Storage Resource Manager Enterprise Edition Installation Guide

6–22 Storage Resource Manager Enterprise Edition
Installing and Registering Plug-ins
Plug-In Prerequisites
The SRM 4.0B Windows NT/Windows 2000 Agent must be installed on the computer
that you want to act as the SRM proxy agent.
Before you Register this Plug-In
The Plug-In Registration Wizard prompts you for the following information; organize
it beforehand to save time:
• The TCP/IP address of the SAN switch in dotted notation (for example,
255.255.255.255).
Using the Plug-In Registration Wizard
When registering a SAN Switch with the SRM Server, provide the following
information in the Required Registration Information dialog box:
• TCP/IP Address — Enter the TCP/IP address of the switch in dotted notation (for
example, 255.255.255.255).
• SRM Display Name — Enter the name of the SAN switch that you want to be
displayed in SRM reports. This name is arbitrary. It can be any name that has
meaning in your enterprise storage network.
If you successfully registered the SAN switch, it is located in the group named
SANSwitch Group.
Editing Scan Proxy Information
Using SRM, you can edit the proxy system settings for a registered SAN Switch. This
consists of changing the SRM Agent computer to use for computer scans.
To edit scan proxy information:
1. Launch SRM.
2. Click the Options tab, and then click the Scans notebook.
3. In the navigation pane, click select proxy. The Select Proxy dialog box displays.
4. Next to the SAN Switch option, click Modify. The Modify Scan Settings for SAN
Switch dialog box displays.
5. In the Select a managed object list box, choose the SAN switch object you want to
modify, and make the necessary changes.
