The Veritas Operations Manager Storage Insight Add-on for Deep Array Discovery and Mapping provides you detailed information on the storage enclosures in your datacenter. By bringing you the information to the level of adapters and disks, the Storage Insight Add-on helps you understand your storage enclosures in a much deeper level.
As part of its deep array discovery capabilities, the Storage Insight Add-on provides you options to understand the IBM XIV storage enclosures in your datacenter in a better way. It makes use of the XCLI utility that communicates to the IBM XIV systems using the TCP/IP protocol. The XCLI utility must be configured on the control host, which must be part of theVeritas Operations Manager domain.
After the Storage Insight Add-on performs the deep array discovery of the IBM XIV enclosures using the XCLI utility, you can view the following additional information on the details page of an IBM XIV enclosure:
To perform this operation, you must have the domain administrator privilege, with an access to the storage views and operations.
