Introduction

Dell Unity XT is a series of mid-range storage systems designed by Dell Technologies, optimized for modern data centers and hybrid cloud environments. Unity XT systems offer a blend of performance, simplicity, and scalability, making them suitable for various workloads, including databases, virtual machines, and file-based applications. It provides unified storage services, combining both block storage (for applications that require direct access to storage volumes) and file storage (for sharing files across a network). Essentially, it is a versatile storage solution that can handle various workloads in data centers, making it easier for organizations to manage their data efficiently.

Use Cases

Discovery

  • It discovers the Dell Unity XT components. The components include Dell Unity XT System, DPE, Host,Storage Pool, Replication Session, Disk, Fan, PowerSupply, StorageProcessor, Storage Resource, SSD, Battery, IO Module, Ethernet Port, SAS Port, and FC Port.
  • Publishes relationships between resources to enable topological visualization and simplify maintenance.
  • Refer to the Hierarchy of Dell Unity XT Resource for detailed structure.

Monitoring

  • Provides metrics related to capacity, usage , availability, performance, and thermal.
  • Generates alerts when metric thresholds are breached to notify administrators of potential issues.
  • For a complete list of supported metrics and details on the default monitoring configurations, see the Supported Metrics and Default Monitoring Configuration.
