Dell EMC PowerMax Storage (REST)

Description

This connector discovers storage systems and collects performance/capacity metrics for Dell EMC PowerMax platforms.

dell emc hardware storage

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Target

Typical platform: Dell EMC PowerMax

Operating system: Storage System

Prerequisites

Leverages: Dell EMC Unisphere REST API v10.1 or higher

Technology and protocols: HTTP

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t storage -c +DellEMCPowerMaxREST --https --http-port 443 -u USERNAME

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: storage
        connectors: [ +DellEMCPowerMaxREST ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          http:
            https: true
            port: 443 # or probably something else
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt

Connector Activation Criteria

The Dell EMC PowerMax Storage (REST) connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• The HTTP Request below to the managed host succeeds:
  • get /univmax/restapi/101/system/symmetrix
  • The response body contains: symmetrixId (regex)
