Discovering Filers, Tape Libraries, Switches and Storage Systems62
4. Return to the Advanced page.
5. Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties field. How you paste the text depends on
your Web browser. If you are using Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, right-click the
field and select Paste.
6. Set the cimom.snmpTrapListenerPort to another port, as shown in the following example:
cimom.snmpTrapListenerPort=1234
where 1234 is the new port
7. When you are done making your changes, click Save.
8. Restart the service for the management server for your changes to take effect.
While AppStorManager is restarting, users are not able to access the management server. The
AppStorManager service must be running for the management server to monitor elements.
Step 4 - Set Up the Proxy to Send Traps to the Correct Port
IMPORTANT: The management server uses the Windows SNMP trap service when Discovery from
HP SIM is used.
When you are using the SNMP setting to discover a proxy, you must configure the SNMP agent on
the proxy manager to send traps to the management server using the port you selected. This
configuration sends traps from all switches managed by that proxy. Refer to your documentation for
your proxy for more information.
Contacting a McDATA or Connectrix Switch Directly
The management server uses SNMP to discover a McDATA or Connectrix switch by its IP address or
DNS name. SNMP is the default setting. If you have changed the setting for discovering switches to
SWAPI, you must change it back to SNMP before you begin the following steps. See ”(Discovery
from HP SE only) Changing the Discovery Settings” on page 64.
Discovery from HP SIM
To discover a McDATA or Connectrix switch directly, provide the following to HP Insight Manager:
• The IP address or system name of the switch 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.
• The user name for accessing the switch. The default user name is “public” (the read-only
community string).
• Password. HP SIM requires you to fill in the password field.
Discovery from HP SE
To discover a McDATA or Connectrix switch directly:
1. Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Home on the HP SIM home page menu. The Storage
Essentials home page opens in a separate web browser window. From the Storage Essentials
home page, click Discovery, then click Setup in the upper-right pane of the Storage
Essentials window.
