Overview

Integration involves synchronizing devices, topology, and the hierarchy of a customer storage infrastructure in the HPE Universal CMDB (UCMDB). This enables Change Management and Impact Analysis across all business services mapped in UCMDB from a storage point of view.

Storage Operations Manager (SOM) communicates with UCMDB using Rest APIs via HTTPS protocols.

When you activate the SOM integration, HTTPS protocols retrieve data and saves CIs to UCMDB. Users can then view SOM storage infrastructure in UCMDB.

The data includes information on storage arrays, fibre channel switches, hosts (servers), storage fabrics, logical volumes, host bus adapters, storage controllers, and fibre channel ports. Integration also synchronizes physical relationships between the hardware, and logical relationships between logical volumes, storage pools, storage fabrics, and hardware devices.
