Need help in configuring CIM server for Storage discovery

[Rakesh16i]

Hi,

We are trying to discover Storage devices, so we are in process of setting up a CIM server. We are ab out to use one of our MID server to have CIM /SMI-S agent installed.

So looking for some documentation of pre-requisites and steps to install the CIM server agent.

Also what do we need to have in hand while configuring CIM to have storage connectivity, like testing the ports, credentails, firewalls...

Regards,

Rakesh

Hi Rakesh, Did you manage to run SMI-S agent on MID server or any other servers connected to the storage device. We have a similar requirement and let me know if any. Thanks!

We are trying to run discovery for EMC vmax using local credentials created on the storage device. We validated the credentials by doing direct login ( Using IE) and those seems to be working, however servicenow discovery still gives authentication failed error at Classifier stage (CIM Classify):

Below is the error message:

error="CIM_RegisteredProfile{{RegisteredName='Array'}}.CIM_ElementConformsToProfile{{ResultClass:'CIM_ComputerSystem'}}.ElementName - CIM_RegisteredProfile - Authentication failed." probe_time="188" result_code="900000">

Also, In discovery status - Devices related tab shows class as WBEM service. Storage team confirmed SMI-s provider is already present on storage device.

Please suggest. Also, please confirm what all configuration steps you followed for discovery of storage devices.

Hi Ravindrareddy Duggireddy

How did you implement storage discovery using SMIS-S agent?

Could we install the SMI-S agent on a Mid server?

Appreciate the help
