Storage Essentials 5.1 User Guide 665

If you have already added the host to the discovery list (Discovery > Setup on the HP SE
Home page

) on the management server, you must remove it and then re-add it. You cannot

have more than one listing of the host with different ports.

Configuring UNIX CIM Extensions

to Run Behind Firewalls

In some instances you will need to discover a host behind a firewall. Use the following table as a

guideline. Assume the management server wants to discover HostA, which has three network

interface cards on three separate networks with three separate IPs: 10.250.250.10,

172.31.250.10, and 192.168.250.10. In the following table different configurations are

presented:

The “Manual Start Parameters for CIM Extensions” column provides what you would enter to

start the CIM Extension manually on the host. See the Installation Guide for more information on

how to start a CIM Extension manually.

The “If Mentioned in cim.extension.parameters” column provides information on how you would

modify the cim.extension.parameters file. See ”

Permanently Changing the Port a CIM

Extension Uses (UNIX Only)

” on page 664.

(Discovery from HP SE Only)The “Step 1 Discovery (Discovery > Setup from the HP SE Home

page) and RMI Registry Port” column - Provides information about what IP addresses are

required for the discovery list. The RMI Registry port is the port the CIM Extension uses. Keep in

mind that when a port other than 4673 is used for the CIM Extension, the port must be included

in the discovery IP. For example, 192.168.1.1:1234, where 192.168.1.1 is the IP for the host

and 1234 is the port the CIM Extension uses.
