Discovering 3PAR Storage Systems

NOTE:

You do not need to provide the interop namespace because the management server

includes the interop namespace for 3PAR storage systems in its default list.

IMPORTANT:

To be able to discover a 3PAR storage system, the SMI-S server for the 3PAR storage

system must be running. By default, the 3PAR SMI-S server is not started on the array. To start the

SMI-S server, bring up the InForm CLI and run the following command:

startcim

This command starts the SMI-S server within a minute or so.
