The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

To communicate with VNX, Cisco UCS Directornow supports the Windows-based EMC NaviSphere. Before using NaviSphere, you must install and configure a Secure Shell (SSH) server on it.
To set up an SSHD server, we recommend that you install Cygwin version 1.7.27, and use the SSH daemon on the host. Cygwin provides a Linux-like environment on Microsoft Windows.
After installing the SSHD server on the Windows-based EMC NaviSphere, modify the Path variable under System Variables to include the NaviSphere bin folder. Therefore, whoever uses SSH to access Windows NaviSphere can immediately run VNX commands. After you install and configure the SSHD server, you should set up new default paths to enable the user-installed software to override the system software.
Follow these steps to download and install Cygwin version 1.7.27.
