Introduction

Symmetrix Management Console overviewSymmetrix® Management Console (SMC) is a simple, intuitive,browser-based user interface for the configuration and managementof Symmetrix arrays. It was developed to concurrently support all thefeatures of Enginuity™ Version 5671 and higher.

SMC presents the functionality of the Solutions Enabler SYMCLI(command line interface) in a browser interface. You can use SMC to:

◆ Manage Symmetrix access controls, user accounts, and roles

◆ Discover Symmetrix arrays

◆ Perform configuration operations (create devices, map and maskdevices, set Symmetrix attributes, set device attributes, set portflags, create SAVE device pools)

◆ Manage devices (change device configuration, set device status,reserve devices, duplicate devices, create/dissolve metadevices)

◆ Manage Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST), VirtualProvisioning™, and Auto-provisioning Groups

◆ Perform and monitor replication operations(TimeFinder®/Mirror, TimeFinder/Snap, TimeFinder/Clone,SRDF®, Open Replicator)

◆ Monitor alerts

◆ Monitor an application’s performance

◆ Dynamically provision storage in virtual computingenvironments (Storage Pool Management)


Introduction

Symmetrix Performance Analyzer overviewEMC® Symmetrix® Performance Analyzer (SPA) is an intuitive,browser-based tool used to perform historical trending and analysisof Symmetrix array performance data. SPA was developed to workwith the Symmetrix Management Console (SMC). The SPA interfacecan open in its own web window from the SMC menu, or on its own.

SPA adds an optional layer of data collection, analysis, andpresentation tools to the SMC implementation. You can use SPA to:

◆ Set performance thresholds and alerts

◆ Set e-mail alerts for threshold breaches and system healthchanges

◆ View high frequency metrics in realtime

◆ Perform root cause analysis

◆ View Symmetrix array heat maps and navigate (one click) toDiagnostic view to analyze hot issues

◆ View graphs detailing system performance

◆ Drill-down through data to investigate issues

◆ Monitor performance and capacity over time

◆ Execute scheduled and ongoing queries, and export that data to afile

◆ Customize your own dashboard view

SPA also provides default dashboards for analyzing FAST and FASTVP data movement.

Introduction

Before you beginBefore you begin installing the SMC/SPA, you should review theinformation in this section.

SMC prerequisites SMC V7.3 has the following prerequisites:

◆ Solutions Enabler V7.3 (minimum) must be installed.

Note: The installation wizard will fail if the proper level of SolutionsEnabler is not installed on the host.

◆ SMC can be installed on the same system as the SYMAPI server,or on a system connected to the SYMAPI server. Refer to Figure 1on page 16 and Figure 2 on page 17, respectively.

◆ Java runtime environment must be enabled on the client browser.

◆ If you are changing your SYMAPI connection type(local/remote), you must uninstall SMC before reinstalling it. Forexample, if you change from a local connection to client/server.

◆ If upgrading an SMC V7.2 installation in which the Storage PoolManagement feature was used, you should back up the SPMmetadata prior to starting the upgrade. This will allow you torollback to the previous version of SMC, should the upgrade notgo as planned. Once you are satisfied that the upgrade wassuccessful, back up the SPM metadata again so that you will havea copy of the new SPM metadata.

Note: For additional environment requirements and product updates, refer tothe EMC Symmetrix Management Console Release Notes.

SPA prerequisites SPA V2.2 has the following prerequisites:

◆ If upgrading from SPA 2.1 or higher, back up the SPA databaseusing the Administration, Database Management, Backupoption. After the installation of SPA V2.2, use the Restore option.The SPA online help provides instructions on backingup/restoring the SPA database.


Introduction

◆ If upgrading from SPA V2.0 or lower, backup the SPA databaseusing the SPA DB Backup utility. The utility is available onPowerlink. For instructions on using the utility, refer to itsREADME file.

