I need a solution
As an organization, we've just replaced our VNX devices with newer VNXe, which are a lower end filer.
The bottom line is that these VNXe devices cannot be configured using the cepp.conf method used for Celerra/VNX/Isilon (DI 4.5 admin guide page 105).
- EMC says that the interface for configuring the filer doesn't exist, which I find odd since the VNX product still works and is still current. It seems that the feature was turned off for lower end products.
- Symantec says that EMC changed the product and they have no answer for the current version.
I'm not looking for more of the same official responses from EMC or Symantec. I have a Data Insight system that has become almost useless overnight.
The question is:
Does anyone know of a work around to event collection without resorting to developing a "generic device" that uses the API?
I'm told the VNXe devices can ship the logs to a syslog server, but I don't see a way of reading event logs from anything but the listed filers.
