| NOTE: Before performing any provisioning operations that involve a brocade switch you must | ||
| perform Discovery Step 3 for any subset of elements that includes this brocade switch. | ||
| To make the management server aware of elements on your network follow the steps for discovery | ||
| outlined in one of the following tables: | ||
| • Discovery from HP SIM - See Table 4 on page 20. | ||
| • Discovery from HP SE - See Table 5 on page 21. | ||
|
|
|
|
| NOTE: See ”Accessing the Discovery Pages for HP SIM and HP SE” on page 17 for details on | ||
| how to access HP SIM or HP SE. | ||

Step |
| Description |
|
|
|
|
|
1 |
| If you have several switches and storage systems that use the same password |
|
|
| and user name, set that password and user name as the default. Use the |
|
|
| Global Settings (Options > Protocol Settings > Global Settings) feature |
|
|
| to set your default passwords. Refer to the documentation that ships with SIM |
|
|
| for more information. |
|
|
|
|
|
2 |
| Discover your switches (Options > Discovery > Automatic). See Table 6 on |
|
|
| page 31 for information on how to discover the types of switches in your |
|
|
| network. |
|
|
| One way to detect multiple IP addresses at once is to add an IP range for |
|
|
| scanning. The management server scans the IP range for elements and |
|
|
| populates the discovery list with element it could contact. |
|
|
| You can then discover those elements. See ”Adding an IP Range for |
|
|
| Scanning” on page 23 for more information. |
|
|
|
|
|
3 |
| Discover your filers and storage systems (Options > Discovery > |
|
|
| Automatic). See Table 9 on page 54. |
|
|
|
|
|
4 |
| Discovery Data Collection (Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > |
|
|
| Run Discovery Data Collection) is required to obtain information from your |
|
|
| discovered elements. Discovery Data Collection takes some time. You might |
|
|
| want to perform this process when the network and the managed elements |
|
|
| are not busy. |
