Performing Storage Subsystem Operations 148
NOTE: If you are using StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000 External Storage XP, note the following points
when you configure an external subsystem under Device Manager:
• If an external subsystem is added to Device Manager, but StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000 is not added, Device
Manager will be unable to recognize that the external subsystem is connected as an external system. Make sure that
when you add an external subsystem to Device Manager, you also add StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000.
• If you add the external subsystem to Device Manager after adding StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000, you must
perform a refresh operation on StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000. This enables Device Manager to acquire
information to recognize the external subsystem.
To add a storage subsystem to Device Manager:
1. Log in to Device Manager as a system administrator or storage administrator.
2. Select the Subsystems object in the navigation frame (refer to Figure 10-1 ), and then select the Add
Subsystem method in the method frame.
3. On the Add Subsystem panel, select the type of storage subsystem to be added, such as XP12K/10K.
The displayed information depends on the selected type of storage subsystem. See
Figure 10-2 .
4. Enter the IP address(es) or host name of the storage subsystem. You can enter a maximum of 50 bytes
using the following characters:
A-Z
, a-z, 0-9, -, _, ., @
5. Enter the other required information on the Add Subsystem panel:
• For StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000 and XP1024/XP128, enter the user ID and password (for
Remote Web Console). The user ID and password are required.
• For the StorageWorks XP512/XP48, enter the SNMP community name (such as public) for the
storage subsystem. You can enter a maximum of 15 bytes, using the following characters:
A-Z
, a-z, 0-9
6. When you are finished entering the information for the storage subsystem to be added, select OK to add
the storage subsystem. Device Manager searches through storage subsystems in the network and
detects the specified storage subsystem. You can perform other operations while this process is in
progress, but you cannot add other storage subsystems.
You are notified when the add storage subsystem operation is complete. The name of the new storage
subsystem is in the following format:
storage-subsystem-type@storage-subsystem-IP-address
for example: [email protected]
