EMC SMI-S Agent (ECOM)

Description

This connector discovers the enclosure and the disks of EMC SAN disk arrays, as well as the storage pools and storage volumes. It will also discover and monitor the FC ports of the array and the various environment sensors when available (temperatures, fans, power supplies, etc.). It relies on the WBEM technology and supports SMI-S compliant disk arrays only.

Connector ID: EMCDiskArray

This connector supersedes:

Target

Typical platforms: EMC Symmetrix, EMC VMAX, EMC CLARiiON, EMC VNX

Operating system: Storage System

Prerequisites

Leverages: EMC SMI-S Agent (ECOM)

Technology and protocols: WBEM

Examples

CLI

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

hws-config.yaml

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: storage
  selectedConnectors: [ EMCDiskArray ] # Optional, to load only this connector
