Multiple virtual machines belong to a single cluster. All of these virtual machines can be specified as discovery targets. These virtual machines must be part of a domain.

The NAS configuration must point to the cluster (name or IP address) with credentials that have read access to the cluster. These would typically be administrator credentials.

NetApp 7 Mode

In NetApp 7 mode, data can be collected on the storage controller or vFilers that are derived from the storage controller. Credentials with read access to the controller and vFiler are required.

NetApp Storage Controller

In NetApp 7 mode, data can be collected on the storage controller or vFilers that are derived from the storage controller. Credentials with read access to the controller and vFiler are required.

NetApp Filer

The vFiler can be a discovery target. In this case, the NAS configuration must point to the storage controller from which the vFilers are derived and the credentials must have read access to the storage controller.

Dell Fluid FS

The discovery target can be any Fluid FS VM. The NAS configuration must be the machine name or IP where Dell Enterprise Manager is installed and credentials must have access to Dell Enterprise Manager.

The discovery target can be any Isilon virtual machine. The NAS configuration must be the machine or IP that hosts the OneFS administration site and the credentials must have read access to it. By default, the connection is established using https and, if the connection is not deemed to be secure, the discovery will fail.
