Step 3 (Discovery from HP SE Only) -
Build the Topology
This section is only for Discovery from HP SE, and it describes the following:
• ”Building the Topology View” on page 89
• ”Modifying the Properties of a Discovered Address” on page 90
• ”Deleting Elements from the Product” on page 92
Building the Topology View
After you discover elements, the management server requires you to build a topology view, which is
a graphical representation of port-level connectivity information.
If a switch has more than one connection to an element, the number of connections is displayed
above the line linking the switch and the element. For example, assume the number two is shown
between a switch and a storage system. This means the elements have two connections to each
other. To view the port details for the connection, right-click the element and select Show Port
Details from the drop-down menu.
If the topology changes, you can update how the element is viewed in the topology by selecting the
element and clicking the Get Topology for Selected button in the Get Topology for discovered
elements page (from the HP SIM home page, click Tools > Storage Essentials > Home. The
Storage Essentials home page opens in a separate web browser window. Click Discovery >
Topology in the upper right pane of the Storage Essentials home page). The management server
obtains just enough information about where the element is connected in the topology, for example
a switch connected to a host.
The management server marks an element with a question mark in the topology if the management
server detects an element but it cannot obtain additional information about it. To learn more about
fixing detected and/or disconnected elements, see the topic, ”Troubleshooting Topology Issues” on
page 263.
