Discovering Sun StorEdge and QLogic Switches

The management server discovers Sun StorEdge switches through an SNMP connection and QLogic switches—depending on the model—are discovered through SNMP or SMI-S. See the Support Matrix for details on supported switch models and firmware revisions.

Keep in mind the following for Sun StorEdge and QLogic SNMP switches:

•When you discover a Sun StorEdge or QLogic SNMP switch in HP SE, you do not need to provide a password if you discover it in HP SE. HP SIM requires a password.

•The management server does not support provisioning for Sun StorEdge and QLogic switches. Only the active zone set and its zone members are reported.
