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 Ravindrareddy,

We have nearly half a dozen device typle in our environment and only able to dicover 1 or 2 of them need your help in getting then added to CMDB, if there is a process document or you could guide us on the same, it would be helpful.

EMC devices (VNX, VMAX, Clarion, XIO, Vplex, Cisco MDS, Netapp, Unity, Atmos, Isilon) Tintri & Backup Appliances - Cohesity Avamar & Datadomain.

We were able to successfully configure only VNX, VMAX, Clarion.

Hi Rakesh,

For EMC storage discovery:  CIM credentials should have Administration role, This will resolve the authentication issue.

As per my knowledge - your CIM credentials might have just monitoring roles.

Thanks
