IBM Storage Scale System

Monitor IBM Storage Scale System in IBM Storage Insights by using the call home. You cannot monitor IBM Storage Scale System through data collector.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have your IBM Storage Insights tenant id and access to IBM Storage Scale System GUI or CLI.

Procedure

Enable the call home by using one of the following methods:
- Option A: Log in to the IBM Storage Scale System GUI. Navigate to Support > Callhome and enable the call home.
- Option B: Run the following command to enable the call home:
```
mmcallhome
```
  For more information, see IBM Storage Scale documentation
Run the following command:
```
mmcallhome info list
```
Check the Type column in the output to verify that the call home type is set to production. If the type is not production, change it by running the following command:
```
mmcallhome info change --type production
```
Configure the IBM Storage Insights tenant ID by using the appropriate command for your version:
- For IBM Storage Scale System 7.0.0.0 or later, running the Storage Scale Software version 6.0.0.1 or later, run the following command:
```
 mmcallhome info change --storageinsights-id <tenantID>
```
  Where, tenantID is your IBM Storage Insights tenant id.
- For IBM Storage Scale System 7.0.0.0 or later, running the Storage Scale Software versions earlier than IBM Storage Scale System 6.0.0.1, run the following command:
```
mmsysmonc callhome changeConfig storageinsights-id <tenantID>
```
  Where, tenantID is your IBM Storage Insights tenant id.
After associating the device with IBM Storage Insights, initiate inventory data transfer by running the following command:
```
 /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmcallhome run GatherSend --task DAILY
```

Results

A notification is sent to your IBM Storage Insights to approve the onboarding request. Approve it to start monitoring the IBM Storage Scale System.
