•Before you can discover Cisco switches with SMI-S, you must download and install the Cisco cimserver software. See the HP StorageWorks C-Seriesdocument for instructions. You can access this document at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers.

•Enable the CIM Server for Cisco switches discovered through the SMI-S provider.

a.On the Cisco switch, enter the following command to display the Common Information Models (CIM) configurations and settings:

cisco_switch# show cimserver

b.To enter configuration mode, enter the following: cisco_switch# config

c.To enable access to the server, enter the following:

cisco_switch# cimserver enableHttps

And/or

cisco_switch# cimserver enableHttp

d.To enable the CIM Server, enter the following: cisco_switch(config)# cimserver enable

e.To exit configuration mode, enter the following: cisco_switch(config)# exit

•If you are using the SMI-S provider, discover all Cisco switches in a fabric If you discover only one switch, inactive zones and zone sets residing on other switches are not displayed on the management server.