◆ Solaris/Linux installations: Before starting a new SPAinstallation on Solaris or Linux, the mysql user and mysql groupmust be present. In addition, the mysql user must be using thepassword mysql and be a member of the mysql group. Anexample of the MySql instructions follows:

shell> groupadd mysqlshell> useradd -m -g mysql -p mysql mysql

Note: For additional environment requirements and product updates, refer tothe EMC Symmetrix Performance Analyzer Release Notes.

Initial Setup User While installing the software, you will be prompted to specify anInitial Setup User. You can either specify the user ID you currentlyuse to access the Symmetrix array (if User Authorization is enabled),or you can use the default user ID smc. If you plan on using thedefault ID, there must be no user IDs listed in the User Authorizationdatabase. If there are user IDs in the database (regardless of whetheruser authorization is enabled), then you must use SYMCLI to add thedefault user ID (smc) to the database.

The initial setup user's role is to install and set up the SMCenvironment (create users and add roles). It is intended to be atemporary role as it will only allow you to access and performadministrative tasks on Symmetrix arrays that do not have defineduser roles (authorization rules). Once an Administrator orSecurityAdmin is assigned to a Symmetrix array, the initial setup userwill no longer be able to access or even see the array from the SMCconsole. Therefore, it is recommended that users not operate in thisrole for too long.

Note: “Security features” on page 93 contains more information on users androles.

Introduction

SMC licensing With the release of the Enginuity 5875 Q2 2011 SR and SMC V7.3,SMC licensing is moving from a host-based SMC key model to aSymmetrix-based SMC eLicense model, as was introduced witheLicensing in Enginuity 5875.

With this change to SMC’s licensing model, the ability to manage aSymmetrix array from an SMC host depends on the version of SMCrunning on the host and the version of Enginuity running on thearray.

SMC V7.3 host When accessing a Symmetrix VMAX array running the Enginuity5875 Q2 2011 SR (or higher) from a host running SMC V7.3, you canmanage the VMAX array if it contains an SMC eLicense; otherwise,you can not manage the array from SMC. However, you can obtainand install your SMC eLicense for any array through SMC withoutany SMC host-based keys or SMC entitlements.

When accessing any Symmetrix array running an Enginuity versionlower than the 5875 Q2 2011 SR from a host running SMC V7.3, youcan manage the array regardless of whether the host has the formerlyused host-based SMC license key.

SMC Pre-V7.3 host When accessing a Symmetrix array running the Enginuity 5875 Q22011 SR from a host running an SMC version lower than V7.3, youcan manage the array regardless of whether the array contains anSMC eLicense. However, the host still requires the formerly usedhost-based SMC license key.

Symmetrix VMAX upgrades and SMCWhen a Symmetrix VMAX array that has been managed by SMC isupgraded to the Enginuity 5875 Q2 2011 SR, SMC will continue tooperate with the array even if the proper eLicense for SMC is notpresent. The SMC eLicense will be noted as In Use in the eLicensingreport that is available through SMC. This designation means that therequired eLicense is missing, but access to the array is still allowed toavoid service disruption. You should obtain and apply the properSMC eLicense to clear this designation.

Note: For more information on eLicensing, refer to the EMC Solution EnablerInstallation Guide.


Introduction

SMC on the Symmetrix service processorSMC is available on the Symmetrix service processor as part of EMC’smanagement integration. Before deploying SMC in this manner, youshould be aware of the following:

◆ The service processor is shared with EMC Customer service fornormal service operations.

◆ There is no host access to the service processor, thereby limitingyour ability to do backups of your management environment.This will prevent you from backing up SMC and SolutionsEnabler configuration files and/or device groups.

◆ Additionally, you will need to involve Customer Service tostart/stop Solutions Enabler services or the SMC service.

◆ You must involve Customer Service to review Solutions Enablerlogs.

◆ The following features are not supported when running SMC onthe Symmetrix service processor:

• Storage Pool Management (SPM)

• Windows authentication

• RDF consistency groups

• Group name services (GNS)

SMC on the service processor is disabled by default. To enable it,contact EMC Customer Service.

Note: SPA is not available on the Symmetrix service processor.

