Configuration Parameters panel options

Use this wizard panel to provide the user-defined arguments that are required by the discovery script to communicate with the array. For example, array IP address and host name. The agentlet calls the discovery script, and passes the user-defined argument values to the discovery script. The CLI argument name used for each value is defined by the user.

For Edit operation, you can modify the existing parameters, and create another version of Storage Insight Plug-in.

Table: Configuration Parameters panel options

Field

Description

No Configurable Parameters

Select this checkbox to disable the option to provide the configurable parameters.

Display Name

Enter or update the display name for the parameter. After the Storage Insight plug-in is installed successfully on Veritas Operations Manager Management Server, this field is displayed on the Device Configuration panel of the Storage Insight Add-on. Since this parameter is passed to the CLI, you also need to provide the corresponding CLI option for the parameter.

CLI Option

Enter or update the CLI option name for the parameter. The parameter is passed to the discovery script using this CLI option.

Default value

Enter or update the default value for the parameter. It is optional.

Data Type

Select the data type for the parameter. For example, String, Integer, Password, and Boolean.

Mandatory

Specify if the parameter is mandatory.

Command line to be executed for device discovery

As you add configurable parameters, the command is constructed dynamically. The user-defined part of the discovery command line is constructed automatically. It is appended with the predefined command option for discovering a particular object type when the discovery script is run by the agentlet, which is created by the Storage Insight plug-in.

For discovering each object type the discovery script is called with a different command option. But the user-defined part of the command remains the same.

Note:

You can also edit the command. For example, you can add the interpreter to the command, if required.
