Verifying that Every EMC Disk Arrays are Properly Attached to an EMC SMI-S Provider

Just update ViPR SRM to point to the new Windows 2016 with SMI-S provider.  However, SMI-S complains it cannot retrieve the info of the array.  Confirm ECOM is running and symcfg list shows the VMAX array.

Restart ECOM service and ViPR SRM can retrieve the stats from the array.   However, I try to find out how to confirm EMC SMI-S does detect the array.

Objective

Monitoring EMC disk arrays requires to configure the EMC SMI-S Provider to make sure that the arrays are being discovered. EMC disk arrays are automatically discovered when they are locally attached to the EMC SMI-S Provider. This article explains how to make sure that the EMC SMI-S Provider discovers all disk arrays by using the TestSmiProvider tool.

Procedure

1. Logon to the server where the EMC SMI-S provider is installed
2. Run the TestSmiProvider.exe which can generally be found under “C:\ProgramFiles\EMC\ECIM\ECOM\bin”
   C:\Program Files\EMC\ECIM\ECOM\bin>TestSmiProvider.exe
   Connection Type (ssl,no_ssl) [no_ssl]:
   Host [localhost]:
   Port [5988]:
   Username [admin]:
   Password [#1Password]:
   Log output to console [y|n (default y)]:y
   Log output to file [y|n (default y)]:
   Logfile path [Testsmiprovider.log]:

3. Run the command eq at the prompt
   (localhost:5988) ? eq
   Query Language[DMTF:CQL]:
4. Run the below query
   Query []: SELECT EMC_ArrayChassis.SerialNumber FROM EMC_ArrayChassis

A working provider will return the following for each disk system attached to this provider:
