NOTE: The sample file is located in <HP SIM install directory>/config on Windows
and /opt/mx/config on Linux.
Editing Rules for the Selective Discovery Filter
Use the following rules when editing the selective discovery filter:
• If you edit the selective discovery filter on a Windows system, do not use Notepad because it
will not preserve the file formatting.
• If you want to edit the selective discovery filter file at run time, set the following property to true
in the globalsetting.props file:
StorageEssentialsDiscoveryFilterReload=true.
NOTE: The globalsetting.props file is located in <HP SIM install
directory>/config on Windows and /etc/opt/mx/config on Linux.
This setting allows the HP SIM Connector to access the new filter file without being restarted.
After the HP SIM Connector accesses the file, you can change this setting to false if there will
not be any changes in the future. With the false setting the file will not get loaded again when
the filter is needed because the HP SIM Connector uses the cached and compiled filter.
If you update the globalsetting.props file, you must restart HP SIM to activate the
changes.
• Each line of the SEDiscoveryFilterList file indicates a flag, an IP address, or a comment.
For example, in the sample selective discovery filter file below, inclusive and exclusive
are flags, items preceded by the pound sign (#) are comments, and the numbers indicate IP
addresses or IP address ranges.

12.34.45.23
14.255.255.23
12.34.45.56 - 12.44.45.34

16.34.23.* - 17.45.7.*
23.22.12.* - 23.34.12.*
• Mixing flags, comments, and IP addresses on a single line can result in an invalid line that will
not be processed.
