•SNMP connection - Enter the IP address of the proxy. The default user name is “public” (the read-only community string). The password does not matter since the management server is not doing any configurations through SNMP.

10.Verify the following on the proxy and the switches accessible from the proxy:

•The SNMP agent is enabled.

•The read-only community string is configured.

11.Run Discovery.

12.Run Get Details.

(Discovery from SE Only) Excluding McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches from Discovery

IMPORTANT: This step only applies to discovery from SE only.

Specific McDATA and Connectrix switches can be excluded from discovery by using system properties.

To exclude one or more switches from discovery, you must modify the cimom.mcdata.exclude property. Set the property cimom.mcdata.exclude to a comma separated list of Worldwide Names of the McDATA and Connectrix switches you want excluded, as shown in the following example:

cimom.mcdata.exclude=1000080088A07024,1000080088A0D0B6

The management server excludes the switches with one of the following Worldwide Names: 1000080088A07024 and 1000080088A0D0B6

If the cimom.mcdata.exclude property is not modified, the management server discovers and obtains details from all McDATA and Connectrix switches.

IMPORTANT: The IP addresses of excluded elements appear in the discovery lists (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup), topology (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Topology), or Get Details lists (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Details). The management server does not display additional information about excluded elements in the user interface. The management server, however, does mention in the logs (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > View Logs) that a provider instance has been created for an excluded element. You can ignore this message that appears in the logs.

To modify the cimom.mcdata.exclude property:

1.Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in the Disk Space tree.

2.Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
