Each vendor usually has dozens of device models with different configuration formats. Consequently, each device type in the system may need multiple drivers to support. The Vendor Model function associates vendor model information and other properties for each device type. With this information, the system can issue specific commands to corresponding device models for data retrieval.

If a discovered device sysOID is not included in the vendor model list, it will be identified as an unclassified device in the Domain Manager. You need to log the information of this unclassified device in the vendor model list first and then rediscover the device.

Adding a Vendor Model

1.Log into Tenant Management page.

2.Select MVS Configuration > Vendor Model. The supported device types in the system are displayed in the left pane and all available vendor models for this device type are displayed in the right area.

3.Use either way to add new entries in the table list.

Adding entries manually
