Dell EMC Configuration Wizard
You can discover Dell EMC devices using the Dell EMC Configuration Wizard. This wizard takes you through a series of
configuration steps where you provide appropriate input required to discover the hosts and associate them with their respective
services. The Dell EMC plug-in validates the inputs at the end of each step before proceeding to the next step and displays
appropriate message prompts or summary.
Dell EMC recommends that you discover a maximum of 255 devices at a time for a better user experience.
The devices are discovered either through SNMP or WSMan protocol or Redfish REST APIs. The monitoring protocols for the
supported devices are as follows:
● Dell EMC Servers can be discovered using SNMP or WSMan protocol or Redfish REST APIs. WSMan is the default protocol.
● Dell EMC Chassis can be discovered using WSMan protocol. WSMan is the default protocol.
Ensure that you only monitor Dell EMC Chassis using local user credentials.
