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 Station (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 Microsoft System Center Essentials Installation Guide".
