Discovering an MSA2000 G2 Proxy Provider
Discovery is the process of finding systems in the management domain so that they can be managed
from the CMS by HP SIM. A system must first be discovered to collect data and track system health
status. The primary source for automatic discovery is ping sweeps configured in the automatic discovery
tasks page. Other sources might include receiving events from unknown systems or from a management
processor that has information about a server. Identification automatically runs on discovered systems.
Event-based automatic discovery is disabled by default. You can perform discovery only if you have
administrative rights.
To discover an MSA2000 G2 Proxy Provider
1. In HP SIM, click the Discovery link in the Options tab.
2. Click New and create a new task to discover the MSA2000 G2 Proxy Provider. You must specify
the IP address.
