Adding McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches

After you add switches to an existing service processor, you must perform Discovery Data Collection, as described in the following steps. If you are adding switches to a service processor that has not been discovered yet, see the topic, Discovering McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 38.

IMPORTANT: Obtaining details takes some time. You might want to perform this process when the network and the managed elements are not busy.

To run Discovery Data Collection:

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

2.Click Get Details.

During Discovery Data Collection, the software status light changes from green to red. You can view the progress of gathering details by accessing the logs. For more information, see Viewing Log Messages” on page 74.

Removing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches

After removing switches from a service processor, remove the switches from the management server database. For more information, see Deleting Discovered Elements” on page 78.

Replacing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches

After replacing switches in the service processor, you must make the management server aware of your changes by removing the old switches from the user interface and then running Discovery Data Collection so the management server can discover the new switches. For more information about Discovery Data Collection, see Discovery Data Collection” on page 67. If you are adding switches to a service processor that has not been discovered yet, see Discovering McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 38.
