Hi All,<br />
<br />
I am in the process of writing a script that can connect to a Storage and get the required information. I know that the fabric switch has SNMP and I can get some details from the MIB using net-snmp. &nbsp;I have exported the MIB file from the fabric. But it does not have any details of the controller.<br />
<br />
Can someone tell me how do I track the controller from the switch. Because controller is the only place where I can get the information about the storage Box (correct me if I am wrong). I guess we need to use the WWN number but I am not sure how.<br />
<br />
I am using an IBM DS 4500 for &nbsp;my testing.<br />
<br />
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Monitoring Storage

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