SMC/SPA Virtual ApplianceSMC and SPA are available as a virtual appliances for ESX V4.0 (andhigher) Servers in a VMware environment. For more information andinstructions on deploying the appliance, refer to “Deploying theSMC/SPA Virtual Appliance” on page 37.

Licensing SMC Starting with SMC 7.3, you no longer require a host-based license keyto first launch the application. However, before you can manage aSymmetrix array running the Enginuity 5875 Q2 2011 SR, you mustinstall an SMC elicense on the array. For more information, refer to“SMC licensing” on page 18. For instructions on licensing SMC on anarray running the 5875 SR, refer to Installing Licenses in the SMConline help.

Licensing SPA SPA V2.2 uses host-based eLicensing to enter and query its licenses.With V2.2 there is only a single SPA license.

Note: SPA V2.2 utilizes host-based Electronic License Management, thereforeyou will be provided with a License Authorization Code letter for your SPAsoftware. Use this license code to register the SPA software electronically onthe EMC Powerlink® website at:http://Powerlink.EMC.com



Installation

Note: As of Q2 2011, EMC no longer requires SPA license files to be locked toboth the Symmetrix ID and the MAC address of the host running SPA. ForLicense files issued as of this date, HOSTID will be set to ANY, instead ofspecific MAC address as was the case previously. License files with theHOSTID set to ANY will allow any version of SPA and associated underlyingversion of Solutions Enabler to run successfully on any supported hostwithout requiring a MAC address.

When SPA is started, it queries Solutions Enabler to see if it is licensed tofunction with the associated Symmetrix VMAX array.

You must install a SPA license file on each SPA host (Windows,Solaris, and Linux x86 processor) using either the following symlmf

command or SMC’s License Manager feature:

symlmf add -type LicenseType-dir PathToDirName | -file PathToFileName

Where:

-type LicenseType — Specifies the type of licenses to be processed.This can either be se which specifies the traditional Solutions Enablerlicense or emclm which specifies the new EMC license. SPA licensesuse the emclm type.

-dir PathToDirName — Specifies a path to a directory that containslicense files with the .lic extension.

-file PathToFileName — Specifies a path to a file that containslicenses.

Note: Installing licenses in the SMC help explains how to license SPA using theLicense Manager.

Entering SPA licensesin client/server mode

Note: The Remote Operations chapter in the EMC Solutions Enabler InstallationGuide explains how to set up client/server for SYMCLI.

Follow these steps to license SPA in a client/server configuration:

Server side

The server has SYMAPI, SYMCLI, and the required gatekeepers.

◆ Verify that the storsrvd process is running.

Completing the installation 27

28

Installation

Client side

1. Edit the netconfg file with the server name.

2. Set the following environment variables:

SYMCLI_CONNECT=SYMAPI_SERVERSYMCLI_CONNECT_TYPE=REMOTE

3. Add the SPA license keys with the symlmf command, as follows:

symlmf -type emclm add -file PathToFileName.lic

4. Enter the following command to verify that the host displays inthe output:

symlmf -type emclm list

This verifies that the SPA license is included in thesymapi_clp_license.dat file on the server system.

Licensing examplesThe following is an example of the symlmf add -dir commandwhich will add licenses from any files with the .lic extension in thedirectory specified to the license database:

symlmf add -type emclm -dir /tmp/licenses

The following is an example of the symlmf add -file commandwhich will add licenses from the file specified to the license database:

symlmf add -type emclm -file /tmp/api57_072809.lic

During the processing of each license one of the following messagesdisplays indicating its processing status:

License FeatureName, SymmID, HostID, IssueDate: StatusThe Status can be either:

Processed successfulNot Processed - unknown Symm IDNot Processed - invalid signatureNot Processed - invalid Host IDNot Processed - ExpiredNot Processed - Licensing error: <error code>

The <error code> is the error returned by the ELM API which isused to process the licenses.

