![]() ![]() If needed, you can create a hostname to IP mapping in the Data Domain: Open the necessary ports in the firewall. Data Domainįirst of all, there’s the Data Domains. Most modern Dell EMC systems can achieve this with REST API calls originating from the device itself. Next, you need to register your devices in this SRS gateway. It doesn’t take too much time (deploy a vApp, install a policy manager on an existing or new server, register it and you’re done). SRS Port requirements are well documented.ĭeployment of this SRS infrastructure is something that a Dell EMC partner of Dell EMC engineer will do with the first Dell EMC system install. This means that you will need to punch a few holes in your firewall(s) at initial setup (internet gateway), and for every additional Dell EMC device you add to the gateway. The SRS gateway is typically located in the DMZ, with the Policy Manager and the Dell EMC equipment in the rest of the network behind additional firewalls. In my experience though, many customers hardly ever look at the SRS audit logs and set the policy to “Accept all” anyway… With the policy manager you get some additional insight and audit logging, which could be useful if you like such a thing. The logging in the SRS gateways is fairly basic.However with a “Ask for Permission” or “Deny All” policy, you can do just that: manually approve access, or deny it all (for example during enterprise wide change freezes). Now, that doesn’t mean every Dell EMC engineer will and can connect to your Dell EMC system at random. A SRS gateway without policy manager has a default “Accept All” policy.The main reasons I’ve seen why anyone uses this Policy Manager is either for audit logging and/or access control: There’s also a SRS Policy Manager, which you would deploy in your internal network. You can cluster these vApps to get some additional redundancy in case one of them breaks or is being updated. There’s a SRS vApp (based on SuSe Linux) that you typically deploy in your DMZ. The SRS infrastructure in the customer network hasn’t changed too much over the years. It turns out many of the new systems have REST API-based methods to register themselves with SRS. I have been doing that for some years now, but noticed I was using an antiquated approach. Win-win!Īs such, Dell EMC motivates us partners to connect all new systems to SRS. The support engineer can look up the state of a defective drive independently, and order new parts while the customer is sleeping. Secondly, it will result in faster incident resolution, and thus a happier customer. If an engineer can dial in himself, without having to negotiate a Webex session with the customer, that means more SRs per engineer per day and lower support costs for Dell EMC. First of all, it reduces the time spent by engineers in troubleshooting an issue. The latter saves you from having to host a Webex session.ĭell EMC likes to have all Dell EMC systems connected to SRS, again for two reasons. If either of this results in a Service Request at Dell EMC, a engineer can then use SRS to dial in / connect in and have a look at the faulty system. Connect home is your device itself dialing back home to Dell EMC to report various things such as errors, automatic support uploads, etc. There’s two sides to this support: connect home, and connect in. Set the time to the correct time and restart PSC and VCSA services.Dell EMC uses Secure Remote Services (SRS, formerly known as ESRS) to enhance the tech support experience for their products.If the vmware-cm service cannot start, follow kB and fix STS certificate and restart the service of vmware-cm. Renew PSC certificates with certificate-manager option 8.Follow KB and Unregister nondefault third-party extensions.Restart PSC and VCSA services, and you should be able to access the VC mob now.(advanced setting "" is 24 hours by default) Set the PSC and VCSA time 24 hours before the certificate expires.Set PSC and VCSA time from ntp to manual.Revert PSC and VCSA snapshot to the backup.To resolve the issue with the MOB expiration: Try to unregister third part extensions. If you cannot access Mob because the certificates have expired, follow KB.
