Discovering NAS Devices, Tape Libraries, Switches and Storage Systems

46

When you discover a Sun StorEdge or QLogic SNMP switch in HP SE, you do not need to

provide a password if you discover it in HP SE. HP SIM requires a password.

The management server does not support provisioning for Sun StorEdge and QLogic switches.

Only the active zone set and its zone members are reported.

To manage a fabric of Sun StorEdge and/or QLogic switches, every switch in the fabric must be

included in the discovery list. If a switch is not included in the discovery list, it may show up as a

generic host system.

No ports are reported for uninstalled blades or GBICs.

The default SNMP trap listener port for all Sun StorEdge switches is 162. To change this port,

see

Changing the SNMP Trap Listener Port for Sun StorEdge Switches

” on page 47.

To receive events from Sun StorEdge switches, verify the SNMP trap community string is set to

public in SANbox Manager or via telnet. Also, make sure the SNMP traps are configured to be

sent to the management server. See ”

About Event Manager

” on page 465 for more information.

Keep in mind the following for QLogic SMI-S switches:

A user name and password are required to discover any SMI-S switch.

NOTE:

You must perform Get Details or Discovery Data Collection to obtain all available

information from QLogic SMI-S switches—otherwise, attributes such as vendor, fabric, and port

information will be missing for the QLogic SMI-S switches. You may see an error replicating the

switch fabric name for QLogic-based switches. This error can be ignored.

Discovery from HP SIM

IMPORTANT:

Provide the SNMP credentials in the WBEM settings section on the System Protocol

Settings page (Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings). Only the WBEM

default credentials are passed from HP SIM to HP SE. Any default credential information you set up

in regards to SNMP is not passed from HP SIM to HP SE.

To discover a Sun StorEdge or QLogic switch in HP Insight Manager, provide the following:

System name or primary IP address of the a Sun StorEdge or QLogic switch you want to

discover. See ”

Adding an IP Range for Scanning

” on page 27 or ”

Adding a Single IP Address

or DNS Name for Discovery

” on page 28 for more information.

Do one of the following:
• For Sun StorEdge or QLogic switches with SNMP connections:

Provide the user name for the switch. This is the public community SNMP string for the switch.

• For QLogic switches with SMI-S connections:

Provide the SMI-S user name.

HP SIM does not allow blank passwords. Do one of the following:
• Enter anything for the password for Sun StorEdge and QLogic SNMP switches.
• A password is required on SMI-S switches. Enter the password.
