Dell Compellent API · Centreon documentation

Prerequisites

This plugin pack requires the use of:

the Dell Storage Enterprise Manager provided here
NSClient++ package provided by Centreon, installed and configured on your target server as described on documentation

Note: Powershell and DellStorage.ApiCommandSet.dll have to be installed on Windows Server. You'll need to add the file powershell.exe.config in directory C:WindowsSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0.30319"/>
        <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
    </startup> 
</configuration>

Note: If you use the NSClient++ installer provided by Centreon, the plugin is already included in centreon_plugins.exe configured in NSClient++

Note: The plugin uses the Compellent Entreprise Manager. So you need information to connect.

Warning: Set host macro CEMUSER, CEMPASSWORD, CEMADDRESS, DELLSTORAGESDKDLL (the complete path of DellStorage.ApiCommandSet.dll file)
