8.Click OK.

IMPORTANT: Perform Discovery Data Collection for your inputs to take effect. See ”Step 3 — Discovering Applications” on page 123.

Deleting Caché Information

If you do not want the management server to monitor a Caché instance, you can remove its information, as described in the following steps:

1.Select Options > Protocol Settings > Storage Essentials > System Application Discovery Settings.

To select a target, you must have at least one element designated as a server, workstation or desktop. If you see the message, “No Targets Currently Selected,” change your element from unknown to either a server, workstation or desktop. See the documentation for HP Systems Insight Manager. Select a target, and click Run Now.

2.In the Database Information table, click the button corresponding to the Caché instance you do not want the management server to monitor.

3.Perform Discovery Data Collection to make the management server aware of your changes.

Step 3 — Discovering Applications

This step assumes you have already discovered your hosts and provided discovery information for your applications. To discover an application, do the following;

•Detect the application (”Step A — Detect Your Applications” on page 123)

•Perform Discovery Data Collection (”Step C — Run Discovery Data Collection” on page 125)

Keep in mind the following:

•This section assumes you have already set up the discovery configurations for your applications as described in ”Step 2 — Setting Up Discovery for Applications” on page 88.

•If you used a custom password for the APPIQ_USER account, you must change the password on the Storage Essentials management server before performing Discovery Data Collection. See ”Creating Custom Passwords on Managed Database Instances” on page 88.

•If DNS records for your Microsoft Exchange servers are outdated or missing, the discovery of Microsoft Exchange may fail because Microsoft Exchange is dependant on Active Directory, which is dependant on DNS. Since Active Directory is dependant on DNS, Active Directory replication and Active Directory lookups may fail or contain errors if DNS records are not accurate.

Step A — Detect Your Applications

If you have not already done so, use HP Systems Insight Manager to discover the hosts running the applications you want to discover. See ”Step A — Set Up Discovery for Hosts” on page 85.

To make the software aware of the applications on the network:

1.Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup.
