Configuring Dell OpenManage IT Assistant to Monitor Your Systems 99
Prerequisites for Dell|EMC
You should have the following software configured to enable the Storage
Integration feature:
• EMC Navisphere Secure CLI on the same system that is running
IT Assistant
• SNMP enabled on your Dell|EMC array
• FLARE operating environment version 19 or later on your
Dell|EMC array
Navisphere Secure CLI
IT Assistant uses Navisphere Secure CLI for getting inventory information
from the storage devices.
The IT Assistant installer detects if the Navisphere
Secure CLI is not installed on the management station and gives you the option
of installing it.
NOTE: EMC releases new versions of Navisphere Secure CLI periodically, and you
may need to update the version of the CLI on the IT Assistant management station.
NOTE: As new versions of IT Assistant are released, the Navisphere Secure
CLI version will be updated.
If your storage environment has storage arrays, you can navigate to the
element manager to manage the Dell|EMC device.
See the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant Online Help for connecting to the
remote array for troubleshooting Navisphere agent issues.
See the EMC Navisphere online help for details on monitoring SNMP alerts.
Setup and Configuration
• IT Assistant supports discovery on Dell|EMC storage arrays (for example,
AX100 or AX150) arrays that have been upgraded to Navisphere Manager.
NOTE: IT Assistant does not manage arrays running Navisphere Express.
NOTE: If you are discovering an AX100i storage array, see the IT Assistant
readme for the latest information.
• IT Assistant uses SNMP for discovering the Dell|EMC arrays. Use the
Navisphere Manager to enable SNMP on your Dell|EMC array, before
it can be discovered in IT Assistant. Set SNMP in Navisphere under the
Network settings of the Storage Processor properties.
