HIT/ME Tools Components Component Description Remote Setup Wizard (RSW) Initializes a PS Series storage array Remote Setup Command Line Interface (RSWCLI) Provides a command-line alternative to the Remote Setup Wizard. Also enables you to configure multipath I/O settings and configure access to a PS Series group. Multipath I/O device-specific module (MPIO/DSM) Supports redundant network paths between a computer and the PS Series group for high availability and high performance. Auto-Snapshot Manager/Microsoft Edition (ASM/ME) Creates and manages Smart Copies (snapshots, clones, and replicas of PS Series iSCSI volumes). Use the alternate command-line interface, ASMCLI, for custom operations and scripting. VSS Provider Used by Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to manage application- consistent Smart Copies Virtual Disk Service Provider (VDS) Used by VDS version 1.1 and Storage Manager for SANs to create and manage volumes in a group Storage Management Provider (SMP) Manages storage groups on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012 R2 or later operating systems PowerShell Tools Manages one or many PS Series groups through a comprehensive set of PowerShell Tool cmdlets EqualLogic MPIO Configuration Tool EqualLogic MPIO Configuration Tool is a new Graphical User Interface (GUI) application (EqlMPIOConfigurator.exe), which provides same user interface as the HIT/ME MPIO Configuration tab. Supported Versions of the Windows Operating System The following tables list supported versions of the Windows operating system and identify Host Integration Tools components that do not support specific operating system versions. NOTE: The capability to import EqualLogic storage to PowerStore is supported for PS Series version 10.0.3 with Microsoft® Windows Server 2012 R2 and Microsoft Windows Server 2016. 2 NOTE: If the Host Integration Kit is installed with the capability to import EqualLogic volumes to a PowerStore array, see the Importing External Storage to PowerStore Guide for supported operating systems. Table 2. Windows Desktop Operating System Support Component Windows 10 RSW Yes Remote Setup CLI Yes MPIO/DSM No ASM/ME No VSS Provider No VDS Provider No PowerShell tools Yes Storage Management Provider (SMP) Yes Rethinning driver No EqualLogic MPIO Configuration Tool No Table 3. Windows Server and Server Core Support Component Windows Server Windows Server Core 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 RSW Yes No Remote Setup CLI Yes Yes MPIO/DSM Yes Yes ASM/ME Yes No VSS Provider Yes Yes VDS Provider Yes Yes PowerShell tools Yes Yes Storage Management Provider (SMP) Yes Yes Rethinning driver No No EqualLogic MPIO Configuration Tool Yes No Requirements To install and use HIT/ME, your environment must meet the firmware and software requirements listed in the following table. You cannot use an unsupported instance of an application (such as SQL) on the same computer as a supported instance. Doing so might cause HIT/ME to operate incorrectly. HIT/ME supports only the host bus adapters (HBAs) specified in the following table: NOTE: During installation, the HIT/ME kit disables the MPIO Path Verification for devices claimed by the Dell EqualLogic MPIO DSM. This step prevents a potential problem that could introduce a delay in reconnecting to iSCSI volumes during a Dell EqualLogic PS Series firmware update or controller failover. Table 4. Supported Software and Firmware Versions Product Revision PS Series firmware For all operating systems, use PS Series firmware version 9.x or later 3 Table 4.

