Quantum ScalarTape-Datacollector-Sheet

Introduction

The integration of hardware/software - hereinafter referred to as "system" - into the Ingram Micro COCKPIT not only requires the registration of the systems themselves but also the configuration of the data collection. Data collection is set up centrally via the Data Collection Management (DCM).

Compatibility

Supported system versions

Quantum ScalarTape is supported for the i3, i6 and i6k (i6000) models from firmware version 150G.GS080 or REST-API version 1.01, revision 6-68185-01 Rev D.

Requirements in the Ingram Micro COCKPIT

To set up the data collection, the system must first be created in the Ingram Micro COCKPIT (see FAQs). Navigation to the creation of both asset types in the Ingram Micro COCKPIT Web Frontend:

Creation in the Ingram Micro COCKPIT Web Frontend

  1. In the left bar Configuration -> Assets
  2. In the main window: Add, fill in (at least) the mandatory fields and select "Quantum" -> "Tape Library" -> "Scalar Tape" under "Manufacturer, Asset Type, Product".

Creation in the data collection management

Navigation: "Datacollectors & Assets" -> "Add Datacollector system" -> Selection Vendor: Quantum and Product: ScalarTape

If the system has already been created in the Ingram Micro COCKPIT Web Frontend, the asset can be selected by clicking on "Use existing element".

Configuration notes for data collection management

Field name Required content
Hostname IP or FQDN of the asset (if different from port 443: ip:port or fqdn:port)
Username Username for the Ingram Micro COCKPIT data collection
Password Password for the login with the selected user
Cockpit Reference The entry for the system in the Ingram Micro COCKPIT (is set automatically)
Description A short description of the created asset (free text field)

System access

Users and authorizations

To access a Quantum ScalarTape-Library via http a user account (recommendation: cockpit_svc) with the role 'User' is required.

Network and firewall

The following settings are required for the communication between the data collector and the system:

Source Destination Port (default) Protocol Direction
datacollector-vm Quantum ScalarTape 443 (https) TCP Outbound

Deviations from standard settings, e.g. for the port, must be adjusted accordingly.
