Note: Not all devices identified by an IP discovery generate events supported by the
Management Appliance. See Chapter 5 “ Monitoring Events ,” on page 57 for more
information.
SAN Discoveries
The Management Appliance is also connected to the SAN fabric via a fabric
switch. Some devices within the SAN fabric have no SNMP agent or LAN
connection. The Management Appliance uses a SAN discovery to identify storage
elements connected to the local SAN. A SAN discovery identifies HSG and HSV
controllers (or controller pairs) as well as the Management Appliance itself.
This special discovery is preset on the Management Appliance and runs by default
during the update. It is called the Local SAN Discovery and is listed on the
Discovery page (Settings > Discovery). This discovery is set to run on demand
and must be run whenever you add controllers to your SAN or change the
Management Appliance name. Table 3 shows the settings for the Local SAN
Discovery should you need to reset it.
HSV Element Manager If you use the HSV Element Manager to manage HSV
storage elements in your network, you must use the Remote Access feature to
create a user name and password before the HSV Element Manager can be
identified by a SAN discovery. See “ Managing Remote Access ,” on page 31 for
more information about creating such a user name and password.
Managing Discovered Devices
Your Storage Management Appliance can have any number of discoveries running
at various times or started manually. The devices identified by all the IP-based
discoveries are called discovered devices.
