About the Veritas Operations Manager Array SDK Add-on

Introduction

Veritas Operations Manager provides deep discovery information for storage arrays from multiple vendors. This discovery is enabled through Storage Insight Add-on. If the storage discovery for an array is not supported through Storage Insight Add-on, you can use Veritas Operations Manager Storage Insight SDK Add-on (Storage Insight SDK Add-on). You can use Storage Insight SDK Add-on to create customized array-specific add-ons. The custom add-ons are called Storage Insight plug-ins.

You can use the Storage Insight plug-in to discover various array objects. For example, Physical disks, Logical disks, Physical to logical disk mapping, RAID groups, thin pools, and so on.

You need to deploy Storage Insight SDK Add-on on a host that has the VRTSsfmh package installed on it, and then use Storage Insight SDK Add-on console to create Storage Insight plug-in. A typical Storage Insight plug-in creation process contain various steps. For example, creating discovery script, additional scripts, providing enclosure capabilities, selecting device identifier, and so on.

Once the Storage Insight SDK is deployed, you can access the SDK user interface by typing the following URL in your browser https://<MH hostname>:5634/admin/htdocs/sisdk.html
