Discovering Elements
HP recommends a phased discovery process in which you create separate tasks for groups of
elements. Discover your elements in the following order:
1. Switches and switch proxies (for more information, see ” Discovering Switches ” on page 29).
2. Storage systems (for more information, see ” Discovering Storage Systems ” on page 47).
3. NAS devices and tape libraries (for more information, see ” Discovering NAS Devices and Tape
Libraries ” on page 63).
4. Applications, backup servers and hosts are discovered later after you install the CIM extensions
(for more information, see ” Deploying and Managing CIM Extensions ” on page 155 and
” Discovering Applications, Backup Hosts and Hosts ” on page 83).
Use the following procedure for each discovery task:
1. Decide if you will use global or system credentials for the discovery task. For tips on how to
choose the credential type that best suits your environment see ” Choosing Between System and
Global Credentials ” on page 22.
2. If you decide to use global credentials, enter them now:
NOTE: System credentials are entered later in this procedure.
