Exadata Discovery

Hello Community

Has anyone successfully implemented discovery of Oracle Exadata equipment and environments (http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/exadata/overview/index.html)?

I'm able to discovery the physical computer nodes and classify them as a Linux server, but I'm unable to discovery other components of the environment (storage cells, infiniband switches, PDUs). I've tried looking at the SNMP probe payload when discovering a storage cell, but the only useful information I get back if the name of the cell.

If anyone else is tracking Exadata environments in their CMDB, how are you representing the data? For example, did you set up a new class for storage cells and relate them to a parent physical exadata node? Does it even make sense to have storage nodes, infiniband switches in the CMDB?

Thank you for any help

Rick
