Discovery from HP SE

To make the software aware of the devices on the network:

1.Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup.

2.If several of the elements in the same domain use the same name and password, click the Set Default User Name and Password link. Provide up to three user names and passwords.

The management server tries the default user names and passwords for elements during discovery. For example, if you have a several hosts using the same user name and password, add their user name and password to the list of default user names and passwords. If one of the hosts is connected to a storage system with another user name and password, you would also add this user name and password to the list. Do not specify the user name and password for the storage system in the individual range because that overrides the default user name and password.

To access a Windows-based device, prefix the user name with domain_name\, as shown in the following example. This is required by the Windows login mechanism.

domain_name\username

where

domain_name is the domain name of the element

username is the name of the account used to access that element

3.To add an IP address range to scan: a. Click the IP Ranges tab.

b. Click the Add Range button.

c.In the From IP Address field, type the lowest IP address in the range of the elements you want to discover.

d.In the To IP Address field, type the highest IP address in the range of the elements you want to discover.

e.In the User Name (Optional) field, type the user name.

To access a Windows-based device, prefix the user name with the Windows domain name, as shown in the following example. It is required by the Windows login mechanism.

domain_name\username

where

domain_name is the domain name of the element

username is the name of the account used to access that element

f.In the Password (Optional) field, type the password corresponding to the user name entered in the User Name field.

g.Type the password from the previous step in the Verify Password field.

h.In the Comment field, type a brief description of the servers. For example, Servers in Marketing.
