Configuring the discovery profile

The EMC Storage Scope sensor is enabled by default in the Level 3 discovery profile.

Restriction: The Host storage sensor and the Fibre Channel switch sensor also discover hosts and switches. If both of them are enabled, the resources might be discovered twice.

Create a new profile to modify the following attributes:

discoverHosts

The default value for the discoverHosts attribute is true. The sensor discovers host-related data, for example, ComputerSystem, disks, FC ports, FC volumes, storage volumes, local file systems, and file system services.

If the value is false, host-related data is not discovered by the sensor.

discoverSwitch

The default value for the discoverSwitch attribute is true. The sensor discovers switch related data, for example, switch, switch ports, and FC ports.

If the value is false, switch related data is not discovered by the sensor.

discoverArraySerialNumberStartsWith

By default, the sensor discovers all of the arrays found. You can specify this attribute to limit their number. For example, if you want to discover arrays with a serial number that starts with APM, use the following parameter:

discoverArraySerialNumberStartsWith=APM

arraysDiscoveryChunk

The default value for the arraysDiscoveryChunk attribute is 10. This attribute specifies the number of arrays that are processed by each EMC Storage Scope Details sensor.

Restriction: If the value is to high, the discovery might result in the Out of Memory errors.
