Sources of IDI Problems
Common IDI Opening Problems
Missing Enterprise Virtual Array
When trying to open your IDI file, you get the error "Can't Open IDI File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Enterprise Virtual Array isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: When another IDI application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Enterprise Virtual Array Requires Update
Your EVA Controller Event Log file is incompatible with Enterprise Virtual Array because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Enterprise Virtual Array if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your EVA Controller Event Log file was created by a different (newer) version of Enterprise Virtual Array than what's installed.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the IDI file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening IDI files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
