Table 12 (Discovery from HP SIM) Discovering Hosts
Step Description
1 If you have several hosts that use the same password and user name, set that
password and user name as the default. Use the Global Settings (Options >
Protocol Settings
> Global Settings) feature to set your default passwords.
Refer to the documentation that ships with SIM for more information.
2 Discover your host (Options > Discovery > Automatic).
One way to detect multiple IP addresses at once is to add an IP range for
scanning. The management server scans the IP range for elements and
populates the discovery list with element it could contact.
You can then discover those elements. See ”
Adding an IP Range for
Scanning ” on page 24 for more information.
3 Discovery Data Collection is required to obtain information from your
discovered elements. Discovery Data Collection takes some time. You might
want to perform this process when the network and the managed elements
are not busy. Click Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run
Discovery Data Collection