When all the processing is complete a summary displays of the totallicenses successfully and unsuccessfully processed as shown below:

Total licenses Processed : nnTotal licenses Not Processed : nn


Installation

Displaying SPA licensesTo display the SPA licenses, use the following form:

symlmf list -type emclm [-v] [-host]

Where:

-host — Indicates that only licenses specified for this host should belisted.

-v —Indicates that the list command should provide a verbose list.

Example The following is sample output for a symlmf list command:

Excluding the data and temp directories from virus scans (for SPA installationsonly)

MySQL advises that you exclude the following directories from anyvirus scan:

◆ The data directory and all its subdirectories(SMAS\jboss\server\default-em\data\msq\data)

◆ The temp directory(SMAS\jboss\server\default-em\data\msq\temp)

Not following this advice may lead to data corruption in the SPAdatabase.

Changing the default SMC viewBy default, SMC opens displays the Dashboard view. However, youcan change the default view to either the Properties or the Tasksview.

To change the default view:

1. Change to the Tasks view.

2. In the Administration panel, under Templates and Preferences,click Set View Preferences to open the Set View Preferencesdialog box.

3. Select the Default View (Dashboard, Properties or Tasks).

4. Click OK.



SMC menu barStorage configuration and management operations are performed byselecting an object (in the navigation tree or Properties view) andopening a dialog box from the menu bar. There are four pull-downmenus in the menu bar: File, Control, and Help.

File menu The File menu contains controls that are not often used.

Table 2 describes the File menu items.

Table 2 File menu

Menu item Description

Export Opens a dialog box from which you can select the contents of thenavigation tree or the view to export to a file or an image.

Refresh View Refreshes the view (from the selected object down) with the currentcontents of the Symmetrix database.

Symmetrix Discover Opens a dialog box from which you can discover the Symmetrix arrays.

Logout Terminates the user session (the server stays up).

Control menu Most of the operations performed in SMC are done by selecting anobject, such as an array or a device, in the navigation tree or theProperties view, and then opening a control dialog box by eitherright-clicking the object or clicking the Control menu in the menubar.

In addition, you can also perform an operation on multiple objects atthe same time by either selecting a folder (e.g., Ungrouped) in thenavigation tree or using the Shift key to select multiple objects (e.g.,devices) in a view, and then right-clicking to open the Control menu.

Note: When accessing the Control menu from the folder level, the menuoptions will remain the same; however, they will be enabled/disabled basedon the selected object.

Table 3 maps the Control menu, dialog box names, and specifies theobject you must select to open the control dialog box. After selectingan object you can open the dialog with the right-click menu, or selectControl from the menu bar.

Using Symmetrix Performance Analyzer

Opening Symmetrix Performance AnalyzerThe SPA installation is layered over the SMC software, therefore themost common gateway to SPA is through SMC, however, SPA canalso be opened independently of SMC.

From SMC Right-click an object from the SMC navigation tree, such as aSymmetrix array, and select Performance Analyzer, and thenSnapshot, or Trend.

From a web browser Open the web browser and enter:

http://localhost:7070/spaor

https://localhost:8443/spa

The EMC Symmetrix Performance Analyzer login window appears.

Type your SMC Username and Password. When using SPA, youhave the same access controls and privileges as you have in SMC.



SPA OverviewSPA provides these views for analyzing Symmetrix array data.

◆ Dashboards — The Dashboards view provides supplied views ofthe Symmetrix arrays, and allows you to define and manage yourown dashboard. A dashboard can contain charts or a Symmetrixheat map.

◆ Real Time — The Real Time view provides high frequency datacollection and displays the selected metrics as they becomeavailable. This view also allows for data saves for a 1-hour timewindow.

◆ Diagnostic — The Diagnostic view analyzes high- and low-levelmetrics. It provides an intuitive root cause analysis engine thatprovides access to all available metrics and includes compositecomparison charts of related metrics. It also has device-levelviews, and typically focuses on a short time, such as a couple ofhours.

◆ Snapshot — The Snapshot view displays a calculation of thecollected data over time and shows the relationship between thephysical (array, disk, director) and logical (device group,application) components of the array.

