Dell VxBlock/VBlock

  • Dell Converged systems use Secure Connect Gateway/Dell Technologies Services configured in Converged Management Software (CMS) for data collection.

    To configure Observability data collection, log in to CMS using administrator privileges. Select Settings > Configure Dell Technologies services. Enter the Access Key and PIN. If you do not have an access key and PIN, you can request a new one from the link on the screen. Enter the Software ID (SWID) and click Save.

    Collect the following information from CMS as it is required to complete the onboarding process in Observability:

    • System Serial Number
    • Network Switch Serial Numbers

    Log in to the Observability UI and go to the Admin > Connectivity page. Select ADD VXBLOCK and step through the wizard which prompts the user for the System Serial Number, Core Network Switch A Serial Number, and Core Network Switch B Serial Number.
