Discovery process. For more information on switch support, see the support matrix in the
Documentation Center (Help > Documentation Center in HP Storage Essentials).
IMPORTANT: All SMI-S switches require a user name and password.
Discovering Brocade Switches
The management server uses the Brocade SMI-S Provider (also known as the Brocade SMI Agent) to
discover Brocade switches. Before you can discover Brocade switches with SMI-S, however, you
must download and install the Brocade SMI Agent software. See the HP StorageWorks B-Series
document for instructions at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers . Check this web site
