IBM DS6000/8000 Disk Arrays

Description

This connector discovers the enclosure and the disks of IBM SAN disk arrays, as well as the storage pools and storage volumes. It will also discover and monitor the FC ports, physical and logical disks of the array. It relies on the WBEM technology and supports SMI-S compliant disk arrays only.

Connector ID: IBMDS68DiskArray

This connector supersedes:

SMISDiskArray

Target

Typical platforms: IBM DS6000, DS8000

Operating system: Storage System

Prerequisites

Leverages: IBM SMI-S Agent (IBM System Storage DS6000/DS8000 Storage Manager)

Technology and protocols: WBEM

Examples

CLI

hws HOSTNAME -t storage -f IBMDS68DiskArray --wbem -u USER

hws-config.yaml

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: storage
  selectedConnectors: [ IBMDS68DiskArray ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  wbem:
    protocol: https
    port: 5989
    username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
