Here you go:  ­      Windows XP Professional with SP1 or later ­      Windows Server 2003 with SP2  (32 bit) ­      Windows Server 2003 with SP2  (64 bit) ­      VMWare ESX 3.5, 3.0 and 3i (above versions are supported guest OS) ­      Microsoft Hyper-V Guest OS Windows Server 2003 with SP2 (32 bit) ­      Microsoft Hyper-V Guest OS Windows Server 2003 with SP2 (64 bit) ­      Windows 2000 Server is supported for Service installations only. IMPORTANT:     Windows Vista and Server 2008 are not supported operating systems for CLARalert Centralized Monitor Dial-Home EMCRemote configuration. Note:   CLARalert supports only IPv4 addresses. For optimal UI performance, EMC recommends that the memory limit allocated to the JRE be increased. The default size of 64 MB is often too small and may result in “Out of memory” errors. To set the memory size, from the Start menu in Windows, select Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Java Plugin icon. Select the Advanced or Java tab. In the Java Runtime Parameters, enter either of the following: –Xmx128m or -Xmx256m or -Xmx512m The argument specifies the maximum memory. Typically, about 1/2 the size of your overall workstation's memory is recommended as the maximum memory value.  For instance, if your workstation has 1G memory, then use “-Xmx512m” for the JRE runtime parameter.  If your workstation has 2G or more memory, you can adjust the max JRE memory as needed to avoid running out of Java memory and possibly improving overall performance. Additionally, the Java 6 JRE includes performance enhancements that provide increased UI performance when running the Navisphere UI. ­      Navisphere Manager TCP ports 80 and 443 ­      Navisphere Agent (centralized monitor) TCP port 6389 ­      Navisphere Agent email SMTP (distributed monitor) TCP port 25 ­      ConnectEMC email SMTP (centralized monitor and ESRS) TCP port 25 ­      ConnectEMC FTP (ESRS configuration) TCP port 21 ­      EMCRemote Client (remote connect to array SP) TCP port 5414 ­      Remotely Anywhere (R29 or higher CX4 storage systems) TCP port 9519 Note:   New installs of Windows XP, W2K3 server may have the Windows firewall turned on and not configured to allow CLARalert to install or function correctly. Before performing this procedure have the customer verify that the firewall is disabled or configured to allow the above ports.
I am in search fo the requirements for the PC that will function as the monitoring PC that allows EMC support to login to the SAN. Any idea of the requirements? I assume they are pretty minimal but wanted to verify.
