Dell Compellent Storage Center

Description

This connector discovers the enclosures and their related controllers with the monitored Storage Controller. Dell Compellent Controller REST API Version 7 or higher is required. When configuring the HTTP protocol, the port needs to match the port configured on the host's side and the hostname/IP needs to point towards the storage controller.
