select Include backup details unless you have already discovered hosts running backup applications and installed CIM Extensions on those hosts. See ”Step 1 - Discovering Your Hosts and Master Backup Servers” on page 93 for more information about discovering master backup servers. The Include backup details option gathers the latest information about your backup applications.

3.The management server obtains most of its information from device managers for storage systems with external databases, such as HP, HDS, and EMC storage systems. Select Force Device Manager Refresh if you want the management server to tell the device managers for your storage systems to obtain the latest information. If you do not select Force Device Manager Refresh, the management server gathers information from the external databases with the assumption the information in the external database is up to date. See the following topics for more information: ”Excluding EMC Symmetrix Storage Systems from Force Device Manager Refresh” on page 83 and ”Excluding HDS Storage Systems from Force Device Manager Refresh” on page 84.

NOTE: If you plan to have File SRM scan a host, make sure you have 220 to 230 MB for each set of 1 million files.
