# Pure Storage FlashArray discovery

The Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the Pure Storage pattern to find Pure Storage FlashArray on your infrastructure. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

**Note:** Starting March 2024, the pattern execution is disabled by default. To create a CI for Pure Storage FlashArray, synchronize the pattern to the MID Server.

## Request new or enhanced Patterns on the ServiceNow® Store

Visit the [ServiceNow Store](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/application/06a71b1367e4130051c9027e2685ef1e/1.6.0?referer=%2Fstore%2Fsearch%3Flistingtype%3Dallintegrations%25253Bancillary_app%25253Bcertified_apps%25253Bcontent%25253Bindustry_solution%25253Boem%25253Butility%25253Btemplate%26q%3DPatterns&sl=sh) to view all the available updates and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the [ServiceNow Store version history release notes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/store-release-notes/sn-store-release-notes.html).

## Prerequisites

-   **Verify that the applications are up to date**
    -   Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns
    -   Visibility Content
-   **Verify the configuration of the credentials**

    Configure basic authentication credentials to classify FlashArray. For more information, see [basic authentication](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-security/r_BasicAuthCredentialsForm.md).

-   **Verify the permissions to run REST API calls**

    The Pure Storage Flash Array pattern supports the API 2.17 version. Note that the `/api/1.17/auth/apitoken` endpoint uses an earlier API version than the rest of the API calls.

    -   `/api/1.17/auth/apitoken`
    -   `/api/2.17/auth/session`
    -   `/api/2.17/arrays`
    -   `/api/2.17/volumes`
    -   `/api/2.17/volume-groups`
    -   `/api/2.17/host-groups`
    -   `/api/2.17/hardware`
    -   `/api/2.17/dns`
    -   `/api/2.17/ports`

**Note:** The February 2024 Pure Storage pattern version supports only iSCSI protocol discovery.

## Running Discovery

To run discovery using Patterns, create a discovery schedule that targets the management IP address of the FlashArray storage. For more information, see [Running discoveries in your network](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/running-discoveries.md).

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Pure Storage pattern.
