VNX NAS file system addition to SMI-S provider
Hi,
I am new to storage. I wanted to add VNX arrays to SMI-S provider in order to discover them through third party tools eventually. I installed Solutions Enabler 7.6 with SMI provider on a different host. I have been able to add the VNX SAN arrays into the SMI-S provider and discover it successfully. But I am unable to add the VNX file system to the same SMI-S provider.
Any step on how to add it to SMI-S or does it requires any additional software to manage it? I saw a few posts on EMC celerra simulator but I could not understand much from it.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello AaBb11,
Which version of SMI-s provider are you using?
Please note that the SMI-S Provider 4.6 and below with Solutions Enabler 7.6.X and below were the last versions to support VNX and CLARiiON arrays.
Solutions Enabler 8.X no longer supports VNX & CLARiiON arrays. Please see the 8.x Solutions Enabler release notes for more information. https://dell.to/3aJ66Nt
Please see: Troubleshooting SMI-S Provider for Windows KB 469895 Troubleshooting SMI-S Provider for Windows for more information.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello,
I am using Solutions Enabler 7.6 x with SMI-S provider 4.6 version. I was able to add the SAN VNX arrays into it successfully.
I am having trouble with the VNX 5400 file share system(NAS system)
I need to know if this version also supports addition of NAS VNX arrays. If not, what are the alternatives?
