Discovering Xiotech Storage Systems
IMPORTANT: You must have Xiotech's Intelligent Control (ICON) software installed. If you do not
have the software, contact your Xiotech representative.
Discovery from HP SIM
To discover a Xiotech storage system, provide the following information in HP Systems Insight
Manager:
• IP address or system name for the storage system. Its namespace (
/root/cimv2)is one of the
default namespaces in the wbemportlist.xml file on the server running HP SIM, so you do not
need to add its namespace.
• Although Xiotech storage systems do not require you to enter a user name and password to
discover it, HP SIM does not allow you to leave the user name and password fields blank.
Refer to the HP SIM documentation for more information.
