Adding a FlashSystem A9000 or FlashSystem A9000R system

This section describes how to add a FlashSystem A9000 or FlashSystem A9000R system to the list of SCOM-monitored IBM® storage systems.

About this task

SCOM version 2.5.0 includes XIV® multi-tenancy support, which applies to FlashSystem A9000 and A9000R microcode version 12.0.1 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."

Note: SCOM only accepts non-domain LDAP users.

Procedure

To add a FlashSystem A9000 or FlashSystem A9000R system to the monitoring list, use -t a9000r to specify A9000 or A9000R as the system type. Then specify the IP address (--ip) or host name (--host) of the A9000 or A9000R system, followed by the --username and --password login details.

Example

C:\Program Files\IBM\Storage\Host\IBMStorageSCOM\bin>
scomu.cmd --add -t a9000r --ip 192.0.2.10 --username usr4 --password pwd4
