Extracting Dell MD Storage Array IP addresses from Dell
Powervault Modular Disk Storage Manager
The Dell_MDStorageArray_ExtractMDListFromMDSM.vbs is a VB script 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 Dell PowerVault MD Storage Arrays managed by the Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage
Manager (MDSM) so that they can be managed in the OpsMgr. Run this script as an administrator from a
command prompt on a system where MDSM is installed. The IP addresses are saved in the format
required by the Dell MD Storage Array Management Pack Suite. For the Dell PowerVault MD Storage
Arrays to be discovered and monitored on the SCOM Management Server (OpsMgr machine), copy the
saved file containing the IP addresses to the OpsMgr machine and add the contents of the file to the
dell_MDStorageArray_ip.cfg file present in the OpsMgr machine.
NOTE: Run the script as an 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.
