Getting Started
Management Station Requirements
Generic Requirements
• To discover Dell™ PowerVault™ MD3000/ MD3000i storage arrays and
PowerVault MD1000 storage arrays daisy-chained to MD3000/MD3000i,
the Array Bridge Broker (ABB) is a prerequisite on the management
server.
• Extract the contents of the Dell_MDStorageArray_ABB.exe to the default
location
C:\Dell_MDStorageArray_ABB. The MD Storage Array
management pack scans this default path to access the
DellABB.exe file.
NOTE: If you have multiple management stations, you must extract the
contents of Dell_MDStorageArray_ABB.exe only on one of the management
stations to avoid viewing duplicate MD storage arrays on the SCOM console.
• Ensure that the default IP listing file Dell_MDStorageArray_ip.cfg is
present in the
C:\Dell_MDStorageArray_ABB folder.
• For Microsoft
®
Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) to run
the DellABB.exe file, ensure that there is a minimum disk space of 1 GB
on the management station in an environment where you are managing
a large number of devices.
Dell Discovery Utility
Install the Microsoft .Net 2.0 framework or later on the system where you run
the utility. You must log into the system as a user with administrator
privileges to:
• Run the Dell Discovery utility
• Read and modify the IP configuration file
For more information on the Dell Discovery utility, see the online help
provided with the utility.
