Discovering HDS Storage Systems
HiCommand Device Manager is required for the management server to communicate with an HDS
storage system. To discover an HDS storage system, enter the IP address, user name and password
for the server running HiCommand Device Manager. Do not point to the disk array for the storage
system.
To obtain information about HDS storage systems, the management server must be able to access
the port HiCommand Device Manager uses to listen. By default, HiCommand Device Manager
listens on port 2001, and the management server assumes this configuration at discovery time. If
HiCommand Device Manager uses a different port, specify this other port when you discover
HiCommand Device Manager.
Keep in mind the following:
• You cannot scan an IP range to discover an instance of HiCommand Device Manager that
listens on a port other than 2001. The management server does not allow port numbers in the
scanning of IP ranges, and thus, you are not able to specify the port.
• The management server communicates with HiCommand Device Manager through a nonsecure
connection. If you want the management server to communicate with HiCommand Device
Manager through a secure sockets layer (SSL) connection, you must modify an internal property
or use HTTPS when you discover HiCommand Device Manager. See ” Communicating with
HiCommand Device Manager Over SSL ” on page 624.
