Dell EMC Isilon discovery
The ServiceNow Discovery application uses the Dell EMC Isilon pattern to find components of Dell EMC Isilon. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
For a complete list of devices and applications that ITOM Visibility can discover, see Detailed information on products discovered by ITOM Visibility.

Prerequisites
Verify Dell EMC Isilon user permissions
Once the application is classified as an Isilon cluster, the discovery process uses REST queries to find information about it. Provide the Dell EMC Isilon user with the following REST API endpoints:
- "https://" + $host + ":8080/platform/3/cluster/config”
- "https://" + $host + ":8080/platform/3/network/interfaces”
- "https://" + $host_ip + ":8080/platform/3/cluster/nodes/”
- “https://” + $host + ":8080/platform/3/zones”
- "https://" + $host + ":8080/platform/3/network/pools”
- "https://" + $host + ":8080/platform/3/storagepool/nodepools”
- "https://" + $host + ":8080/platform/3/storagepool/storagepools”
- "https://" + $host + ":8080/platform/3/protocols/nfs/exports”
- "https://" + $host + ":8080/platform/3/protocols/smb/shares"
- Verify Dell EMC Isilon user roles
The Dell EMC Isilon user must have the following roles:
- ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_PAPI
- ISI_PRIV_AUTH
- ISI_PRIV_DEVICES
- ISI_PRIV_NETWORK
- ISI_PRIV_NFS
- ISI_PRIV_SMARTPOOLS
- ISI_PRIV_SMB
- Create basic authentication credentials
In the Credentials module of the ServiceNow platform, create a basic authentication credential for the same Dell EMC Isilon user. For more information, see Basic authentication credentials.
