Step 1 - Discovering Your Hosts and Master Backup Servers
Before you can discover your applications, you must discover their hosts. You discover hosts in the same way you discovered your switches and storage systems. You provide the host’s IP address, user name and password. The user name and password must have administrative privileges. Unlike switches and storage systems, you must have installed CIM Extension on the host if you want to obtain detailed information about the host and its applications, including those applications for backup. Refer to the support matrix for information about which backup applications the management server supports.
The management server also detects the backup applications its supports, such as Veritas™ NetBackup™. If you are licensed for Backup Manager and you want to manage and monitor your backup applications, select Include backup details when you Get Details or Discovery Data Collection, as described in ”Step E - Obtain Details” on page 101.
Keep in mind the following:
•Additional steps are required for monitoring backup applications on
%JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\conf
•(Discovery from HP SE only)If you change the password of a host after you discover it, you must change the password for the host in the discovery list. Then, you must stop and restart the CIM Extension running on that host.
•(Discovery from HP SIM only)If you update the System Protocol Settings for that host in HP SIM, the information for the new user name and password is sent to HP SE when an identification step occurs in HP SIM.
