The elements you quarantine appear with a flag () in the Quarantined column on the Discovery Data Collection page.

The elements are excluded from discovery until you clear them from quarantine.

Removing an Element from Quarantine

To remove an element from quarantine:

Quarantined elements appear with a flag () in the Quarantined column on the Discovery Data Collection page.

2.Click Clear Quarantine.

The next time you perform Discovery Data Collection for the element, the management server gathers data from the element.

Updating the Database with Element Changes

After you have initially discovered elements, information about them might change. To update the database with these changes, perform the steps described in this section.

Keep in mind the following:

•If you are adding, removing or replacing McDATA or Connectrix switches, you must use a different procedure. For more information, see ”Managing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 45.

•Running Discovery Data Collection takes time. You might want to run this process when the network and the managed elements are not busy.

To update the database:

1.Select Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run Discovery Data Collection.

2.Select Include infrastructure details, which gathers information about SAN details.

NOTE: Include backup details is used for gathering information for Backup Manager. You do not need to select it unless you have already discovered hosts running backup applications and installed CIM extensions on those hosts. For more information about discovering master backup servers, see ”Step 1 — Discovering Your Hosts and Backup Manager Hosts” on page 83.

3.The management server obtains most of its information from device managers for storage systems with external databases, such as HP, HDS, and EMC storage systems. Select Force Device Manager Refresh if you want the management server to tell the device managers for your storage systems to obtain the latest information. If you do not select Force Device Manager Refresh, the management server gathers information from the external databases based on the assumption the information in the external database is up-to-date.