◆ Trend — The Trend view can best show the consumption ofresources over time. The Trend view also supports linearprojection lines, which can be used with user-defined thresholdsas the basis for capacity planning.

In addition, there are several dialogs that you can configure beforeusing SPA, as follows:

Table 5 SPA Administration dialog box descriptions

Administration dialog box Description

Data Collection Registration Register the Symmetrix arrays for data collection.

Set Global Policy Set the data saving requirements, such as polling times.

System Alerts Activate e-mail alerts for critical database errors, low disk space for SPAdata, missing real-time data, and missing diagnostic data. (E-mailcontacts are set in SMC.)

Thresholds and Alerts The performance thresholds that you set become the defaults in the AlertConfiguration dialog box. Create both in one dialog.

SPA Overview 85

86


Alert Management Create, modify, and delete alerts for threshold breaches.

Real Time Trace Management Schedule a real time data trace.

Query Management Query the SPA database ad hoc or on a schedule and export the results.

Metric Management Customize the key performance indicators for your environment. Filterany nonessential metrics from the SPA view.

User Preferences Set the default time range for the Snapshot and Trend views only. Thetime range can be adjusted in each SPA view.

Thresholds and Alerts Select one of the following:• Threshold Alert and Management to customize system-wide

thresholds and tie them to e-mail alerts.• Default Thresholds to view the current threshold settings, and

optionally restore the thresholds to the defaults.• Restore Default Settings to open a confirmation that you want to

restore all the thresholds to the defaults.

Settings Export customized threshold values to an XML file, which can later beimported to other SPA systems in the environment.

User Defined Dashboards Define your own SPA dashboard; add charts or a Symmetrix array heatmap. Modify existing dashboards. Create a folder structure for heatmaps.

Database Management Backup and restore the SPA database.

Security features

This appendix provides a brief overview of the security features usedto secure access to SMC, SPA, and Symmetrix arrays. The SMC helpsystem contains specific configuration procedures required to enablethese features. References to those procedures are provided whereappropriate.

◆ Authentication.................................................................................... 94◆ Authorization ..................................................................................... 95

Security features 93

94

Security features

AuthenticationSMC/SPA supports the following types of authentication:

◆ Windows (local and domain based): Users login with Windowsdomain\username and password (if they have a Windowsaccount on the SMC server).

◆ LDAP: Users login with their LDAP-SSL username and password(if they have a user account stored on a LDAP-SSL server).

To use this method, an SMC Administrator or SecurityAdminmust set up LDAP-SSL authentication in SMC. Configuringauthentication in the SMC online help contains instructions.

◆ Local SMC users: Users login with their SMC username andpassword (if they have a local SMC user account).

To use this method, an SMC Initial Setup User, Administrator, orSecurityAdmin must create a local SMC user account for the user.Local user accounts are stored locally on the SMC server host andwork in much the same way as the other methods to validate usercredentials. Adding local SMC user accounts in the SMC online helpcontains instructions.


Security features

AuthorizationUser authorization is a tool for restricting the managementoperations users can perform on a Symmetrix array. By default,authorization on a Symmetrix array is enabled for SMC users,regardless of whether it has been enabled on the Symmetrix array.

When configuring user authorization, an Administrator orSecurityAdmin maps individual users or groups of users to specificroles, which determine the operations the users can perform.

Roles are typically set for an entire Symmetrix array. However, whenadding roles for use with the Storage Pool Management (SPM)feature, they are set for the component level (thin pool and storagegroup). Understanding Storage Pool Management in the SMC onlinehelp contains more information on SPM.

User roles The following introduces the available roles. Roles and their associatedpermissions in the SMC online help provides more details on thepermissions associated with each role.

◆ None — Provides no permissions.

◆ Monitor — Performs read-only (passive) operations on aSymmetrix array excluding the ability to read the audit log orAccess Control definitions.

◆ StorageAdmin — Performs all management (active or control)operations on a Symmetrix array in addition to all Monitoroperations. This role does not allow users to perform securityoperations.

