Install ESRS and configure ConnectHome
You can ensure that your system communicates with your service provider by installing
the EMC Secure Remote Support (ESRS).
If you already have an ESRS Gateway Server, this system can be monitored through it. If
you already have an IP Client, this system can be added to it. If neither of these is used,
EMC recommends setting up ESRS on the Storage Processors. This can be done through
Unisphere.
You will need the information from the worksheet in this publication.
