Adding an XIV or Spectrum Accelerate system

This section describes how to add an XIV® or Spectrum Accelerate 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 XIV and Spectrum Accelerate 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."

Note: SCOM only accepts non-domain LDAP users.

Procedure

To add an XIV or Spectrum Accelerate 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 or Spectrum Accelerate 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
