Excluding HDS Storage Systems from Discovery
When multiple HDS storage systems are managed through a single HiCommand Device Manager,
specific storage systems may be excluded from discovery by using system properties.
To exclude one or more HDS storage systems from discovery, you must modify the
cimom.hds.exclude property. Set the property cimom.hds.exclude to a comma separated
list of serial numbers of the storage systems you want excluded, as shown in the following example:
cimom.hds.exclude=61038,61037
The management server excludes the storage systems with one of the following serial numbers:
61038 and 61037.
If the cimom.hds.exclude property is not specified, the management server discovers and
obtains details from all HDS storage systems managed by the discovered HiCommand Device
Manager.
The IP addresses of excluded elements appear in the discovery (Tools > Storage Essentials >
Home
> Discovery > Setup), topology (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery >
Topology ), Discovery Data Collection (Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run
Discovery Data Collection ), or Get Details list (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home >
Discovery > Details). The management server does not display additional information about
excluded elements in the user interface. The management server, however, does mention in the logs
(Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > View Logs) that a provider instance has
been created for an excluded element. You can ignore this message that appears in the logs.
To modify the cimom.hds.exclude property:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in
the Disk Space tree.
