Understanding Dell MD Storage Arrays
Management Pack Suite
Dell Hardware Group Definition
The base folder utility, Dell.Connections.HardwareLibrary.mp , defines the
Dell hardware group. The Dell MD Storage Array management pack and other
Dell management packs refer to this base folder utility to group all their
corresponding objects, and display the health status of Dell devices under the
global Dell Hardware group.
After importing this utility, the MD storage arrays management pack displays
the corresponding MD storage arrays under the Dell Hardware group.
When you delete or uninstall the management pack, the corresponding
storage arrays under the Dell Hardware group are removed.
PowerVault MD 3000/3000i Storage Arrays
The MD Storage Array management pack structures the components on a
high level up to the group level, as well as the details of the hardware
components, such as RAID controller, physical disk, power supply, fan, virtual
disk, battery, and enclosures. This management pack defines the rules, tasks,
and monitors for the modeled components.
Figure 1-1 details the components modeled by the Dell MD Storage Arrays
Management Pack.
