Storage sensor
The storage sensor discovers the storage that is attached to a computer system.
The following resources are examples of what the sensor discovers:
- Disks
- Partitions
- Logical volumes
- Physical volumes
- File systems
Sensor name that is used in the GUI and logs
StorageSensor
Prerequisites
- For 64-bit Linux targets
- The 32-bit glibc library is required
Limitations
Access to the /dev/dsk directory is not available on Solaris local or branded zone target systems. Therefore, not all storage information is retrieved.
When you discover storage attached to a target computer using the host storage sensor, do not carry out a discovery on the same system using this sensor.
The sensor does not discover the ZFS file systems on the Solaris target systems.
Model objects created
The sensor creates the following model objects:
- dev.BasedOnExtent
- dev.ControlledBy
- dev.Controller
- dev.DiskDrive
- dev.DiskPartition
- dev.FCVolume
- dev.RealizesExtent
