Hi,
You should be able to discover NetApp Filers without via the Storage Agent for NAS - please follow the EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1 Planning and Installation Guide Volume 1.
However, I don't have any experience of discovering Filers via the Storage Agent for SMI.

Personally, I haven't come across any case where one has tried to discover a NetApp array via the Storage Agent for SMI. However, NetApp are one of the companies who are part of the SNIA Conformance Testing Program (SMI-S 1.1 & 1.2) so there is no reason why one should not be able to discover an array via SMI in CC 6.x.

Hi,
Is discovering of Netapp in ECC 6.x is still an issue.
We do have few netapp controllers (vseries)and need to know how to discover them in the ECC and Storage scope for correct storage space utlilisation across the datacenter.

I was able to discover Netapp under ECC6.1 using Storage Agent for NAS but for some reason alerting and reporting is not accurate.
If someone has discovered Netapp successfully with accurate reporting..please update

We discovered each Netapp filer controller seperately in ECC console and when ran StorageScope reports the number for raw space, used space and any other numbers were not accurate and this was not just for one filer, it was with number of other filers too; we are running ECC 6.1 UB7

Please open a ticket with engineering, providing details such as the StorageScope and the ECC repository dumps, Storage agent for NetApp log files and the capacity numbers you are expecting to see.

Can you please elaborate on the reporting aspect of it which you consider inaccurate?

I am comparing the number which show UP from Storage Scope with "5.2 NAS -- xxx" and "NAS File Servers" queries with information being displayed in Netapp Filer view and from CLI too.
For example, we have Netapp Filer with 2 controllers and each controller has 84 drives, in total 168 drives
42 - FC drives -- 300GB controlled by controller - A and same number drives controlled by controller - B
42 - SATA drives -- 1TB each controlled by controller - A and same number drives controlled by controller - B
but when I run "NAS Filer Servers" query
NAS Servers: NAS Server Capacity(GB) --- as 101,510.41 GB for each controller/filer
NAS Servers: # File Systems -- 40 and 50 i.e. 40 on filer-B and 50 on filer-A; whereas we got 36(filer-B) and 48(filer-A) filesystem respectively including snapshot filesystems when checked via CLI using "df -g" command.
Even NAS Servers: File System and NAS Servers: Used File System numbers do not match when compared with output and summation all numbers manually
I would also like to know how to go generate reports against Netapp aggregates as well as how to get filer-A capacity i.e. Raw, Allocated and Unconfigured or configured

Can you please upload the STS screenshots?
Can you also please let us know the last discovery time for the NAS server in question?
Please open a defect and also provide us with the repository dump.
Thanks
