Data ONTAP: Discovery Rule

DataONTAP.Discovery.Rule (Rule)


This is the principal discovery rule for all Data ONTAP storage systems. Once you use the SNMP network device Discovery wizard in System Center Operations Manager to discover your Data ONTAP storage controllers, this rule contacts each storage controller and discovers all of its physical and logical storage elements.

This rule is disabled by default. You should choose which System Center Operations Manager management server will monitor your Data ONTAP storage controllers, and then enable this rule via an override on that management server.

Summary

This is the principal discovery rule for all Data ONTAP storage systems. Once you use the SNMP network device Discovery wizard in System Center Operations Manager to discover your Data ONTAP storage controllers, this rule contacts each storage controller and discovers all of its physical and logical storage elements.

You must have entered credentials using the System Center Operations Manager console action "Manage Data ONTAP Controller Credentials" before this rule can successfully query the controllers.

Configuration

This rule is disabled by default. You should choose which System Center Operations Manager management server will monitor your Data ONTAP storage controllers, and then enable this rule via an override on that management server.

You should create a dedicated management pack specifically for containing overrides and other customizations for each sealed management pack you import.

Resolutions

If you suspect a problem with this rule, check the OnCommand and System Center Operations Manager event logs on the management server running the rule.
