Discovering IBM Storage Systems

Before you can discover an IBM storage system, you must install:

•The IBM CIMOM, which is used to communicate with IBM storage systems. The IBM CIMOM can be installed on any host that has access to the IBM storage system. Obtain the IBM CIMOM from IBM.

•The IBM CIM Agent on a host and configured to manage one or more Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) devices. Do not install the IBM CIM Agent on the management server. Refer to the CIM Agent for the ESS - Installation and Configuration Guide for details on configuring the CIM Agent. In short, this procedure entails:

a.Installing the software. The installation checks for the existence of the ESSCLI. If the ESSCLI is not installed, installation of the CIM Agent cannot proceed. The ESSCLI is typically preinstalled on the ESS management server that was configured by the IBM field technician.

b.Configuring of protocol and ports used to communicate with the CIM Agent. You can change the CIM Agent port value, protocol (HTTP/HTTPS), and enable or disable the debug option.

c.Using the setuser command to configure a user to access the CIM Agent. The user credentials specified here are used to access the CIMOM and are specified in the Discovery Step 1. The credentials are not necessarily the same as those used to login to the ESS Specialist management utility.

d.Using the setdevice command to configure the ESS devices that are managed through the CIM Agent. The setdevice command requires a valid user that has the necessary privileges to access and configure the ESS storage system.

e.Verifying that the CIM Agent is able to communicate with the ESS devices.
