NOTE: The globalsetting.props file is located in <HP SIM install directory>/config on Windows and /etc/opt/mx/config on Linux.

This setting allows the HP SIM Connector to access the new filter file without being restarted. After the HP SIM Connector accesses the file, you can change this setting to false if there will not be any changes in the future. With the false setting the file will not get loaded again when the filter is needed because the HP SIM Connector uses the cached and compiled filter.

If you update the globalsetting.props file, you must restart HP SIM to activate the changes.

•Each line of the SEDiscoveryFilterList file indicates a flag, an IP address, or a comment. For example, in the sample selective discovery filter file below, inclusive and exclusive are flags, items preceded by the pound sign (#) are comments, and the numbers indicate IP addresses or IP address ranges.

inclusive 12.34.45.23 14.255.255.23

12.34.45.56- 12.44.45.34

16.111.*

16.34.*.* - 17.45.7.13 23.22.* - 23.34.*

exclusive 12.35.44.23 #14.24.255.23

12.34.45.67 - 12.44.44.34 16.111.3.* 16.34.23.* - 17.45.7.* 23.22.12.* - 23.34.12.*

•Mixing flags, comments, and IP addresses on a single line can result in an invalid line that will not be processed.

Rules for the Inclusive and Exclusive Flags

The filter file uses inclusive or exclusive flags to indicate inclusive or exclusive filters. IP addresses are checked against and must pass all specified filters, both inclusive and

exclusive.

Use the following rules when entering inclusive and exclusive filters in the selective discovery filter file:

•The inclusive flag indicates that only the IP addresses or ranges listed in the inclusive section of the file will be included when HP SIM passes the discovered IP addresses to HP Storage Essentials.

•The exclusive flag indicates that the IP addresses or ranges listed in the exclusive section of the file will be excluded when HP SIM passes the discovered IP addresses to HP Storage Essentials.

•If both filter types exist, inclusive filters are processed first.
