FLARE software manages all functions of the CLARiiON storage system. Each storage system ships with a complete copy of FLARE software installed. When you power up the storage system, each SP boots and executes FLARE software.Access Logix software is optional software that runs within the FLARE operating environment on each storage processor (SP). Access Logix provides access control and allows multiple hosts to share the storage system. This “LUN Masking” functionality is implemented using Storage Groups. A Storage Group is one or more LUNs within a storage system that are reserved for one or more hosts and are inaccessible to other hosts. When you power up the storage system, each SP boots and executes its Access Logix software. Navisphere Management software is a suite of tools that allows centralized management of CLARiiON storage systems. Navisphere provides a centralized tool to monitor, configure, and analyze performance. CLARiiON can also be managed as part of EMC ControlCenter, allowing full end-to-end management.
