Introduction
Dell EMC PowerMax is the platform, which offers massive scalability in every possible dimension — performance, capacity, connectivity, LUNs/devices and superior data services — all with a future-proof architecture featuring end-to-end non-volatile memory express (NVMe), storage class memory (SCM), built-in machine learning, seamless cloud mobility and deep VMware integration.
OpsRamp integrates with Dell PowerMax through REST APIs.
Prerequisites
- OpsRamp Classic Gateway 14.0.0 and above.
- OpsRamp Nextgen Gateway 14.0.0 and above.
Note: OpsRamp recommends using the latest Gateway version for full coverage of Recent bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
Application Migration
Check for the gateway version as a prerequisite step - classic gateway-12.0.1 and above.
Notes:- You only have to follow these steps when you want to migrate from sdk 1.0 to sdk 2.0.
- For the first time installation below steps are not required.
Disable all configurations associated with sdk 1.0 adaptor integration application.
Install and Add the configuration to that sdk 2.0 application.
Note: refer to Configure and Install the Dell PowerMax Integration & View the Dell Power Max Details sections of this document.Once all discoveries are completed with the sdk 2.0 application, follow any one of the approaches.
- Direct uninstallation of the sdk 1.0 adaptor application through the uninstall API with skipDeleteResources=true in the post request
End-Point:https://{{host}}/api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/integrations/installed/{installedIntgId}
Request Body:{ "uninstallReason": "Test", "skipDeleteResources": true }
(OR) - Delete the configuration one by one through the Delete adaptor config API with the request parameter as skipDeleteResources=true
End-Point:https://{{host}}/api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/integrations/installed/config/{configId}?skipDeleteResources=true.
- Finally, uninstall the adaptor application through API with skipDeleteResources=true in the post request.
End-Point:https://{{host}}/api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/integrations/installed/{installedIntgId}
Request Body:{ "uninstallReason": "Test", "skipDeleteResources": true }

Default Monitoring Configurations
Dell Power Max have default Global Device Management Policies, Global Templates, Global Monitors and Global metrics in OpsRamp. Users can customize these default monitoring configurations as per your business use cases by cloning respective Global Templates and Global Device Management Policies. OpsRamp recommends doing this activity before installing the application to avoid noise alerts and data.
Default Global Device Management Policies
OpsRamp has a Global Device Management Policy for each Native Type of Power Max. You can find those Device Management Policies at Setup > Resources > Device Management Policies, search with suggested names in global scope. Each Device Management Policy follows below naming convention:
{appName nativeType - version}
Ex: dell-power-max PowerMax Unisphere - 2(i.e, appName = dell-power-max, nativeType = PowerMax Unisphere , version = 2)
Default Global Templates
OpsRamp has a Global template for each Native Type of Power Max. You can find those templates at Setup > Monitoring > Templates, search with suggested names in global scope. Each template follows below naming convention:
{appName nativeType 'Template' - version}
Ex: dell-power-max PowerMax Unisphere Template - 2 (i.e, appName = dell-power-max, nativeType = PowerMax Unisphere, version = 2)
Default Global Monitors
OpsRamp has a Global Monitors for each Native Type which has monitoring support. You can find those monitors at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors, search with suggested names in global scope. Each Monitors follows below naming convention:
{monitorKey appName nativeType - version}
Ex: PowerMax Storage Array Monitor dell-power-max PowerMax Storage Array - 2 (i.e, monitorKey =PowerMax Storage Array Monitor, appName = dell-power-max, nativeType = PowerMax Storage Array , version = 2)

Risks, Limitations & Assumptions
- Application can handle Critical/Recovery failure alert notifications for below two cases when user enables App Failure Notifications in configuration
- Connectivity Exception
- Authentication Exception
- Application will not send any duplicate/repeat failure alert notification until the already existed critical alert is recovered.
- Application cannot control monitoring pause/resume actions based on above alerts. Metrics can be used to monitor PowerMax resources and can generate alerts based on the threshold values.
- OpsRamp has provided 443 as default Port value for processing Power max Rest APIs. Users can modify this value from the application configuration page at any point of time if required.
- Power max Event/Alert polling will be started only if the user enables Event Polling in configuration. Possible values of Alert Severity Filter configuration are “NORMAL”,“INFORMATION”,“MINOR”,“WARNING”,“CRITICAL”,“FATAL”. Based on these values alerts will be filtered and users can customize this at any point of time.
- OpsRamp has provided default mappings to map Power max Severity with OpsRamp Severities as part of Alert Severity Mapping configuration. Users can modify them as per their use-case at any point of time from the application configuration page. Possible OpsRamp Severities are Critical, Warning, Ok, Info. Below is the default severity mapping in configuration:
- {“NORMAL”:“Warning”,“INFORMATION”:“Info”,“MINOR”:“Warning”,“WARNING”
:“Warning”,“CRITICAL”:“Critical”,“FATAL”:“Critical”}
- {“NORMAL”:“Warning”,“INFORMATION”:“Info”,“MINOR”:“Warning”,“WARNING”
- In Alert polling, by default alerts are raised on root resource. Users can populate the alert on its actual resource by unchecking the Alert on root Resource checkbox. Users can also mention possible alert cleared status. We consider “ACKNOWLEDGED” and “CLEARED” status as default.
- No support of displaying activity log and applied time.
- This application supports both Classic Gateway and NextGen Gateway
- We are fetching version information using api {}://{}:{}/univmax/restapi/version.
- For all the 9 versions (i.e V9.x.x) we are appending 91 as a prefix in endpoints (
{}://{}:{}/univmax/restapi/91/system/symmetrix
). - For version 10.0 (V10.0.x) we are using 100 as prefix (
{}://{}:{}/univmax/restapi/100/system/symmetrix
).
- For all the 9 versions (i.e V9.x.x) we are appending 91 as a prefix in endpoints (
- PowerMax Storage BE Port and PowerMax Array External Directors are no longer supported in version 4 symmetric Arrays.
- Performance data cannot be captured on remote arrays as APIs cannot fetch its performance data using PowerMax Unisphere IP Address.
