Prerequisites for Monitoring Dell EMC Unity
Before you can monitor Dell EMC Unity systems using the Dell EMC: Unity PowerPack, you must have the following information about the Unisphere REST API:
- Username and password for a user with access to the Unisphere REST API
- IP address for the Unisphere REST API
Creating a SOAP/XML Credential for Dell EMC Unity
To configure SL1 to monitor Dell EMC Unity storage arrays, you must first create a SOAP/XML credential. This credential allows the Dynamic Applications in the Dell EMC: Unity PowerPack to use the Unisphere REST API.

To configure the SOAP/XML credential to access the Unisphere REST API:
- Go to the Credential Management page (System > Manage > Credentials).
- Locate the Dell EMC: Unity Example credential, and then click its wrench icon (

- Complete the following fields:
- Profile Name. Type a new name for the credential.
- HTTP Auth User. Type the username for a user with access to the Unisphere REST API.
- HTTP Auth Password. Type the password for the user you specified in the HTTP Auth User field.
NOTE: The HTTP Headers that are included in the example credential are required to receive a response from the Unisphere REST API. Do not delete or edit them.
