    I don't believe that information is available via SNMP.  You'll need to use navicli

    you mean there is nothing like trying to monitor disk via snmp.

    if vnx5100 supports smi-s ,we will get disk information by  third party tools

    but vnx5100  only supports snmp  .

    thanks very much.

    you can get capacity information through navicli

    probably also through SMI-S - the SMI-S agent is off-board (needs to be installed on a separate server)

    However the easiest way would be to use product that can already do this like VNX M&R, ESI, UniSphere Remote, ...

    take a look at this for an overview

    https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-24399

    IMHO the simplest way would be to use VNX Monitoring and Reporting (M&R)

    you can download it with a 30/90 day eval license from support.emc.com and the cost for a VNX is lower than anything you could build yourself

    I agree. VNX Monitoring and Reporting is easy to use. Or you would have to write the scripts (to call naviseccli/analyzer and import data to mornitoring system) by yourself, like this guy did:

    Should work

    Search for the SMI-S provider on support.emc.com

    What monitoring application are you using?

    The monitoring application is HDS  ITOA.

    It provides smi-s interface to monitor devices.

    Are you sure that vnx 5100 support smi-s?

    I am not a 100% sure but I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t

    Like I said the VNX block SMI-S provider is not onboard on the VNX SP – it is implemented on a separate Linux or Windows server and talks to the VNX via Solution Enabler.

    Since the Solutions enabler interfaces is the same on all VNX models I don’t see why it wouldn’t support the 5100

    See https://support.emc.com/products/5587_SMI-S-Provider

    If you look at the release notes there is says that VNX series is supported

    If you want to see what SMI-S profiles are supported – see here https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-21446
