8 Architectural Information
The software-only TOE is the EMC CLARiiON FLARE v4.29 with Navisphere v6.29
running on CX4 Series Storage Systems which consists of a variety of purpose-built
appliances.
The EMC FLARE software is a Storage Operating Environment (SOE) optimized for
implementation of RAID storage architectures, providing fault-tolerance and data integrity. It
enables the use of virtual storage elements or logical units (LUNs) to improve performance
and capacity utilization. FLARE also implements a technology called Access Logix, which
lets multiple hosts share a storage system by using Storage Groups. A Storage Group is one
or more LUNs within a storage system that is reserved for one or more hosts and is
inaccessible to other hosts. Access Logix enforces the host-to-Storage Group permissions.
Navisphere is a storage-system management application for configuring, monitoring, and
managing EMC CLARiiON® storage systems. It resides on each storage system Storage
Processor (SP) and is downloaded to the browser when the Storage Management Server
software is accessed. The Navisphere application includes two major software
subcomponents; the Storage Management Server and the Navisphere Manger (see details
below). Navisphere provides the following basic functionality:
• Discovery and monitoring of CLARiiON storage systems
• Storage configuration and allocation

• Status and configuration information display
• Event management
The Storage Management Server software is provided with Navisphere and executes on each
SP in a storage system, and performs the following functions:
• Receives and responds to requests from Navisphere Manager
• Forwards status and configuration updates to Navisphere Manager
• Replicates user and domain information to all storage systems in the storage domain
• Authenticates and authorizes users
• Logs all user logins and requests
Navisphere Manager is a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) to the Navisphere
application that provides for the secure management of CLARiiON® storage systems using a
common browser. Many of the management functions can also be accomplished using the
Navisphere Secure Command Line Interface (CLI), a set of commands that can be executed
in non-graphical environments. Access to these management interfaces is controlled by an
authentication function that allows for user accounts defined within Navisphere.

11 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of the EMC CLARiiON,
including the following areas:
Development: The evaluator analyzed the EMC CLARiiON functional specification and
design documentation, and determined that the design completely and accurately describes
the TOE security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the TSF
implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluator analyzed the EMC
CLARiiON security architectural description and determined that the initialization process
was secure and that the security functions are protected against tamper and bypass. The
evaluator also independently verified that the correspondence mappings between the design
documents were correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluator examined the EMC CLARiiON preparative user
guidance and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and
unambiguously described how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration
and how to use and administer the product. The evaluator examined and tested the
preparative and operational guidance, and determined that they were complete and
sufficiently detailed to result in a secure configuration.
Life-Cycle Support: An analysis of the EMC CLARiiON configuration management
system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluator found that the EMC
CLARiiON configuration items were clearly marked. The developer’s configuration
management system was observed during a site visit, and it was found to be mature and well-
developed.

The evaluator examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of EMC CLARiiON during distribution to
the consumer.
The evaluator reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by EMC for EMC CLARiiON.
During a site visit, the evaluator also examined the evidence generated by adherence to the
procedures. The evaluator concluded that the procedures are adequate to track and correct
security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and corrections to consumers of the
product.
Vulnerability Assessment: The evaluator conducted an independent vulnerability analysis
of EMC CLARiiON. Additionally, the evaluator conducted a review of public domain
vulnerability databases. The evaluator did not identify any potential vulnerabilities
applicable to the EMC CLARiiON in its operational environment.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
12 ITS Product Testing
Testing at EAL 2 consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
12.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluator verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR2
.
The evaluator analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification and TOE design was complete.
12.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation, examining the developer's test documentation,
executing a sample of the developer's test cases, and creating test cases that augmented the
developer tests.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach was the
following list of EWA-Canada test goals:

a. Initialization: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the TOE can be installed
and configured into the evaluated configuration, as identified in the TOE Description of
the Security Target, by following all instructions in the developer’s Installation and
Administrative guidance;
b. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests on the evaluator’s TOE installation; and
c. Independent Evaluator Testing: The objective of this test goal is to exercise the TOE’s
claimed functionality through evaluator independent testing and to augment any areas
that were not covered during the repeat of developer testing.
12.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Generic vulnerabilities;
b. Bypassing;
c. Tampering; and
d. Direct attacks.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
anticipated operating environment.
12.4 Conduct of Testing
EMC CLARiiON was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented,
independent functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the developer’s QA
facility in Westborough, Massachusetts to leverage the existing lab and available hardware.
The CCS Certification Body pre-approved the draft test plan and has previously witnessed
independent testing at this location by an EWA-Canada evaluator. The detailed testing
activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed
results are documented in a separate Test Results document.
12.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
giving assurance that the EMC CLARiiON behaves as specified in its ST, functional
specification, TOE design, and security architecture description.
