To obtain details:

1.Do the following:

•Discovery from HP SE - Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery >

Details

•Discovery from HP SIM - Click Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run Discovery Data Collection.

2.Verify the File SRM option is selected. The File SRM option appears for hosts that have the CIM Extension and an operating system that supports File System Viewer.

3.Verify the Include backup details option is selected if you want to monitor and manage backup applications in Backup Manager.

4.Verify the Include infrastructure details option is selected. This option is required to manage and monitor your elements not related to the backup infrastructure.

5.Click the Get Details button.

When the software completes getting all elements details, it displays GETTING ALL DETAILS COMPLETED on the View Logs page.

For additional information, see ”Step 1 - Discover Switches” on page 31 for information on how to automate the gathering of all element details. If you run into problems with discovery, see ”Troubleshooting” on page 599.

Step 2 - Setting Up Discovery for Applications

Keep in mind the following when discovering applications:

•Make a list of the applications you want to monitor. Configure your applications first as described in this section and then run discovery.

•You should have already installed a CIM Extension on the hosts that have the applications you want to discover. After you installed the CIM Extension, you should have already discovered the host. See ”Step 1 - Discovering Your Hosts and Master Backup Servers” on page 93.

You can configure the management server to monitor hosts and applications, such as Oracle, Microsoft Exchange server, and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise, in addition to Microsoft SQL servers and file servers. If you want to obtain detailed information about the host and its applications, you must install a CIM Extension on the host, as described in the previous chapters.

The following is an overview of what you need to do. It is assumed you have already discovered the hosts running your applications. See ”Step 1 - Discovering Your Hosts and Master Backup Servers” on page 93.

Then, set up the configurations for your applications on the management server. Some applications may require you to provide additional discovery information about the application. Finally, perform discovery and then obtain Get Details/Discovery Data Collection. Get Details and Discovery Data Collection takes some time. Perform this step when the network is not busy. More details about the steps mentioned above are provided later.
