Create a serverless discovery schedule to run IBM Flash System storage discovery.

## Before you begin

* Verify that the MID Server is active and can reach the following REST API endpoints on the IBM Flash System array:
  * `POST /rest/v1/auth`
  * `POST /rest/v1/lssystem`
  * `POST /rest/v1/lsmdiskgrp`
  * `POST /rest/v1/lsvdisk`
  * `POST /rest/v1/lsportfc`
  * `POST /rest/v1/lsenclosurecanister`
  * `POST /rest/v1/lsdrive`
  * `POST /rest/v1/lsfabric`
  {#create-serverless-schedule-ibm-flash__ul_qdy_jkr_fkc}
* Create an alias for a basic authentication credential. For more information, see [Create an alias for a basic authentication credential for IBM Flash System discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/fX_wGhOWEQ24pHfnIn_v8A "Create an alias for a basic authentication credential to run IBM Flash System discovery.").
* Verify that you have at least version 1.35.1 of Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns.
* Retrieve the following values from your IBM Flash System array:
  * Management IP address
  * REST API port (typically 7443)
