Discovering HDS Storage Systems

HiCommand Device Manager is required for the management server to communicate with an HDS

storage system. To discover an HDS storage system, enter the IP address, user name and password

for the server running HiCommand Device Manager. Do not point to the disk array for the storage

system.
To obtain information about HDS storage systems, the management server must be able to access

the port HiCommand Device Manager uses to listen. By default, HiCommand Device Manager

listens on port 2001, and the management server assumes this configuration at discovery time. If

HiCommand Device Manager uses a different port, specify this other port when you discover

HiCommand Device Manager.
Keep in mind the following:

You cannot scan an IP range to discover an instance of HiCommand Device Manager that

listens on a port other than 2001. The management server does not allow port numbers in the

scanning of IP ranges, and thus, you are not able to specify the port.

The management server communicates with HiCommand Device Manager through a nonsecure

connection. If you want the management server to communicate with HiCommand Device

Manager through a secure sockets layer (SSL) connection, you must modify an internal property

or use HTTPS when you discover HiCommand Device Manager. See

Communicating with

HiCommand Device Manager Over SSL

” on page 624.
