Managing Getting Discovery Details

You can schedule the management server to obtain discovery details at a specified interval. The management server provides several types of discovery details:

•Include infrastructure details - During include infrastructure details, the management server gathers detailed information about the SAN infrastructure and the process can be network intensive.

•Include backup details - To obtain the latest backup information, schedule include backup details to run nightly after you run your backup jobs. It is recommended you do not schedule include infrastructure details topology details and include backup details the same time.

To learn more about scheduling details, see the following topics:

•”Adding a Discovery Schedule” on page 155

•”Disabling a Schedule” on page 156

•”Editing a Schedule” on page 157

•”Removing a Schedule” on page 157

Adding a Discovery Schedule

Schedule getting details when the network is not busy.

Keep in mind the following:

•All collectors are stopped during include infrastructure details. This means that during the gathering of infrastructure details, information about the SAN, such as for Performance Manager, is not updated.

•If you are creating multiple Discovery schedules, care must be taken to avoid scheduling conflicts—concurrently scheduled Discovery tasks—and that each scheduled task has enough time to start and finish before the next Discovery task is scheduled to start. See ”Do Not Run Overlapping Discovery Schedules” on page 615.

To schedule discovery details:

1.Click Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Schedule Discovery Data Collection in HP Systems Insight Manager.

2.Click the New Schedule button.

3.In the Name field, type a name for your discovery schedule.

4.In the Description field, type a description for your discovery schedule.
