Installing the Expansion Pack Using Navisphere Express
Each storage system in the cluster is centrally managed by one host system
(also called a management station) running EMC Navisphere Express—a
centralized storage management application used to configure Dell/EMC
storage systems.
If you have an expansion pack option for the storage system and it has not
been installed, install it now by following the steps listed below:
1
From the management host, open an Internet browser.
2
Enter the IP address of an SP in the storage system.
3
Log in to
Navisphere Express
with the username and password that you
specified during the storage system initialization.

In the
Navisphere Express
navigation pane under System, click

In the
System Software
screen, click

Insert the expansion pack media into the CD/DVD drive on the host from
which you are running Navisphere Express.

You can use Navisphere Express to perform tasks such as creating disk pools,
binding the virtual disks, and downloading the firmware. Additionally, you
can use Snapshot Management to capture point-in-time images of a virtual
disk for backups or testing without affecting the contents of the source virtual
disk. You can also use the SAN Copy™ feature in Navisphere Express to move
data from the virtual disks on one storage system to the virtual disks on
another storage system without using the host CPU cycles.