◆ Administrator — Performs all operations on a Symmetrix array,including security operations in addition to all StorageAdminand Monitor operations.

◆ SecurityAdmin — Performs security operations on a Symmetrixarray in addition to all Monitor operations.

◆ Auditor — Grants the ability to view, but not modify, securitysettings for a Symmetrix array (including reading the audit log,symacl list, and symauth) in addition to all Monitor operations.This is the minimum role required to view the Symmetrix auditlog.

Authorization 95

96

Security features

In addition to the above user roles, SMC includes two administrativeroles:

◆ SMC Initial Setup User — Defined during installation, thistemporary role provides administrator-like permissions for thepurpose of adding local users and roles to SMC. For moreinformation on the Initial Setup User, see the online help.

◆ StorageAdmin - Virtualization Domain — Exists for the solepurpose of setting up an Storage Pool Management environment.

Individual and group rolesUsers gain access to a Symmetrix array or component either directlythrough a role assignment and/or indirectly through membership ina user group that has a role assignment.

User groups enable administrators to assign roles to multiple userssimultaneously. User groups are created on the SMC server accordingto its operating system and assigned roles with SMC.

If a user has two different role assignments (one as an individual andone as a member of a group), the permissions assigned to the userwill be combined. For example, if a user is assigned a Monitor roleand a StorageAdmin role through a group, the user will be grantedMonitor and StorageAdmin rights.

User IDs Users and user groups are mapped to their respective roles by IDs.These IDs consist of a three-part string in the form:

Type:Domain\Name

Where:

Type Specifies the type of security authority used toauthenticate the user or group. Possible types are:

L Indicates a user or group authenticated byLDAP. In this case, Domain specifies thedomain controller on the LDAP server. Forexample:

L:danube.com\Finance

Indicates that user group Finance logged inthrough domain controller danube.com.


Security features

Within role definitions, IDs can be either fully qualified (as above),partially qualified, or unqualified. When the Domain portion of the IDstring is an asterisk (*), the asterisk is treated as a wildcard, meaningany host or domain.

Note: When configuring group access, the Domain portion of the ID must befully qualified.

C Indicates a user or group authenticated bythe SMC server. For example:

C:Boston\Legal

Indicates that user group Legal logged inthrough SMC sever Boston.

H Indicates a user or group authenticated bylogging into a local account on a Windowshost. In this case, Domain specifies thehostname. For example:

H:jupiter\mason

Indicates that user mason logged in on hostjupiter.

D Indicates a user or group authenticated bya Windows domain. In this case, Domainspecifies the domain or realm name. Forexample:

D:sales\putman

Indicates user putman logged in through aWindows domain sales.

V Indicates a user or group authenticated bya virtualization domain. In this case,Domain specifies virtualization domainname.

Name Specifies the username relative to that authority. Itcannot be longer than 32 characters and spaces areallowed if delimited with quotes. Usernames can befor individual users or user groups.

Authorization 97

98

Security features

For example:

D:ENG\jones Fully qualified path with a domain andusername (for individual domain users).

D:ENG.xyz.com\ExampleGroup

Fully qualified domain name and group name(for domain groups).

D:*\jones Partially qualified that matches username joneswith any domain.

H:HOST\jones Fully qualified path with a hostname andusername.

H:*\jones Partially qualified that matches username joneswithin any host.

jones Unqualified username that matches any jones inany domain on any host.

In the event that a user is matched by more than one mapping, theuser authorization mechanism uses the more specific mapping. If anexact match (e.g., D:sales\putman) is found, that is used; if a partialmatch (e.g., D:*\putman) is found, that is used; if an unqualifiedmatch (e.g., putman) is found, that is used; otherwise, the user isassigned a role of None.

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of thislicense document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts asthe successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence theversion number 2.1.]

