ServiceNow Discovery uses the Dell EMC XtremIO storage array pattern to find Dell EMC XtremIO storage array components. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

Request apps on the Store

Visit the ServiceNow Store to view all the available apps, and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the ServiceNow Store version history release notes.

Prerequisites

  • Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns store app

    Verify the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns store app, version 1.0.96, is installed.

    Verify the CMDB CI Class Models, version 1.42.0, is installed.

    Note: The Dell EMC XtremIO storage array pattern 1.0.96 store version was tested only for XtremIO cluster type X2.

  • Credentials

    Grant Basic Auth permissions by configuring Basic Auth credentials for RESTful API. Save the admin credentials as Basic Auth credentials to ensure a proper access.

  • Run Discovery

    Run Quick Discovery by Target IP. Provide the IP of the XMS (that manage the storage).

  • Permissions for REST API queries

    During the discovery, the pattern uses the following API queries. The user that is added to the credentials in the instance must have permissions to run these queries.

    • Get details of XMS by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/xms/<index_id>
    • Get details of Storage Server (Cluster) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/clusters/<index_id>
    • Get details of Storage Node Element (Bricks) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/bricks/<index_id>
    • Get details of Storage Disks (SSDs) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/ssds/<index_id>
    • Get details of Storage Enclosure (DAEs) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/daes/<index_id>
    • Get details of Storage Switches (Infiniband Switches) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/infiniband-switches/<index_id>
    • Get details of Battery Backup Units (BBUs) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/bbus/<index_id>
    • Get details of Storage Controllers by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/storage-controllers/<index_id>
    • Get details of Storage Ports (targets) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/targets/<index_id>
    • Get details of Disks (local disks) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/local-disks/<index_id>
    • Get details of Initiator Groups by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/initiator-groups/<index_id>
    • Get details of Fibre Channel Ports (initiators) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/initiators/<index_id>
    • Get details of Fibre Channel Disks (Volumes) by index_id https://<IP>/api/json/v2/types/volumes/<index_id>
  • The new Configuration Item (CI) that is classified:

    Initiator Group.
