    Prerequisites

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns store app
    Verify the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns store app, version 1.0.96, is installed.
    Verify the CMDB CI Class Models, version 1.42.0, is installed.
    Note:
    The Dell EMC XtremIO storage array pattern 1.0.96 store version was tested only for XtremIO cluster type X2.
    Credentials

    Grant Basic Auth permissions by configuring Basic Auth credentials for RESTful API. Save the admin credentials as Basic Auth credentials to ensure a proper access.

    Run Discovery

    Run Quick Discovery by Target IP. Provide the IP of the XMS (that manage the storage).

    Permissions for REST API queries
    During the discovery, the pattern uses the following API queries. The user that is added to the credentials in the instance must have permissions to run these queries.
    • Get details of XMS by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/xms/<index_id>
    • Get details of Storage Server (Cluster) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/clusters/<index_id>
