Oracle ZFS Storage Systems (REST)

Oracle ZFS systems are discovered via the embedded Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance RESTful API. As part of routine discovery, when an Oracle ZFS storage system is encountered, BMC Discovery creates a storage device node and triggers the pattern. The pattern continues the discovery using further REST API requests. Once discovered, the storage entities are modeled in BMC Discovery.

Prerequisites

• BMC Discovery v12.0 or higher.
• A user account with REST API access
• Port 215 added to the list of HTTPS ports under “Administration → Discovery Configuration.

Procedure

Initial setup

1. Go to “Manage → Credentials”,
2. Add new credentials of type “REST API with basic authentication”
3. Provide the user account with REST API access
4. Add port 215
5. Click Apply.

Test credentials

To prevent discovery issues due to invalid credentials, it is recommended to test your credentials before running a scan:

1. Go to “Manage → Credentials”
2. Click the "Action → Test" menu next to the credentials entry
3. In the Test URL field, type https://<IP> or <HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/api/system/v1/version. Port is 215 by default
4. Click Test. 

If your test is successful, scan the IP Address of the Oracle ZFS storage system.
