Managing Getting Discovery Details
You can schedule the management server to obtain discovery details at a specified interval. The
management server provides several types of discovery details:
• Include infrastructure details - During include infrastructure details, the management server
gathers detailed information about the SAN infrastructure and the process can be network
intensive.
• Include backup details - To obtain the latest backup information, schedule include backup
details to run nightly after you run your backup jobs. It is recommended you do not schedule
include infrastructure details topology details and include backup details the same time.
To learn more about scheduling details, see the following topics:
• ” Adding a Discovery Schedule ” on page 189
• ” Disabling a Schedule ” on page 190
• ” Editing a Schedule ” on page 191
• ” Removing a Schedule ” on page 191
Adding a Discovery Schedule
Schedule getting details when the network is not busy.
Keep in mind the following:
• All collectors are stopped during include infrastructure details. This means that during the
gathering of infrastructure details, information about the SAN, such as for Performance
Manager, is not updated.
• If you are creating multiple Discovery schedules, care must be taken to avoid scheduling
conflicts—concurrently scheduled Discovery tasks—and that each scheduled task has enough
time to start and finish before the next Discovery task is scheduled to start. See ” Do Not Run
Overlapping Discovery Schedules ” on page 679.
To schedule discovery details:
1. Click Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Schedule Discovery Data Collection
in HP Systems Insight Manager.
2. Click the New Schedule button.
3. In the Name field, type a name for your discovery schedule.
4. In the Description field, type a description for your discovery schedule.
