2. Discover the standby CV EVA host in Step 1 discovery from HP Storage Essentials.
3. Perform Get Details/Discovery Data Collection from HP Storage Essentials.
If you are using Command View EVA 6.x, and you have active and standby Command View EVA
proxy machines, you can discover both the managed array and the unmanaged array. If only the
unmanaged array is discovered, just the top level array information is collected. This will be
signified by a status of “managed_by_other_agent” for the array.
If both the managed and unmanaged array are discovered, they need to stay in the same discovery
group. They can be moved to other discovery groups, but they must be moved at the same time.
When discovering the arrays separately, the array that has already been discovered must be in the
Default discovery group.
Discovering HP StorageWorks XP Arrays
You can discover HP StorageWorks XP Arrays by using the following:
• Command View XP
• Command View XP Advanced Edition
• XP Provider
To determine provisioning support for HP StorageWorks Arrays, see Table 52 on page 359 and
Table 53 on page 360.
IMPORTANT: The Command View XP SMI agent does not return information related to external
storage available to the HP XP storage arrays, including external LDEVs. As a result, that information
is not available in the management server user interface or reports.
Discovering HP XP Arrays by Using Command View XP
To discover HP StorageWorks XP arrays by using Command View XP, you must enter the following
information for the instance of the HP CIMOM used to manage the storage system:
• user name and password used for accessing the HP CIMOM
• IP address of the server containing the HP CIMOM
HP StorageWorks Command View XP should be installed on a server before you discover an HP XP
storage system.

for Scanning” on page 27 or ”Adding a Single IP Address or DNS Name for Discovery” on
page 28 for more information.
