Dell EMC SC Series/Compellent (REST)

Dell EMC SC Series Storage Systems are discovered using the Dell EMC SC Series REST API. During routine discovery, when Unisphere for SC Series is detected, BMC Discovery creates a Storage Device and triggers the Dell EMC SC Series Storage Systems (REST) pattern. The pattern continues the discovery using further Dell EMC SC Series REST API requests. Once discovered, the storage entities are modeled in BMC Discovery.
