NetApp

Integrating NetApp storage with vScope enhances asset visibility by adding detailed information from your NetApp environment. The connection setup varies depending on whether your NetApp system is in Clustered Mode or 7-Mode. Follow the instructions below based on your specific configuration.

---

Requirements

Mode	Target	Credential
Clustered Mode	SVM IP address (not cluster IP)	vsadmin account
7-Mode	IP address of the NetApp Filer	NetApp admin account

By following these steps, vScope will be able to inventory and display detailed data from your NetApp storage system, whether it’s in Clustered Mode or 7-Mode.

Clustered Mode

For NetApp systems in Clustered Mode, it’s recommended to use the SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative Specification) Agent for integration with vScope. The SMI-S agent enables vScope to gather information from your NetApp system efficiently.

1. Download and Set Up the NetApp SMI-S Agent

   • Start by downloading the SMI-S Agent from NetApp’s official site:
     Download the SMI-S Agent.

2. Configure the Target and Credentials

   • Target: Use the IP address of a Storage Virtual Machine (SVM). Note that:
     • The IP should not be a cluster or node management IP; it must be a cluster SVM IP.
     • Only the vsadmin user role is supported for accessing cluster SVMs.
   • Credential: Use the account credentials set up during the SMI-S agent installation.

Note

The SMI-S Agent does not support cluster IPs, node management IPs, or non-admin or node SVMs.

7-Mode (“Non-Clustered”)

If your NetApp system is configured in 7-Mode (non-clustered), follow these steps to add it as a data source in vScope:

1. Set the Target and Credentials
   • Target: Use the IP address of the NetApp Filer.
   • Credential: Use an Admin account credential from your NetApp environment.
