Installation Details for Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager IP list
Extraction Utility
No specific installation needed. This utility is installed by running the Dell MD Storage Array Management
Pack Suite 6.0 installer. Dell_MDStorageArray_ExtractMDListFromMDSM.vbs is a VBScript that is packaged
in the Dell MD Storage Array Management Pack Suite version 6.0. This script helps in extracting and
saving the IP addresses of MD Arrays being managed by the Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage
Manager (MDSM) so that they can be managed in your OpsMgr. The saved file containing the IP
addresses must be copied to your SCOM Management Station (OpsMgr) and the contents added to the
dell_MDStorageArray_ip.cfg so that the MD Arrays can be discovered and monitored. The IP addresses
are saved in the format required by the MD Storage Array MP.
Note: Run the script as Administrator because the script invokes smclient.exe (installed with MDSM) to
retrieve the list of IP addresses and smclient.exe requires elevation (run as Administrator) when run from
the installed folder. For information on launching the Dell MD Storage Array IP List Extraction Utility, refer
the "Dell MD Storage Array Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for Microsoft System Center Operations
Manager Installation Guide".
