You will need to connect the EDL to the SAN, and then zone the card to see the
drives in your library. There are specific ports on the EDL to use, so consult
the documentation to see which ones are configured to be initiators.
The exact steps are different for each environment, but if you'd like to
discuss offline, I'd be happy to share our experiences.
The hardest thing we've encountered is that there is no user access to the
linux environment on the EDL, so you will almost certainly need to recruit EMC
tech support to assist you in confirming that the physical drives are
working/assigned properly to the embedded storage node.
