Discovering McDATA and Connectrix Switches through a Proxy with SNMP

NOTE: Discovering McDATA or Connectrix switches through a proxy using the SNMP protocol does not let you manage or access information about zones, zone sets or zone aliases.

You can use this option with EMC Connectrix Manager and EFC Manager to contact the switch.

IMPORTANT: Provide the SNMP credentials in the WBEM settings section on the System Protocol Settings page (Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings). Only the WBEM default credentials are passed from HP SIM to HP Storage Essentials. Any default credential information you set up in regards to SNMP is not passed from HP SIM to HP Storage Essentials.

1.Change the discovery setting for McDATA and Connectrix switches to SNMP following the steps in ”Changing the Discovery Settings” on page 43.

2.Verify the following on the proxy and the switches accessible from the proxy:

•The SNMP agent is enabled.

•The read-only community string is configured.

3.To discover the proxy, enter the following information in HP SIM:

•IP address or system name of the EFC Manager or Connectrix Manager you want to discover.

•User name. The default user name, which is public (the read-only community string). This is the user name of the proxy.

•Enter anything as a password; HP SIM does not allow an empty password field.

4.Make sure there are no port conflicts for receiving SNMP traps. When the management server is configured to contact the proxy by SNMP, it receives events from the proxy in the form of SNMP traps. By default, the management server uses port 162 to receive SNMP traps. If another software package is using that port, the management server is unable to receive the traps. For information about changing the port, see ”Changing the SNMP Trap Listener Port and Community String for Switches Discovered with SNMP” on page 46.

5.Set up the proxy to send traps to the correct port. When you are using the SNMP setting to discover a proxy, you must configure the SNMP agent on the proxy manager to send traps from all switches managed by the proxy to the management server using the port you selected. For more information, see the documentation for your proxy.
