# Create a serverless discovery schedule for IBM Flash System discovery

Create a serverless discovery schedule to run IBM Flash System storage discovery.

## Before you begin

-   Verify that the MID Server is active and can reach the following REST API endpoints on the IBM Flash System array:

    -   `POST /rest/v1/auth`
    -   `POST /rest/v1/lssystem`
    -   `POST /rest/v1/lsmdiskgrp`
    -   `POST /rest/v1/lsvdisk`
    -   `POST /rest/v1/lsportfc`
    -   `POST /rest/v1/lsenclosurecanister`
    -   `POST /rest/v1/lsdrive`
    -   `POST /rest/v1/lsfabric`
-   Create an alias for a basic authentication credential. For more information, see [Create an alias for a basic authentication credential for IBM Flash System discovery](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery-and-service-mapping-patterns/create-alias-basic-auth-cred-ibm-flash.md).
-   Verify that you have at least version 1.35.0 of Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns.
-   Retrieve the following values from your IBM Flash System array:
    -   Management IP address
    -   REST API port \(typically 7443\)

Role required: discovery\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Discovery** > **Discovery Schedules**.

2.  Create the discovery schedule record.

    1.  Select **New**.

    2.  On the form, fill in the fields.

<table id="create-serverless-schedule-ibm-flash-table-1"><thead><tr><th>

Field

</th><th>

Description

</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>

Name

</td><td>

Unique name for this discovery schedule.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Discover

</td><td>

Scan type, which should be `Serverless`.

</td></tr><tr><td>

MID Server selection method

</td><td>

Method that Discovery uses to select a MID Server:-   `Specific MID Cluster`: Use a preconfigured cluster of MID Servers. The MID Server can’t be part of multiple clusters
-   `Specific MID Server`: Use only one MID Server. If that MID Server is part of a cluster, only that MID Server is used. The cluster isn’t used.


</td></tr><tr><td>

MID server

</td><td>

Name of the MID Server to use for this schedule. This field is available if **MID Server selection method** is set to `Specific MID Server`.

</td></tr><tr><td>

MID Server cluster

</td><td>

Name of the MID Server cluster to use for this schedule. This field is available if **MID Server selection method** is set to `Specific MID Cluster`.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Active

</td><td>

Option to enable this schedule for discovery.

</td></tr></tbody>
</table>    3.  Select **Submit**.

3.  Create the execution pattern.

    1.  In the Discovery Schedules page, select the record you created.

    2.  In the **Serverless Execution Patterns** tab, select **New**.

    3.  On the form, fill in the fields.

        |Field|Description|
        |-----|-----------|
        |Name|Descriptive name for this record.|
        |Pattern|Pattern to use for this schedule, which should be `IBM Flash System Storage`.|
        |Proxy Host|Fully qualified domain name of the machine on which a proxy server is installed, when applicable. Leave this field empty.|
        |Active|Option to enable this schedule for discovery.|

    4.  Select **Submit**.

4.  Set the pattern launcher parameters.

    1.  In the **Discovery Pattern Launcher Parameters** tab, select the record you created.

    2.  On the form, fill in the fields.

        |Parameter|Value|
        |---------|-----|
        |**credential\_alias**|ID of the credential alias you created.|
        |**ipaddress**|Management IP of the IBM Flash System array.|
        |**port**|REST API port of the IBM Flash System array.|

    3.  Select **Submit**.


## What to do next

Either execute discovery immediately by selecting **Discover now** or wait until the predefined schedule triggers the discovery.
