EMC PowerPath Configuration Checker - PPCC


PowerPath Configuration Checker (PPCC) is a software program that verifies that a host is configured to the hardware and software required for PowerPath multipathing features (failover and load-balancing functions, licensing, and policies) as specified in the EMC Support Matrix (ESM). This utility analyzes system configuration information collected via the EMC Reports and EMC Grab utilities. PPCC currently runs on Windows and Linux platforms only.
PPCC works by analyzing data collected by EMC Reports for Windows and Grab for UNIX version 4.x. EMC Reports and EMC Grab are widely used EMC diagnostic utilities that collect host configuration data, system logs, and other host information used for EMC software problem analysis and resolution.

PPCC tests the following check:
* OS version * Machine Architecture as per ESM(EMC Support Matrix) 
* Powerpath Version * Powerpath eFix/License * License policy
* I/O timeout * EOL and EOSL ( End of life & End of Service life)
* HBA Model * HBA Driver * HBA Firmware * Kernel Version
* Symmetrix Microcode * Symmetrix Model * Symapi Version
* CLARiiON Fail-Over * CLARiiON Flare * Upgrade_path
* Veritas DMP Version v Powermt custom
* CLARiiON Model * other multipathing software
* Third party array validation * Checks OS patches