Usage Constraints The following usage constraints exist in this release of HIT/ME: Windows Server 2012 R2 or Later and Windows 10 This section describes usage constraints that are specific to Windows Server 2012 R2 or later and Windows 10 operating systems. Incorrect Report of a Device as In-Use Windows Server 2012 might incorrectly notify you that a device is in use when you try to log out from an iSCSI target. This issue can occur even though no application is using files on any volume associated with the iSCSI target. 4 Consequently, the relevant task wizards in Auto-Snapshot Manager (or ASMCLI commands) such as Unmount, Logoff, or Delete might display a Volume in use error. If you encounter this problem and you are certain that no application is using the volume, you can select the Ignore option in Auto-Snapshot Manager or you can set the disk offline on Windows Server 2012 by using the following procedure: CAUTION: Following this procedure (using either the ASM/ME GUI or the ASMCLI) when one or more files are in use might result in data loss or corruption. 1. Identify the correct iSCSI target. 2. Launch the command prompt by clicking Start → Run, then type cmd. 3. Enter diskpart at the Windows command prompt to display the DISKPART> prompt. 4. Enter list volume to list all volumes known to Windows. 5. Examine the column headed Volume ### and identify the volume (or volumes) associated with the iSCSI target. 6. Enter select volume volume_name, where volume_name is the volume that you identified in the previous step. 7. Enter offline disk to set the physical disk for the volume offline. 8. Enter exit to close the diskpart menu. 9. Enter exit to close the command window. After setting the disk offline, you can successfully log out from the iSCSI target using the iSCSI initiator GUI or CLI. Unsupported PowerShell Cmdlets for Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012 R2 or Later The Storage Management Provider (SMP) does not support the following PowerShell cmdlets in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012 R2 or later: ● New-StoragePool ● Remove-StoragePool ● Add-PhysicalDisk ● Add-VirtualDiskToMaskingSet ● Rename-MaskingSet ● Repair-VirtualDisk ● Set-PhysicalDisk ● Set-ResiliencySetting ● Reset-PhysicalDisk ● Remove-InitiatorId HIT Must Be Installed on Each VM in a Windows Server Configuration In a Windows Server configuration using Cluster Shared Volumes, HIT/ME must be installed on each VM. Installing HIT/ME ensures Smart Copies of VMs will work correctly in all configurations, including Enterprise, Datacenter, Core, or any other Windows Server release configuration. This requirement applies whether you start the Smart Copy operation or when you create a schedule from the VM or the Volume node in the ASM/ME GUI. If HIT/ME is not installed on each VM, you can create a Smart Copy, but an error displays stating that ASM/ME could not open a connection to the VM. The Smart Copy will not be file-system consistent, but is crash consistent with respect to the file system in the VM. You might have to run the chkdsk utility the next time the VM restarts. 5 Cluster Shared Volume VSS Writer Does Not Report Remote VMs Under rare circumstances the Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) VSS Writer in Windows Server 2012 does not report remote VMs. This omission results in remote VMs not being included in Smart Copies of Cluster Shared Volumes.

  • How to Re-Register Vss Dll Binaries (32 Bit)
    QBR Knowledge base HOW TO RE-REGISTER VSS DLL BINARIES (32 BIT) SCOPE The command vssadmin list writers does not produce an output then following commands will help to re-register the VSS Service's associated DLL binaries. There may be other reasons in which QBR support may also ask to run this batch file besides the inability to list the VSS Writers of the OS. One of the most common causes for needing to perform these steps is that there has been a conflicting VSS-aware application being run on the protected machine. Please ensure that any other VSS-aware process is removed, including scheduled shadow copies in the OS, this will ensure further long term stability and reliability for the SnapToVM Agent to perform. Please note this will only work on 32bit systems, if you have a 64 bit system there is a separate article on this KB for you. TO RE-REGISTER VSS BINARIES AND SERVICES Run the following commands from within cmd.exe running with Administrative privileges cd /d %windir%\system32 net stop vss net stop swprv regsvr32 ole32.dll regsvr32 oleaut32.dll regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll <--This will fail to register on Vista & 2008 and newer which is OK regsvr32 vss_ps.dll vssvc /register regsvr32 /i swprv.dll regsvr32 es.dll <-- This will fail to register on Vista & 2008 and newer which is OK regsvr32 stdprov.dll regsvr32 vssui.dll <-- This only applies to server2003\server2008 regsvr32 msxml.dll <---This may not be installed and may fail to register which is OK regsvr32 msxml3.dll <---This may not be installed and may fail to register which is OK regsvr32 msxml4.dll <---This may not be installed and may fail to register which is OK Please reboot the machine if you have any trouble testing the VSS with the VShadow tool below.

  • Getting Started with WMI Weaponization – Part 4
    Getting Started with WMI Weaponization – Part 4 written by Alexander Polce Leary | April 13, 2017 Stealing the NTDS.dit File Remotely using the WMI Win32_ShadowCopy Class Dumping password hashes is a pretty common task during pentest and red team engagements. For domain controllers, it can be done a number of different ways including, but not limited to, DCSync (drsuapi), lsadump, and parsing the ntds.dit directly. Sean Metcalf has already covered how to execute the password hash recovery both locally and remotely in an amazing blog. Each with its own set of IoCs. In this post I’ll cover yet another method for recovering the ntds.dit file remotely using WMI Volume Shadow Copy methods, but the methods described here could also be used to retrieve local password hashes from the SAM and SYSTEM file. Please note the technique described here does require domain administrative privileges. Why would I use this technique? On the whole, this technique will provide penetration testers with another means of dumping the ntds.dit via volume shadow copies without having to call the vssadmin.exe tool. This helps to decrease the number of indicator related to the attack. Testing with this method can also help to push against blue team’s defense to make sure they can identify slight variations on this common attack. Let’s See Some Command Examples Let’s just jump right into it. Below are the PowerShell WMI commands to dump the ntds from a remote domain controller using the Win32_ShadowCopy class functions. 1. First, map the c$ of the target domain controller.
