Manual end-to-end mapping in SRM

Relationships are discovered automatically for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) nodes, except for SNMP nodes. This is because SRM is unable to get FC/iSCSI topology from non-Windows physical servers. You can manually create relations between SRM entities and other SolarWinds Platform modules using manual end-to-end mapping.

1. Navigate to Settings > All Settings > SRM Settings.
2. Select Map Server Volumes to Storage Targets.

   The Manual Server Volume Mapping page is displayed.

3. Use the Group By drop-down menu to filter volumes as required (for example, by location or vendor).

   

Map a volume

1. Use the Show drop-down menu to show only unmapped server volumes.
2. Expand the server on which you want to map volumes.
3. Select the volume to be mapped, and click Edit Mappings.

   

4. Select the storage object type from the Show drop-down, select the object to which you want to map the selected Server Volumes, and click Next.

   

5. Verify the mapping and click Finish.

Edit a volume mapping

1. Use the Show drop-down menu to show only mapped server volumes.
2. Expand the server with the volume you want to unmap.
3. Select the volume to be unmapped, and click Edit Mappings.
4. Select the new storage object type to map from the Show dropdown, select the object to which you want to map the selected server volumes, and click Next.
5. Verify the mapping and click Finish.

   You can only edit a manual mapping.
