IBM FlashSystem Storage Systems
IBM FlashSystem storage systems are discovered using SNMP. When an SNMP discovery of an IP address finds a storage entity, a Storage Device node representing the chassis is created. The creation or confirmation of the Storage Device node triggers the appropriate storage discovery pattern. The storage discovery pattern continues discovery of the storage entity using further SNMP requests to discover the associated storage components. Once discovered, the storage entities are modeled in BMC Atrium Discovery.
Prerequisites
- SNMP version 2c credentials valid for the IBM FlashSystem storage device.
- BMC Atrium Discovery must be on a network that can access the IBM FlashSystem storage device.
Supported Platforms/Versions
- IBM FlashSystem 900
Discovered Storage Information
Vendor Specific Information
No known vendor specific information.
Limitations
SNMP does not provide Storage Connections information (Host name, host, WWPN). However, LUNs NAAs are discovered which enables the host side linking to perform properly.
