LUN to a storage group) isn't just "essentially LUN Masking"... it IS LUN Masking for a CLARiiON.

To be honest I can't imagine running ControlCenter without the SAN manager license anyway (if it is even an option), so it shouldn't be an issue.
