Dell EMC PowerStore Storage Systems are discovered using the Dell EMC PowerStore REST API. When a Dell EMC PowerStore REST API discovery of an IP address finds a storage entity, a Storage Device node representing cluster is created. The creation or confirmation of the Storage Device node triggers the Dell EMC PowerStore Storage Systems (REST) pattern. The storage discovery pattern continues the discovery of the storage entity using further Dell EMC PowerStore REST API requests to discover the associated storage components. Once discovered, the storage entities are modeled in BMC Discovery.

Prerequisites

• Requires BMC Discovery v12.0 and higher.
• A Dell EMC PowerStore user account with Rest API access. The user account must have the permission to perform POST and GET requests:
  1. Create “REST API with basic authentication” credentials in BMC Discovery by providing the Dell EMC PowerStore user account with REST API access
  2. Directly scan the IP Address of the Dell EMC PowerStore cluster.
