SMARTS Adapter

[jomccon]

Previously we were pulling information from EMC's SMARTS monitoring tool, which provided SNMP performance information on physical devices.  VMware used to own the management pack for this, but it is no longer published. Has anyone found a way to continue collecting this information?  We're currently running vROPS 6.4.

There are a few options...

1. EMC has there own vRops version which does this. Storage Analytics Download | EMC

2. There is the storage management pack which can be used. Cloud Management Marketplace | Solution Exchange

3. ESA also comes as a management pack you can install. Cloud Management Marketplace | Solution Exchange

ESA covers most of EMCs storage stack.

To add to the list of EMC-focused alternatives to the SMARTS adapter, assuming the devices you are interested in are EMC storage related, you could also look also look at the various Blue Medora vROPs Management Packs:

vROPs Management Pack for EMC XtremeIO

vROps Management Pack for EMC VMAX

vROps Management Pack for EMC VNX
