DIscovery Dell EMC Unity from OCI 7.3.14 (build 247, service pack 11)

FrancescoTIM — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:51:05 GMT

Hi all,

I'm trying to discover a bunch of Dell EMC Unity from an acquisition unity with Linux via uemcli.

Configuring and testing datasource were ok (Configuration: The executable /opt/emc/uemcli/bin/uemcli is both readable and executable.) , but discovery fails with this error: Error while loading shared libraries cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I openned a case to the suppport and they replyed that Unity are not supported anymore.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks

I just found one thread discusing this subject, looks like you will need to create a VNXe datasource pointed against your Unity array. I don't know if this is still doable but in any case have a look and reach out accordingly.

Check this forum thread:

Hi,

I've created a VNXe datasource and the color highlighted messages (confirmation and error) are messages from the datasource.

What is strange to me is the fact that I can create a ds get a green check at the test but still it's have error when the ds try to collect data from the box

If you don't get much luck with OCI, then you might want to look at 'Cloud Insights'. I am also just reading about it, and it has mentioned Dell EMC Unity in the support matrix.
