PowerVault MD Storage Array devices:

— Launch the Dell Discovery utility (DellDiscoveryUtility.exe) from the ABB toolset folder location where you have

installed the Dell MD Storage Array Management Pack Suite. To discover the Dell PowerVault MD Storage Arrays

in the network, and update the IP listing file (Dell_MDStorageArray_ip.cfg) with the IP addresses of the storage

arrays. Follow the input steps mentioned in the wizard and complete the discovery process to generate the IP

listing file.

— Manually update the Dell_MDStorageArray_ip.cfg file with the IP addresses of the storage arrays in the

network. Ensure that you update the IP addresses (IPv4 format or IPv6 format) in the semicolon separated format, in

a single line. For example — 10.94.1.1;10.94.1.2;10.94.1.3;10.94.1.4;10.94.1.5 or 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:

370:7334;2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7335.

— Use the Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager IP list extraction utility to obtain the list of MD Storage

Array IP addresses configured in the Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager. For more information, see
