Discovery from HP SIM
IMPORTANT: First discover the host running the IBM CIMOM. See ”Adding an IP Range for
Scanning” on page 27 or ”Adding a Single IP Address or DNS Name for Discovery” on page 28
for more information. Then, select Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings
and select the host you discovered as a target. On the System Protocol Settings page, provide the
port number for the host under the WBEM section. You can also provide the user name and
password for the element if it is not one of the default user name and passwords.
To discover an IBM storage system, provide the following information in HP Insight Manager:
• IP address or system name for the system running the IBM CIMOM you want to discover.

(Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings) under the WBEM section. Refer
to the HP SIM documentation for more information.
• User name of the system running the IBM CIMOM.
• Password of the system running the IBM CIMOM.