PreambleThe licenses for most software are designed to take away yourfreedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General PublicLicenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and changefree software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to somespecially designated software packages--typically libraries--of theFree Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully aboutwhether this license or the ordinary General Public License is thebetter strategy to use in any particular case, based on theexplanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make surethat you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (andcharge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code orcan get it if you want it; that you can change the software and usepieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that youcan do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbiddistributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender theserights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you ifyou distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis orfor a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you.You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.If you link other code with the library, you must provide completeobject files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the



library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. Andyou must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright thelibrary, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legalpermission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there isno warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified bysomeone else and passed on, the recipients should know that whatthey have is not the original version, so that the original author'sreputation will not be affected by problems that might be introducedby others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of anyfree program. We wish to make sure that a company cannoteffectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining arestrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that anypatent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistentwith the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by theordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU LesserGeneral Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and isquite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use thislicense for certain libraries in order to permit linking those librariesinto non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using ashared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking acombined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinaryGeneral Public License therefore permits such linking only if theentire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser GeneralPublic License permits more lax criteria for linking other code withthe library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because itdoes Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary GeneralPublic License. It also provides other free software developers Lessof an advantage over competing non-free programs. Thesedisadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General PublicLicense for many libraries. However, the Lesser license providesadvantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need toencourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that itbecomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 101

102


must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a freelibrary does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In thiscase, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free softwareonly, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-freeprograms enables a greater number of people to use a large body offree software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library innon-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNUoperating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operatingsystem.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of theusers' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linkedwith the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run thatprogram using a modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution andmodification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". Theformer contains code derived from the library, whereas the lattermust be combined with the library in order to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION ANDMODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or otherprogram which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder orother authorized party saying it may be distributed under the termsof this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Eachlicensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or dataprepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or workwhich has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on theLibrary" means either the Library or any derivative work undercopyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or aportion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translatedstraightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation isincluded without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work formaking modifications to it. For a library, complete source code



means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus anyassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to controlcompilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are notcovered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of runninga program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such aprogram is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on theLibrary (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it).Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what theprogram that uses the Library does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library'scomplete source code as you receive it, in any medium, providedthat you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copyan appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keepintact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence ofany warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with theLibrary.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,and you may at your option offer warranty protection inexchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or anyportion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copyand distribute such modifications or work under the terms ofSection 1 above, provided that you also meet all of theseconditions:

a. The modified work must itself be a software library.

b. You must cause the files modified to carry prominent noticesstating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

c. You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at nocharge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

d. If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or atable of data to be supplied by an application program thatuses the facility, other than as an argument passed when thefacility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort toensure that, in the event an application does not supply suchfunction or table, the facility still operates, and performswhatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.

(For example, a function in a library to compute square rootshas a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of theapplication. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that anyapplication-supplied function or table used by this functionmust be optional: if the application does not supply it, thesquare root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. Ifidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from theLibrary, and can be reasonably considered independent andseparate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,do not apply to those sections when you distribute them asseparate works. But when you distribute the same sections aspart of a whole which is a work based on the Library, thedistribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entirewhole, and thus to each and every part regardless of whowrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights orcontest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, theintent is to exercise the right to control the distribution ofderivative or collective works based on the Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based onthe Library with the Library (or with a work based on theLibrary) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium doesnot bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU GeneralPublic License instead of this License to a given copy of theLibrary. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to thisLicense, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General PublicLicense, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer versionthan version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License hasappeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.)Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for thatcopy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to allsubsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code ofthe Library into a program that is not a library.



4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion orderivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable formunder the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that youaccompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readablesource code, which must be distributed under the terms ofSections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used forsoftware interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copyfrom a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copythe source code from the same place satisfies the requirement todistribute the source code, even though third parties are notcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of theLibrary, but is designed to work with the Library by beingcompiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses theLibrary". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of theLibrary, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Librarycreates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because itcontains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses thelibrary". The executable is therefore covered by this License.Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a headerfile that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may bea derivative work of the Library even though the source code isnot. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work canbe linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. Thethreshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, datastructure layouts and accessors, and small macros and smallinline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of theobject file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally aderivative work. (Executables containing this object code plusportions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you maydistribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine orlink a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce awork containing portions of the Library, and distribute that worknder terms of your choice, provided that the terms permitmodification of the work for the customer's own use and reverseengineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work thatthe Library is used in it and that the Library and its use arecovered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License.If the work during execution displays copyright notices, youmust include the copyright notice for the Library among them, aswell as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License.Also, you must do one of these things:

