Discovering Applications, Backup Servers and Hosts106
• (Discovery from HP SE only) If your license lets you discover UNIX and/or Linux hosts, the Test
button for discovery reports SUCCESS from any UNIX and/or Linux hosts on which the
management server can detect a CIM Extension. The CIM Extension must be running. The
management server reports “SUCCESS” even if your license restricts you from discovering
certain types of hosts. For example, assume your license lets you discover Solaris hosts but not
AIX hosts. If you click the Test button, the management server reports “SUCCESS” for the AIX
hosts. You will not be able to discover the AIX hosts. The IP address is not discoverable,
because of the license limitation.
• You should have already installed a CIM Extension on the host you want to discover.
• If you want to receive status reports about Get Details or Discovery Data Collection, see
”Configuring E-mail Notification for Discovery Data Collection/Get Details” on page 660 for
information about how to configure this option.
• Depending on your license, you may not be able to access Backup Manager, File System
Viewer and/or monitor certain applications may not be available. See the List of Features to
determine if you have access to Backup Manager, File System Viewer and/or are able to
monitor the other applications. The List of Features is accessible from the Documentation Center
(Help > Documentation Center in Storage Essentials). To learn more about File System
Viewer, refer to the File Servers Guide, which is also available from the Documentation Center.
• If you are unable to discover a UNIX host because of DNS or routing issues, see ”Unable to
Discover a UNIX Host Because of DNS or Routing Issues” on page 676.
(Discovery from HP SIM) Discovery of hosts consists of two steps:
• Detecting the hosts by using HP Systems Insight Manager or Storage Essentials. See ”Step B -
Set Up Discovery for Hosts” on page 107.
• Obtaining details about those hosts by using the Discovery Data Collection feature in Storage
Essentials. See ”Step D - Obtain Details” on page 113.
(Discovery from HP SE) Discovery of hosts consists of three steps:
• Setting up - Finding the elements on the network. See ”Step B - Set Up Discovery for Hosts” on
page 107.
• Topology - Mapping the elements in the topology. See ”Step B - (Discovery from HP SE Only)
Build the Topology” on page 112.
• Details - Obtaining detailed element information. See ”Step D - Obtain Details” on page 113.
Step A - Configure the jboss.properties File
for Backup Servers
Backup Manager monitors your backup applications running on discovered hosts.
IMPORTANT: Complete the steps in this section if you want to discover backup applications, such
as Veritas NetBackup and HP Data Protector, on Windows, HP-UX, and Linux. See the Support
Matrix for more information on supported platforms.
Modify the jboss.properties file in the %JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\conf directory on the
management server as described in the following steps:
