Apologies up front - I am a Storage Admin and getting this information second hand from the guy tasked with installing SRM. He is having trouble discovering my EMC Vmax3 400K with SRM. I have installed a SUSE VM (OVA) provided by EMC that includes Solutions Enabler and ECOM/SMI-S server. He is insisting that SRM cannot discover the Vmax until it sees it via SNMP. Since this is a canned OVA from EMC we do not have access to its SNMP configuration, and I have told him that any SNMP info that he pulls from the VM will not include a single bit of information about the storage. Is it correct that the SUSE server must be discovered via SNMP before SRM will communicate with the ECOM/SMI-S server? We are both SRM rookies so any assistance would be appreciated.
