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.
