To use one of the Dell PowerVault MDi sensors, it needs the Modular Disk Storage Manager installed on the probe system. Where do I find that software?

Find and install the Modular Disk Storage Manager

For the Dell PowerVault MDi Logical Disk sensor or the Dell PowerVault MDi Physical Disk sensor to receive performance values from your device, install the Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager software on the probe system (on every node if you are running a cluster).

You will find this software on the resource CD that came with your device. Dell also offers resource CDs for download.

Example for MD3000i

For example, for the PowerVault MD3000i, find the resource CD file at https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/products?app=drivers.

On the CD that the ISO file contains, navigate to the WINDOWS\APP directory and execute the file SMIA-WS32-03.35.36.58.EXE.

Note: File names and/or paths might have changed since we wrote this article.

During the setup process,

• select the option to install a Management Station and
• set the recommended option called Automatically Start Monitor to automatically start the management software after a computer restart.

After the installation, you can create your Dell PowerVault MDi sensor in PRTG.
