• Dell PowerVault MD Storage Arrays can only be discovered using the Dell Discover Utility.
• Dell MD Storage Array Management Pack Suite must be installed on the management servers in a management
group that are monitoring Dell PowerVault MD Storage Arrays.
• Dell PowerVault MD Storage Array monitoring configuration recommendation — If the IP listing file is replicated
across the management servers, many instances of Dell PowerVault MD Storage Arrays may be populated in
the views. Since, every additional instance has a load on the device, it is recommended not to replicate the IP
