About Cisco UCS Director for EMC VNX
Cisco UCS Director supports EMC VNX block, file, and unified storage accounts. Block supports block data, file supports file data, and unified supports both block and file data. See the Compatibility Matrix for all supported EMC VNX versions.
For a VNX Block account, you can manage the following:
-
Block Storage Pools
-
Storage Groups
-
RAID Groups
-
Host Initiators
-
Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs)
The reports for VNX Block accounts also include details on all of these items, and on storage processors, ports, meta LUNs, hosts, ports, and disk devices.
For a VNX File account, you can manage the following:

The reports available for VNX File accounts include details on the above items, and system overview summaries.
For a VNX File new account, you create either Common Internet File Servers (CIFS) or Network File System (NFS) Export.
