Installation Details For Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager IP
List extraction Utility
No specific installation needed. This utility is installed by running the Dell MD Storage Array Management Pack Suite 5.0
installer.
Dell_MDStorageArray_ExtractMDListFromMDSM.vbs is a VBScript that is packaged in the Dell MD Storage Array Management
Pack Suite version 5.0. This script helps in extracting and saving the IP addresses of MD Arrays being managed by
the Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) so that they can be managed in your OpsMgr. The saved file
containing the IP addresses must be copied to your SCOM Management Server (OpsMgr) and the contents added
to the dell_MDStorageArray_ip.cfg so that the MD Arrays can be discovered and monitored. The IP addresses are saved in
the format required by the MD Storage Array MP.
NOTE: Run the script as Administrator because the script invokes smclient.exe (installed with MDSM) to retrieve the list of IP
addresses and smclient.exe requires elevation (run as Administrator) when run from the
installed folder. For information on launching the Dell MD Storage Array IP List Extraction Utility, refer the "Dell MD Storage
Array Management Pack Suite Version 5.0 For Microsoft System Center Operations Manager And System Center
Essentials” Installation Guide.
