Configuring SYMAPI to operate SHC-OSD (Symmetrix/VMAX3)

Configuration of the SYMAPI server

The configuration settings for the interplay of SYMAPI and SHC-OSD are made solely on the SYMAPI server.

SHC-OSD requires the following configuration settings on the SYMAPI server:

• The port number can be defined on the SYMAPI server. The default is 2707.

• No SSL encryption ("NONSECURE") The SYMAPI server must accept unencrypted connections. It must therefore be configured with SYMAPI_SECURITY_LEVEL=ANY in the .../EMC/SYMAPI/config/options file.

• To create diagnostic documentation of the SYMAPI server with /MODIFY-SHC-PROCESSING SYMAPI-DEBUG=*ON/*OFF (see "Diagnostic aids"), the SYMAPI server should be configured in such a way that the diagnostic settings from the SYMAPI client can be changed.
  To do this, set storsrvd:permit_symapi_debug=CLIENT in the .../EMC/SYMAPI/config/daemon_options file.

Configuring the connection from the SYMAPI client to the SYMAPI server

The specifications for the connection of the SYMAP client to the SYMAPI servers are made in the SHC-OSD parameter file after SHC-OSD has been installed.

The IP address of the SYMAPI server and the port number to be used are defined in the SHC-OSD parameter file, see section "Configuration of SHC-OSD".

Enter the configured SYMAPI server(s) in the SHC-OSD parameter file. The parameters required for this are SYMAPI-HOST and SYMAPI-PORT. You define the connection to the possible SYMAPI servers.
SHC-OSD can work with up to four different SYMAPI servers.

SHC-OSD uses the following configuration settings:

• Address of the SYMAPI server (host name or IP address in IPv4 format)

• Port number on the SYMAPI server (default: 2707)
