Discovery

To discover an XP P9500 array, you can either discover it with a CVAE server or discover it with
embedded SMI-S. Do not use both methods of discovery together because there are chances for
Data collection and WBEM subscriptions to fail.

The HP SIM discovery process for systems running Command View includes the following:

CV XP on port 80 (http)

CV VA/SDM on port 4096 (http)

CV TL on port 4095 (http)

Discovery of Command View EVA is encapsulated within the discovery of the HP StorageWorks
Storage Management Appliance on ports 2301 or 2381

HP SIM must be permitted to access the web server.

NOTE:

To access the links to Command View, select Tools
