Discovering NetApp Filers
Keep in mind the following:
• SMNP must be enabled on the NetApp Filer before it can be discovered.
• If you want the management server to be able to receive events from a NetApp Filer, you must
add the IP address of the management server to the NetApp configuration. The management
server runs on the same computer running the management server by default.
• You must provide a privileged login, which is one of the following:
•the root user
• a user belonging to the “Administrators” group. This is a predefined group by NetApp.
• a user belonging to a group that has the following roles: api-*, cli-*, login-http-admin, and at
least one of the following: login-console, login-telnet, login-rsh, or login-ssh
• Administrative HTTP access to the device can be restricted through the httpd.access and
httpd.admin.access options. If that is the case, then the management server needs to be
registered with the device. This is done by adding the IP addresses of the management server to
the httpd.admin.access option. More information related to this option is available in the
NetApp documentation.
