There is a web based java gui to manage the CDL/EDL. Should have been
installed with the units. Very good application.

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.
