Hello Community!
I have set up EMC Isilon devices in Discovery and am very happy with the results, except for one thing: there is no relationship from the Storage File Share CI to the Server on which it is mounted.
As a solution for Linux Servers, I've...
- Developed a custom Probe that is triggered by the Linux - Storage Sensor, that returns the NFS File System paths,
- Developed a custom Sensor that takes each NFS File System path and creates a relationship to the Server being discoved to any Storage File Share CIs with a matching path.
Now the CIs from the EMC Isilon discovery are related to the rest of the CMDB.
My question is, has anyone else attempted to relate EMC Isilon CIs to other CIs, like Server, NAS File System, Business Applications, etc.? If so, what was the idea; what is the best way to go about this?
The Probe and Sensor code is below for reference:
#!/bin/sh
MOUNTS="`cat /proc/mounts 2>&1`"
if [ "`echo $?`" == "1" ]; then
echo "ERROR: Unable to cat /proc/mounts. $MOUNTS"
elif [ "$MOUNTS" == "" ]; then
echo "ERROR: No information returned for cat /proc/mounts"
else
echo "$MOUNTS" | grep nfs | while read MOUNT; do
if [ "`echo $MOUNT | cut -d' ' -f3`" == "nfs" -o "`echo $MOUNT | cut -d' ' -f3`" == "nfs4" ]; then
echo $MOUNT | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -d':' -f2

var discoStatusSysID = discoFunctions.getStatusRecord();
if(discoStatusSysID) {
