Discovering Sun StorEdge and QLogic Switches
The management server discovers Sun StorEdge switches through an SNMP connection and
QLogic switches—depending on the model—are discovered through SNMP or SMI-S. See the
Support Matrix for details on supported switch models and firmware revisions.
Keep in mind the following for Sun StorEdge and QLogic SNMP switches:
• When you discover a Sun StorEdge or QLogic SNMP switch in HP SE, you do not need to
provide a password if you discover it in HP SE. HP SIM requires a password.
• The management server does not support provisioning for Sun StorEdge and QLogic switches.
Only the active zone set and its zone members are reported.
• To manage a fabric of Sun StorEdge and/or QLogic switches, every switch in the fabric must
be included in the discovery list. If a switch is not included in the discovery list, it may show up
as a generic host system.
• No ports are reported for uninstalled blades or GBICs.
• The default SNMP trap listener port for all Sun StorEdge switches is 162. To change this port,
see ” Changing the SNMP Trap Listener Port for Sun StorEdge Switches ” on page 44.
• To receive events from Sun StorEdge switches, verify the SNMP trap community string is set to
public in SANbox Manager or via telnet. Also, make sure the SNMP traps are configured to be
sent to the management server. See ” About Event Manager ” on page 453 for more
information.
Keep in mind the following for QLogic SMI-S switches:
• A user name and password are required to discover any SMI-S switch.
• You must perform Get Details or Discovery Data Collection to obtain all available information
from QLogic SMI-S switches—otherwise, attributes such as vendor, fabric, and port information
will be missing for the QLogic SMI-S switches.
Discovery from HP SIM
IMPORTANT: Provide the SNMP credentials in the WBEM settings section on the System Protocol
Settings page (Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings). Only the WBEM
default credentials are passed from HP SIM to HP SE. Any default credential information you set up
in regards to SNMP is not passed from HP SIM to HP SE.
To discover a Sun StorEdge or QLogic switch in HP Insight Manager, provide the following:
• System name or primary IP address of the a Sun StorEdge or QLogic switch you want to
discover. See ” Adding an IP Range for Scanning ” on page 24 or ” Adding a Single IP Address
or DNS Name for Discovery ” on page 25 for more information.
• Do one of the following:
• For Sun StorEdge or QLogic switches with SNMP connections:
Provide the user name for the switch. This is the public community SNMP string for the
switch.
