Discovering storage in SCOM

To monitor storage, you must first run the discovery process in System Center Operations Manager (SCOM).

About this task

The clustered Data ONTAP SCOM management pack includes clustered Data ONTAP storage discovery and clustered Data ONTAP virtualization discovery. These are enabled by default.

For the clustered Data ONTAP SCOM management pack, the discovery rules are targeted at a resource pool.

The OnCommand Plug-in for Microsoft discovery and monitoring scripts are called using Windows PowerShell and run under the context of an action account in SCOM. This account should have a Windows profile created to run the PowerShell script. If this account is not used to log in to the SCOM server before running the OnCommand Plug-in for Microsoft SCOM management pack, the discovery and monitoring tasks fail to run the PowerShell script.

Steps

  1. From the SCOM console, click the Monitoring workspace option.
  2. In the navigation tree, click Clustered Data ONTAP > Management Servers.
  3. In the Tasks pane, click Clustered Data ONTAP: Discovery Task.

  4. In the Discovery Task dialog box, select the storage targets on which you want to run discovery and click Run.
  5. To verify which discovery rules are enabled, open a cmdlet window: Debug-OCHost - CheckSettings
