What is Emc Clariion Access Logix.


Access Logix is CLARiiON-specific software that runs on all CX-series storage systems with the exception of the CX200LC. It enhances the functionality of FLARE software, and allows the storage system to be shared by multiple hosts. Access Logix is a licensed software package that runs on each storage processor (SP) in supported storage systems.Access Logix software lets multiple hosts share the storage system. It implements this storage sharing using Storage Groups. A Storage Group is one or more LUNs within a storage system that is reserved for one or more hosts and is inaccessible to other hosts. Access Logix software enforces the host-to-Storage Group permissions. The Access Logix software is preinstalled on all CX300, CX500 and CX700 arrays at the factory. Access Logix runs within the FLARE Operating Environment and resides with FLARE software. Disks 0_0 and 0_2 store mirrored copies of the software for SP A, and disks 0_1 and 0_3 store mirrored copies of the software for SP B.When you power up the storage system, each SP boots and enables the Access Logix capability within FLARE.

Access Logix is enabled within the FLARE Operating Environment and is no longer a separate binary image of the software.Release 14 introduced a software packaging model that bundles software together for ease of installation and upgrade. Please refer to the FLARE Operating Environment Release Notes for details on this software packaging.
