Adding a Storwize V3500 system

This section describes how to add a Storwize® V3500 system to the list of SCOM-monitored IBM® storage systems.

Procedure

After the --add command, specify the following parameters (CLI arguments followed by values):
  • IP address (--ip) or host name (--host) of the Storwize V3500 system.
  • Type of system to be added (-t) – Use "storwize" to specify Storwize V3500 as the system type.
  • Authentication mode (--authmode) – You can specify the public key mode (publickey), or, if you are using microcode version 6.3 or later – you can specify the password mode (password).
    • If the public key authentication mode is used, enter the authentication user name (--username) and then the folder location and name of the private SSH key (--certpath). If the SSH requires a passphrase (--passphrase), enter it as well.
      For example: 
      C:\Program Files\IBM\Storage\Host\IBMStorageSCOM\bin>
scomu.cmd --add -t storwize --ip 192.0.2.10 
--authmode publickey --username john1 --certpath c:\storwize.cert --passphrase xxxxx
Connecting to the device ...
1 IBM Storwize V3500 Storage System is found.
cluster ID: xx, code level: x.x.x.x, location: local

The connection is OK.

New connection is added.
    • If the password authentication mode is used (applicable only to microcode version 6.3 or later), enter the authentication user name (--username) and then the authentication password (--password).
      For example:
      C:\Program Files\IBM\Storage\Host\IBMStorageSCOM\bin>
scomu.cmd --add -t storwize --ip 192.110.20.10
--authmode password --username john1 --password xxxxxxxxxx
