The Unity SMI-S provider is always enabled

what makes you think its not working ?

Rainer

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.

regards

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

IVP 6 by default

svc_networkcheck -n | grep -i 5989

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"

let's make sure it is enabled. https://dell.to/3KzDuLg

@DELL-Josh Cr​ Hi Josh, based on the output the service appears enabled as follows:

Unity SPA:

17:35:05 service@unity spa:~/user# svc_networkcheck -n | grep -i 5989

Which Unity device are you using and what is the OE version? What version od DCNM?
