Adding an XIV system

This section describes how to add an XIV® system to the list of SCOM-monitored IBM® storage systems.

About this task

SCOM version 2.3.0 includes XIV multi-tenancy support, which applies to XIV microcode version 11.5 or later. To use multi-tenancy support, a non-domain user must have global visibility and then can have access only when the access policy is set to "Open."

Procedure

To add an XIV system to the monitoring list, use -t xiv to specify XIV as the system type, and then specify the IP address (--ip) or host name (--host) of the XIV system, followed by the --username and --password login details.

Example

C:\Program Files\IBM\Storage\Host\IBMStorageSCOM\bin>
scomu.cmd --add -t xiv --ip 192.0.2.10 --username usr4 --password pwd4
