Array setup

Login as administrator and create separate read-only user for monitoring

Agent

• Download latest version of the script and copy it to any directory on the server where agent is running
• Run script by hand to check that it can communicate with the Array's management interface:

./p2000.py -a ARRAY_IP -u USER -p PASSWORD

• If you see no output, add "-d" switch to enable debug output:

./p2000.py -a ARRAY_IP -u USER -p PASSWORD -d

• Configure script as ExternalParametersProvider in nxagentd.conf:

ExternalParametersProvider=/path/to/p2000.py -a ARRAY_IP -u USER -p PASSWORD:60

Check ExternalParametersProvider for more details.