a. Accompany the work with the complete correspondingmachine-readable source code for the Library includingwhatever changes were used in the work (which must bedistributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work isan executable linked with the Library, with the completemachine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object codeand/or source code, so that the user can modify the Libraryand then relink to produce a modified executable containingthe modified Library. (It is understood that the user whochanges the contents of definitions files in the Library will notnecessarily be able to recompile the application to use themodified definitions.)

b. Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with theLibrary. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run timea copy of the library already present on the user's computersystem, rather than copying library functions into theexecutable, and (2) will operate properly with a modifiedversion of the library, if the user installs one, as long as themodified version is interface-compatible with the version thatthe work was made with.

c. Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at leastthree years, to give the same user the materials specified inSubsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost ofperforming this distribution.

d. If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copyfrom a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy theabove specified materials from the same place.



e. Verify that the user has already received a copy of thesematerials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses theLibrary" must include any data and utility programs neededfor reproducing the executable from it. However, as a specialexception, the materials to be distributed need not includeanything that is normally distributed (in either source orbinary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,and so on) of the operating system on which the executableruns, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the licenserestrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normallyaccompany the operating system. Such a contradiction meansyou cannot use both them and the Library together in anexecutable that you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on theLibrary side-by-side in a single library together with other libraryfacilities not covered by this License, and distribute such acombined library, provided that the separate distribution of thework based on the Library and of the other library facilities isotherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a. Accompany the combined library with a copy of the samework based on the Library, uncombined with any other libraryfacilities. This must be distributed under the terms of theSections above.

b. Give prominent notice with the combined library of the factthat part of it is a work based on the Library, and explainingwhere to find the accompanying uncombined form of thesame work.

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute theLibrary except as expressly provided under this License. Anyattempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, ordistribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminateyour rights under this License. However, parties who havereceived copies, or rights, from you under this License will nothave their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain infull compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have notsigned it. However, nothing else grants you permission tomodify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These


108


actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any workbased on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of thisLicense to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on theLibrary), the recipient automatically receives a license from theoriginal licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify theLibrary subject to these terms and conditions. You may notimpose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of therights granted herein.

You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third partieswith this License.

11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patentinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patentissues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of thisLicense, they do not excuse you from the conditions of thisLicense. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneouslyyour obligations under this License and any other pertinentobligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute theLibrary at all. For example, if a patent license would not permitroyalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receivecopies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way youcould satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirelyfrom distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceableunder any particular circumstance, the balance of the section isintended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to applyin other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe anypatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of anysuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting theintegrity of the free software distribution system which isimplemented by public license practices. Many people havemade generous contributions to the wide range of softwaredistributed through that system in reliance on consistentapplication of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decideif he or she is willing to distribute software through any othersystem and a licensee cannot impose that choice.



This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what isbelieved to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certaincountries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, theoriginal copyright holder who places the Library under thisLicense may add an explicit geographical distribution limitationexcluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted onlyin or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, thisLicense incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of thisLicense.

13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or newversions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If theLibrary specifies a version number of this License which appliesto it and "any later version", you have the option of following theterms and conditions either of that version or of any later versionpublished by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library doesnot specify a license version number, you may choose any versionever published by the Free Software Foundation.

14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other freeprograms whose distribution conditions are incompatible withthese, write to the author to ask for permission. For softwarewhich is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write tothe Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions forthis. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preservingthe free status of all derivatives of our free software and ofpromoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THEEXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHENOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHTHOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THELIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOTLIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OFMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULARPURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND


110


PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULDTHE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COSTOF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW ORAGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER,OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/ORREDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BELIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANYGENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIALDAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USETHE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OFDATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE ORLOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR AFAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHERSOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HASBEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
