Hi Kapil,
When creating the discovery job for the DMX arrays the IP you have to enter is the IP of the EMC SMI-S Provider host.
Also for the access credential the username/password is the username and password of the SMI-S agent which will be the default unless it was manually changed.
The ProSphere Deployment Guide and Administrator Guide will provide additional details information on how to discover arrays in ProSphere. These are available here https://support.emc.com/products/15995 and within the UI "?" > "Search All Documentation"
Ensure you can see the array in question listed for the SMI-S agent. Log in to the TestSmiProvider tool for the SMI-S Provider and run the dv command this will show all the arrays the agent is currently managing.
C:\Program Files\EMC\ECIM\ECOM\bin\TestSmiProvider.exe or /opt/emc/ECIM/ECOM/bin/TestSmiProvider
Regards
Conor

Hi Kapil,
So DRS is a requirement to deploy Prosphere on an ESXi 5.0 cluster?
Thanks!

Hi Seamus,
Yes I opened the case and solution provided was to reinstall the vAPP, which actually resolved the problem.
I have one more query,
How can I discover a DMX box, what to fill in IP range when I create a discover job.
I have completed all the prerequisute but not able to discover the DMX
SMC has prosphere role
SPA is installed
SMIS is latest
Thanks,
Kapil

Thanks Conor,
that helped but seems like I need help in every step for any EMC product
, i had bad experience with ECC before.
now I have another problem with Namespace with TestSmiProvider.exe I can see DMX only with namespace root\emc and I can not see that option in prosphere.
Any idea what is going wrong in here...
Thanks a Ton,
Kapil

Hi Kapil,
This is correct selecting the interop options within ProSphere will do for the Interop Namespace and is the recommended namespace. It will pick up the information from root\emc from the S-SMI Provider. Review the online help for more details.
Did the DMX fully discover in ProSphere when the discover job was run?
If you continue having issues please open an SR for each issue using either the "Join Live Chat" or "Create Service Requests" options from https://support.emc.com/
Also if possible on this forum please open new posts for any new issues you encounter and not just add to this post.
Regards
Conor

Thanks Conor,
I would open a SR, anyways I use interop and DMX was not discovered, it says there might be some problem with access credentials.
Thanks,
Kapil

Hi Kapil,
Ensure the Username and password used is that of the SMI-S agent and not the SMI-S host.
The default user name and password of the SMI-S agent is the following
Username: admin
Password: #1Password
Confirm from a host on the same subnet of ProSphere you can connect/reach the ecom service for the SMI-S agent
http://< Provider IP>>:5988/ECOMConfig
Login with the SMI Provider access credentials when prompted (these are the same details used in the access credentials window in ProSphere)
If the browser fails to connect/display the login page from http://< Provider IP>>:5988/ECOMConfig ensure if a firewall is in place between ProSphere and SMI-S agent host that the port 5988 is opened. Restart the ECOM service on the SMI-S host to ensure it running correctly.
If you have no issue with connecting to http://< Provider IP>>:5988/ECOMConfig and the access credentials are correct open an SR with support
Regards
Conor
