Overview

Universal CMDB can retrieve NetApp network attached storage (NAS) information directly from NetApp Filers and NetApp clusters. Discovery involves synchronizing devices, topology, and hierarchy of storage infrastructure in the UCMDB database (CMDB). This enables change management and impact analysis across all business services mapped in UCMDB from a storage point of view.

The discovery involves a UCMDB initiated discovery on the NetApp WebService API. The discovery also synchronizes physical relationships between various hardware, and logical relationships between logical volumes and hardware devices, to enable end-to-end mapping of the storage infrastructure.
