BMC Atrium Orchestrator Application Adapter for EMC® Storage

BMC Atrium Orchestrator Application Adapter for EMC Storage is designed to fully integrate with BMC Atrium Orchestrator and thus is workflow-based on ITIL standards to build and adapt to match IT professionals needs. It enables IT operators and administrators to automate manual repetitive and time consuming tasks required to manage EMC storage devices.

How It Works

BMC Atrium Orchestrator Application Adapter for EMC Storage provides workflow processes that produce XML script files that are interpreted within the Atrium Orchestrator platform. A workflow is composed of a collection of actions designed to produce a specific output form when triggered by a specific event.

BMC Atrium Orchestrator Application Adapter for EMC Storage relies on EMC SMI-S Provider to manage EMC Clariion and EMC Symmetrix devices.

Key Features

The Adapter for EMC Storage enables IT professionals to perform, among many others, the main following operations:

  • Collect Information on storage systems, disks, LUNs, and Storage Pools
  • Provision LUNs and configure the mapping with Storage Pools
  • Decommission LUNs and unconfigure Storage Pools
  • Integrate with BMC Storage Management module

Key Benefits

  • Reduce SAN management costs and project delays due to manual process steps
  • Improve operational efficiency through SAN orchestration
  • Reduce mean time to repair through accelerated,  standardized, and policy-based response to events
  • Improve service quality by eliminating the service disruptions that result from operator and process errors

Supported Devices

  • EMC Symmetrix
  • EMC Symmetrix V-Max
  • EMC Clariion
  • EMC VNX series

Prerequisites

To monitor EMC storage equipment, BMC Atrium Orchestrator Application Adapter for EMC Storage leverages EMC SMI-S Provider (also known as ECOM). EMC Symmetrix disk arrays come with an embedded SMI-S Provider. Interacting with EMC Clariion disk arrays however requires the installation of the EMC SMI­S Provider on a separate Windows or Linux system.
