IMPORTANT: Provide the SNMP credentials in the WBEM settings section on the System Protocol
Settings page (Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings). Only the WBEM
default credentials are passed from HP SIM to HP SE. Any default credential information you set up
in regards to SNMP is not passed from HP SIM to HP SE.
To discover the proxy, you must provide the following information to HP Systems Insight Manager:
• IP address or system name of the EFC Manager/Connectrix Manager you want to discover. See
”Adding an IP Range for Scanning” on page 37 or ”Adding a Single IP Address or DNS Name
for Discovery” on page 38 for more information.
• User name - The default user name, which is “public” (the read-only community string). This is the
user name of the proxy.
• HP SIM does not allow blank passwords. Enter anything for the password.
See the HP SIM documentation for more detailed information.

1. Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Home on the HP SIM home page menu. The Storage

home page, click Discovery, then click Setup in the upper right pane of the Storage
Essentials window.
