Dell Lasso Utility 4.7.1_A00

Lasso is a Java-based utility that automates the collection of logs and configuration from servers, disk arrays (EqualLogic, PowerVault MD-Series, and EMC), Fibre Channel switches (Brocade, McData, and Cisco), Ethernet and FCoE switches (PowerConnect, Cisco, Brocade, and Force 10) , Enclosures(Dell M1000e Chassis, Dell VRTX Chassis, Dell PowerEdge FX2 Chassis) and Management & Monitoring softwares.
