Unity SMI-S provider
Hi
Fom my understanding the SMI-S provider has been Embedded directly on Unity itself. I found the SMI-S programmer's guide but I didn't find any way to check if the SMI-S is running on Unity, no CLI, Nothing in the GUI, Nothing in the REST API programmer's guide, well, how can I check the SMI-S on Unity ???????????????
Best Regards

Just because when you are suppose to have data collection on software and finally you have not, you need to check where is the problem, and one way is to be sure the SMI-S is running on Unity.

you could use netstat to check if the SMI-S ports are listening
port number can be found in the Unity security configuration guide
you could also check from Windows using SCVM - see the knowledgebase for instruction on how to setup

If SMI-S service is enabled by default on Unity then which Server IP address do we use to configure Cisco DCNM. Cisco DCNM is asking for the SMI-S Server IP, but when I put the array's IP it doesn't detect it. Is there anything else that we need to do on the array? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I believe it should be the management ip address on port 5989.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.

@DELL-Josh Cr Hi Josh, I had tried that, but it doesn't work. I get the following error:
"add SMIS provider failed: Failed to add SMIS provider Add Provider Failed : Connection failed: Please check the provider configuration"
Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM): Inventory > Discovery > Storage Devices > Add SMI-S:
Vendor: EMC
SMI-S Server IP: X.X.X.X

@DELL-Josh Cr
Unity 880F

I checked the services on DCNM and the SMI-S Agent is running

Can you try discovery with the ipv6 IP instead of ipv4?

@DELL-Josh Cr
I had tried earlier as well as using the DNS name. I still get the same error

Is everything besides SMI-S working fine? Maybe the discovery automation tool will work. https://dell.to/3KwGPe3
