Storage Essentials 5.00.01 User Guide 97
Keep in mind the following:
• If you started a CIM Extension on a Sun Solaris host with the ./start -users command, the user
name provided in the command must be used to discover the host. For example, if you use
./start -users myname:yourname (where myname and yourname are valid UNIX accounts) to
start the CIM Extension, myname or yourname and its password must be used to discover the
host.
• If you try to discover a Solaris host with multiple IP address, the management server picks only
one IP address for discovery.
• To access a Windows-based device, prefix the user name with domain_name\, as shown in the
following example. This is required by the Windows login mechanism.
IMPORTANT: If you want to use the HP SIM discovery mechanism, you must provide HP SIM
with the credentials required by HP SE for HP SE to be successful.
domain_name\username
where
• domain_name is the domain name of the element
• username is the name of the account used to access that element
2 To enter an IP address range, click the IP Ranges tab and then the Add Range
button.
If necessary, enter a user name and password for the devices in the range.
During a scan of an IP range, the software uses ping; however, ping is not
guaranteed to return a response from all devices. If the management server is not
able to detect the device during a scan of the IP range, discover the device directly
as described in Step 4.
3 Click the Start Scanning button. The management server detects targets it can
ping and adds them to the IP Address tab automatically. Ping does not guarantee a
response. When you start the discovery process, these addresses are included.
4 If a device was not found during an IP scan, enter an IP address by clicking the IP
Addresses
tab and then the Add Address button.
If necessary, enter a user name and password for the device.
5 Click the Start Discovery button.
6 Run Get Details. See Get Details takes some time. You might want to perform this
process when the network and the managed elements are not busy. Click Tools >
Storage Essentials
> Home > Discovery > Details.
