The server portion of storage discovery has been improved in 8.3, with our discovery of HBA cards being deepened and extended.

We'll address the SAN side of storage in a further version of ADDM.

I am not sure to get your question.

For information about 8.3 implementation of HBA (Host Bus Adaptor) cards see HBA section of New in this version page, HBA Information section of Viewing a host and Fiber Channel Nodes pages. File System Node page also helps.

Since we're in the Dark Ages at ADDM 8.3 from a Storage Discovery perspective, is there any intel on processes by which Storage Data are imported via CSV into the "Storage" and "StorageCollection" nodes within ADDM 8.3?  Taking a cursory look at the taxonomy, this feat doesn't appear to be especially difficult.  Further, relating the "Host" nodes to "Storage" nodes via the HBA discovery of WWN's would no doubt be a boon to pretty much anyone with more than 1TB of spinning disk.

It's a little like creating a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bear skins at the moment.

As far as I know, ADDM does not  support storage discovery,

maybe you can customize something with SNMP access

Kind regards

Storage discovery is a top priority for our product development, and this is a broad topic.

BMC product management is conducting a survey in an effort to ensure we meet your needs and build a roadmap that will make ADDM comprehensively address your storage management concerns over time.
