SRM supports multiple devices and vendors, providing real-time, unified visibility for all layers of your storage infrastructure. l For a complete list of supported devices, see Add arrays to SRM. l For information on installing or upgrading SolarWinds Orion products such as SRM, see the Orion Platform Products Installation and Upgrade Guide article. l See also the Getting Started Guide for SRM. This administration guide contains the following sections: Add arrays to SRM Enable the arrays in your storage environment to be discovered and monitored by SRM. Administer SRM As soon as devices are detected, data shows up for all storage layers on the real- time performance and capacity dashboards.
