•HP SIM does not allow blank passwords. Since these switches do not use a password, enter anything for the password.

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

•To manage a fabric of Sun StorEdge, QLogic, or HP M-Series switches, every switch in the fabric must be included in the discovery list. If a switch is not included in the discovery list, it may show up as a generic host system.

•No ports are reported for uninstalled blades or GBICs.

•The default SNMP trap listener port for switches is 162. To change this port, see ”Changing the SNMP Trap Listener Port and Community String for Switches Discovered with SNMP” on page 46.

•To receive events from Sun StorEdge, QLogic, and HP M-Series switches, verify that the SNMP trap community string is set to match the community string defined in the HP Storage Essentials custom properties (the default is public), and make sure the SNMP traps are configured to be sent to the management server. For more information, see ”Changing the SNMP Trap Listener Port and Community String for Switches Discovered with SNMP” on page 46

Note the following when discovering these switches with SMI-S:

•Before you can discover these switches with SMI-S, you must download and install the cimserver software. For more information, see the document QLogic SANbox 52xx and 56xx Switches or HP StorageWorks M-Series for p-Class BladeSystems at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers.

•You must perform Discovery Data Collection to obtain all available information from QLogic SMI-S switches—otherwise, attributes such as vendor, fabric, and port information will be missing for the QLogic SMI-S switches.

NOTE: You may see an error replicating the switch fabric name for QLogic-based switches. This error can be ignored.
