Integration with DFM

israelmmi — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:44:49 GMT

We recently installed the new 4.1c release and get errors when trying to send messages to the DFM:

STORAGE-05016: Creating a Operations Manager console event [script:critical-event] on [DFMServer]

Hello,

Are you are using a Snap Creator specific user and role?

Snap Creator 4.1 introduces a new API that is needed for Data ONTAP 8.2.

This is the event-generate API that is referenced above.

If you are using a custom role (as opposed to vsadmin or root level role) you will need to edit the role on the storage and add the event-generate API.

I'm not sure what version of ONTAP you are using, but this is very similar to the error I received moving from SC 4.0 to 4.1.

Hope this helps.

John

Hi John,

We are running 7-Mode 8.1.3P2, not 7.2. Does the same apply?

Hello RS,

Did the "dfm alert" ever work before?

You may please get us this output from the DFM server. "dfm about"

What is your OM_USER?

The OM_USER need to have privilege to send alerts (read/write?)

What happens when you set the OM_TRANSPORT to HTTP?

Yes, the previous config worked in 4.0. The problem started after I upgraded/migrated to 4.1c.

I upgraded/installed the newly released fully supported and buffed SnapCreator 4.1 release and that solved the problem.

Great news and I especially like to hear Snap Creator and buffed in the same sentence
