Users Guide

NOTE:

It is recommended to use the Compellent Storage Management IP for monitoring Dell Compellent

Storage Arrays. Using the Compellent Management IP, only SNMP v1 traps can be received. In case

you want to discover the controller IP addresses and monitor the SNMP v2 traps, then perform a full

discovery by disabling the attribute Enable SysName Naming in the advance tab of the Discovery

Configuration page.

If the attribute Enable SysName Naming is enabled and Compellent controller IP addresses are

provided for discovery, then a dummy node will get created in the second and subsequent

discovery cycle and the Controller traps and events will get associated to the dummy node

randomly.
