EMC RecoverPoint storage systems are discovered using the REST API. When a REST API 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. Once discovered, the storage entities are modeled in BMC Discovery.

Supported Platforms

• The array must be running EMC RecoverPoint OS 5.0.x or later.
