Pure Storage FlashArray SCOM Management Pack v2.0.120.0
Resolve a failure to retrieve alerts from Pure Storage Flash Arrays version 6.5 and above. This is due to security hardening and the reduction in allowed cyphers in Purity 6.5+ that alerts utilize. This update will be required to enable alerts on any FlashArray with 6.5+ of Purity: FA//X, FA//XL, FA//C, FA//E, Cloud Block Store.
Pure Storage FlashArray SCOM Management Pack v2.0.116.0
What is New
- Support FlashArray C and Cloud Block Store arrays
- Support Arrays with Direct Flash Shelves (DFS)
Known Issues
The v2.0.116.0 release will install in a greenfield deployment or perform an upgrade if the v1.x version of the Pure Storage SCOM Management Pack is installed.
Upgrade from v2.0.19.0 using the upgrade wizard is unsupported and will fail. A workaround for an existing v2.0.19.0 deployment, is to manually import the management pack. The management pack can be extracted from the MSI or downloaded directly (PureStorageFlashArray.mpb) from this release.
