6.Enter the User Name of the system running the tape library.

7.Enter the Password of the system running the tape library.

8.Retype the password in the Verify Password field.

9.In the Comment field (optional), type a comment for additional information. The information typed into this field is displayed under the Comment column in the Addresses to Discover list (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup).

11.Click OK.

12.To start discovering elements on the network, click the Start Discovery button on the IP Addresses tab.

Step 3 (Discovery from HP SE Only) -Build the Topology

This section is only for Discovery from HP SE, and it describes the following:

•”Building the Topology View” on page 75

•”Modifying the Properties of a Discovered Address” on page 76

•”Deleting Elements from the Product” on page 78

Building the Topology View

After you discover elements, the management server requires you to build a topology view, which is a graphical representation of port-level connectivity information.

If a switch has more than one connection to an element, the number of connections is displayed above the line linking the switch and the element. For example, assume the number two is shown between a switch and a storage system. This means the elements have two connections to each other. To view the port details for the connection, right-click the element and select Show Port Details from the drop-down menu.

If the topology changes, you can update how the element is viewed in the topology by selecting the element and clicking the Get Topology for Selected button in the Get Topology for discovered elements page (from the HP SIM home page, click Tools > Storage Essentials > Home. The Storage Essentials home page opens in a separate web browser window. Click Discovery > Topology in the upper right pane of the Storage Essentials home page). The management server obtains just enough information about where the element is connected in the topology, for example a switch connected to a host.

The management server marks an element with a question mark in the topology if the management server detects an element but it cannot obtain additional information about it. To learn more about fixing detected and/or disconnected elements, see the topic, ”Troubleshooting Topology Issues” on page 615.
