Discovery of Dell PowerFlex R650's (HCI)

We just got a number of these Dell PowerFlex R650's in stock, they are not on our network yet. 

Has anyone successfully Discovered them using a credentialed-log in?
Or was SNMPv3 used?

If non-Discoverable, what Model Category was used for the Hardware Model record?
Application Server?

 

My understanding is these are in a class of devices known as: HCI Hyperconverged Infrastructure

 

 

Thanks!

Hi David77.

Did you ever get Discovery to work on these devices? What CI Class did you use?

Thank inadvance.

Kenneth, yes we did get that to work, just using the standard Server Discovery pattern. 

Hi David,

Can you please help us with little bit of more information on this?

  • What type of credentials are used for discovering Powerflex devices? is it SNMPv2 or Basic auth?
  • what level of permissions are given?
  • Did you create any custom pattern or using OOB pattern?

We used a UNIX credential that is allowed to run all the commands documented by SErviceNow as needed for discovery.  All OOTB.
