After you add these switches to the service processor, you must perform Get Details/Discovery Data Collection. The management server obtains information about the new switches from the service processor. See the topic, Adding McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 85 for more information about adding switches.

(Discovery from HP SE only)When you remove switches from the service processor, you must remove them from the management server as well. See the topic, (Discovery from HP SE Only)Removing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 86 for more information about removing switches.
