Table 11 Making the Management Server Aware of Hosts (SE Discovery Only) (continued)

Step

Description

 

 

2

To enter an IP address range, click the IP Ranges tab and then the Add Range

 

button.

 

If necessary, enter a user name and password for the devices in the range.

 

During a scan of an IP range, the software uses ping; however, ping is not

 

guaranteed to return a response from all devices. If the management server is not

 

able to detect the device during a scan of the IP range, discover the device directly

 

as described in Step 4.

 

 

3

Click the Start Scanning button. The management server detects targets it can

 

ping and adds them to the IP Address tab automatically. Ping does not guarantee a

 

response. When you start the discovery process, these addresses are included.

 

 

4

If a device was not found during an IP scan, enter an IP address by clicking the IP

 

Addresses tab and then the Add Address button.

 

If necessary, enter a user name and password for the device.

 

 

5

Click the Start Discovery button.

 

 

6

Run Get Details. See Get Details takes some time. You might want to perform this

 

process when the network and the managed elements are not busy. Click Tools >

 

Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Details.

 

 

Keep in mind the following:

• If you started a CIM Extension on a Sun Solaris host with the ./start -users command, the user name provided in the command must be used to discover the host. For example, if you use

./start -users myname:yourname (where myname and yourname are valid UNIX accounts) to start the CIM Extension, myname or yourname and its password must be used to discover the host.

• If you try to discover a Solaris host with multiple IP address, the management server picks only one IP address for discovery.

• To access a Windows-based device, prefix the user name with domain_name\, as shown in the following example. This is required by the Windows login mechanism.

IMPORTANT: If you want to use the HP SIM discovery mechanism, you must provide HP SIM with the credentials required by HP SE for HP SE to be successful.

domain_name\username

where

•

domain_name is the domain name of the element

•

username is the name of the account used to access that element
