Release Date : October 23, 2009
Author : GSTools
*****************************************************************************************
PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION NOTICE:
On some hosts, where high I/O is a normal course of events, running the EMCGrab utility may cause some performance degradation when running some commands.
Best practices should prevail, such as running at off peak hours
*****************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT NOTICES FOR ALL OS:
If the EMCgrab is run with the -autoexec feature enabled and the host uses naviseccli
(in case of navicli is not found) then in order to collect Clariion information, the security file should have been already created using -AddUserSecurity feature of naviseccli.
If that file is absent then EMCGrab will not collect any clariion information.
If a Symmetrix is attached to a host and if the symmetrix devices are not enabled for masking then, while running the symmaskdb and symaccess commands you can encounter a message as:
"No device masking database records could be found for the specified input parameters"
IMPORTANT NOTICES FOR SOLARIS:
****** Before running EMCgrab please take note of these ETAs ******
ETA emc108113: PowerPath 4.4 / 4.3.1: SYMCLI commands hang or fail.
HBA goes Offline/Online. This issue is resolved in SAN release 4.4.9 for Solaris 8 & 9. For Solaris 10, fix included in 119130-17. ETA emc121607: Solutions Enabler: Solaris Leadville MPxIO segments
