Performing a Test File System Viewer Scan

If you have changed your network configuration and you are not sure the management server can

still scan the server running File System Viewer, you can perform a test File System Viewer scan.

During this scan, the management server verifies that it can access the server and perform a high

level File System Viewer scan. It also verifies whether or not it can scan network volumes with host

discovery credentials.
Keep in mind the following:

This feature only works with CIM Extensions builds 5.1 and later.

If you want to scan network mounted drives on a host running Windows, you must make sure a

user is logged onto the Windows host. The user must have permission to mount the network

drives.

To perform a test File System Viewer scan:

1.

Click Reports > Storage Essentials > Data Collection > File System Viewer Data in HP

Systems Insight Manager.

2.

Click the Test button in the Test Scan column for the corresponding file server.
After you click the Test button, the management server attempts to access the server and

perform a test File System Viewer scan.
