ESI SCO Integration Pack Collection of Activities for working with EMC Storage
– CX4, VNX-Block, VNXe, VMAX Connects hosts and clusters to ESI (Windows OS) Connects storage systems to ESI Disconnects systems from ESI Provisions raw storage (LUNs)
10© Copyright 2013 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
ContinuedESI SCO Integration Pack
Assigns raw storage to hosts and clusters (volumes) Prepares raw storage to be used by hosts and
clusters (disks) Resizes, de-assigns and deletes storage as needed
11© Copyright 2013 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
Underlying TechnologyESI SCO Integration Pack
Performs storage provisioning by using ESI components
Interacts with ESI using System.Management.Automation .Net namespace
Calls PowerShell cmdlets programmatically Each Activity calls one or more PowerShell cmdlets Established connections held in ESI cache

Things To Note About ESI & Integration Pack 32-bit ESI PowerShell must be installed on any server
which is hosting either the SCO Runbook Server or the SCO Runbook Designer.
Connections with Hosts, Clusters, and Storage Systems made via an Orchestrator Activity remain active in the ESI cache until removed by an Orchestrator Disconnect.
