Discovering Elements
HP recommends a phased discovery process in which you create separate tasks for groups of
elements. Discover your elements in the following order:
1. Switches and switch proxies (for more information, see ”Discovering Switches” on page 29).
2. Storage systems (for more information, see ”Discovering Storage Systems” on page 47).
3. NAS devices and tape libraries (for more information, see ”Discovering NAS Devices and Tape
Libraries” on page 63).
4. Applications, backup servers and hosts are discovered later after you install the CIM extensions
(for more information, see ”Deploying and Managing CIM Extensions” on page 155 and
”Discovering Applications, Backup Hosts and Hosts” on page 83).
Use the following procedure for each discovery task:
1. Decide if you will use global or system credentials for the discovery task. For tips on how to
choose the credential type that best suits your environment see ”Choosing Between System and
Global Credentials” on page 22.
2. If you decide to use global credentials, enter them now:
NOTE: System credentials are entered later in this procedure.
