Discovering Filers, Tape Libraries, Switches and Storage Systems64
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 3 - 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.
(Discovery from HP SE only) Changing the Discovery Settings
To change the discovery settings from SWAPI to SNMP or vice versa:
1. Delete all McDATA and Connectrix switches in the application by going to the Get Topology for
Discovered Elements table (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Topology)
and selecting the switches you want to delete. Then, click the Delete button. See ”Accessing the
Discovery Pages for HP SIM and HP SE” on page 31 if needed.
2. Delete all McDATA and Connectrix switches listed in the Addresses To Discover table (Tools >
Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup) by selecting the switches you want to
delete and clicking the Delete button.
3. Remove the elements from HP SIM. See ”Deleting Elements from the Product” on page 92 for
more information.
4. Click Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced
in the Disk Space tree.

a number sign (#) in front of the cimom.useSnmpMcDataProvider property as follows:
#cimom.useSnmpMcDataProvider=false
• SWAPI setting - Remove the number sign (#) in front of the
cimom.useSnmpMcDataProvider property.
7. Click Save.
8. Restart the service for the management server.
