To discover and collect data from a storage system:

1. Verify that the storage system has an installed and configured

SMI-S provider

. See HP Systems Insight

Manager Storage management and SMI-S providers at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/

servers/management/hpsim/smi-s-providers.html and the HP SIM user guides located at

at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/

infolibrary.html for more information about obtaining and installing SMI-S providers.

2. Enter the user name and password for the

SMI CIMOM

in the Default WBEM settings section on the

“Setting global protocols” page.

3. Add each SMI CIMOM IP address to the System Automatic Discovery task, or create a new discovery

task. See “Editing a discovery task” and “Creating a new discovery task” for instructions.

Your storage systems will be discovered after the next automatic discovery task. If you want to discover

your storage systems immediately, run the discovery task. See “Running a discovery task” for instructions.

Subscribe to WBEM indication events

If a storage system's

SMI-S provider

supports WBEM indication events and you want to view WBEM indication

events on the Event View page, you must subscribe to WBEM events for the storage system. See “Subscribing

to WBEM indications” for instructions.
