EMC Navisphere CLI (Global User)

Description

This connector enables hardware monitoring for EMC VNX controllers through the EMC Navisphere CLI (naviseccli). The naviseccli must be installed on the system where the agent is running. This connector uses naviseccli to connect to the EMC VNX controller as a "Global User", i.e. with "Scope 1".
