IBM Spectrum Connect provides management package
in the form of a PAK file which can be deployed on the vRealize Operations Manager.
Although vROps can display IBM® Storage information
even without the management package (storage adapter) installation, the IBM Storage adapter is required for displaying the dedicated dashboards,
graphic icons, and user-friendly attribute names for the IBM
storage elements. The adapter is provided through a PAK file that you need to download, as described
in the following procedure.
To download the PAK file from Spectrum Connect:
Go to Monitoring pane of the Spectrum Connect GUI.
The Set vROps Server dialog box is displayed.
On the bottom of the dialog box, click Download
PAK file.

Alternatively, you can download the package from the following directory on Spectrum Connect:
/opt/ibm/ibm_spectrum_connect/downloads/static/IBM_Storage_Adapter-3.0.0-x.pak,
where x designates the current build number.
Save the file to your computer to later upload it to the vRealize Operations Manager.
