Add NetApp FAS

You can add NetApp FAS entities using the Add Entity UI or using the cloud agent command line interface (omcli) with the appropriate JSON files.

Step 1: Decide how you want to add the NetApp FAS.

You can add NetApp FAS entities using one of two ways:

• Add them from UI
• Use the agent's omcli add_entity command with the appropriate JSON files

Adding Entities from the UI

1. From the Management Cloud main menu, select Administration, Discovery, and then Add Entity. The Add Entity page displays.
2. Select the NetApp FAS Entity Type.
3. Enter the following UI properties.

   NetApp FAS UI Fields

   Entity Name: Name of this entity displayed in the Oracle Management Cloud console. Host Name: Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP of the NetApp storage. SNMP Port: Port to use for SNMP communication with NetApp storage. SNMP Timeout: Timeout for SNMP communication with NetApp storage. SNMP Version: Version of SNMP protocol to use for communication with NetApp storage. SNMP Community: SNMP community string to use for communication with NetApp storage. Cloud Agent: Cloud agent monitoring the host where NetApp FAS is installed.

See Add Entities from the Console for detailed instructions on using the Add Entity UI.

Using omcli and the Appropriate JSON Files

1. Download and extract the required JSON file(s) from the master JSON zip file. See the table below for the specific JSON files you'll need.
2. Edit the file(s) and specify the requisite properties shown below.

   NetApp FAS JSON Files and Properties

   Definition File: omc_netapp_fas_sample.json host_name: Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP of the NetApp storage. omc_snmp_port: Port to use for SNMP communication with NetApp storage. omc_snmp_timeout: Timeout for SNMP communication with NetApp storage. omc_snmp_version: Version of SNMP protocol to use for communication with NetApp storage. omc_snmp_community: SNMP community string to use for communication with NetApp storage. Credential File: omc_netapp_fas_snmp_sample_creds.json authUser: Name of a privileged user for SNMP communication. authPwd: Password for a privileged user for SNMP communication. authProtocol: Encryption protocol to be used for SNMP communication. privPwd: Password for SNMP communication.

3. Add the entity using omcli.

   omcli add_entity agent DEFINITION_FILE [-credential_file CREDENTIAL_FILE [-encryption_method_gpg]] 

4. Verify the status of the newly added entity.

   omcli status_entity agent DEFINITION_FILE

See step 4. Adding Entities to Your Service of Add Entities Using JSON Files for more information.

Step 2: (Optional but recommended) Set up alerts.

To enable lights-out monitoring, you can set up alert rules to generate alerts and send notifications if your entities have performance issues.

See Set Up Alert Rules and Set Up Alert Thresholds and Notifications.

Troubleshooting

If you run into any issues regarding discovery or monitoring of NetApp FAS, see the following:
