Hi Experts,

Is anyone discovered NetApp Storage Ci's discovered? NetApp works on ONTAP API.

Error Message#  CI Type cmdb_ci_storage_server cannot be created since there are no attributes defined. Debug pattern to understand why no attributes have been assigned.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Vinil.

Hi,

 

Discovered NetApp storage devises so adding solution here to help ITOM community.

I am able to discover NetApp storage CI's today with below steps.

1) Added SNMP v2 credentials. 

Note# after adding SNMP discovery fails at Identification phase then 

2) Added "Basic Auth" credentials with READ-ONLY permissions on applications at "NetApp OnCommand System Manager".

   Applications# Https and ontapi  [Attached screenshot for reference]

Note# Depends on NetApp API you need to add credentials. for ontapi we need to configure Basic auth credentials and for SIM Server we need to configure CIM credentials.

 

Hope this helps!!!

 

Thanks & Regards,

I am not sure about Netapp storage discovery, I see that m netapp storage have the most recent discovery of today and it is running as expected but when I try to rediscover the same server it is saying access is denied. I can see basic auth credentials is configured but not sure how the process is working , Can you give me guidance please
