Discovering Switches, Storage Systems, NAS Devices, and Tape Libraries

Configuring the HP SIM Connector to Pass Devices with the DNS Name

(Optional)

By default, HP SIM passes IP addresses to HP Storage Essentials. You can configure the HP SIM

Connector to pass elements to HP Storage Essentials so that the DNS name is displayed in HP

Storage Essentials discovery lists.
To configure the HP SIM Connector to pass the DNS name:

Open the file C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\
globalsettings.props

Edit the following property as follows: StorageEssentialsSendIPAddress=false.

Save and close the file.

Restart HP SIM.

NOTE:

The StorageEssentialsSendIPAddress property is reset to true if you reinstall the

HP SIM Connector.
