HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 User Guide for Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition SRM Software (July 2008)

Only Discovery Data Collection removes elements that are no longer there from the user

interface. For example, removed ports could appear in Port Details but not in the topology for

the host if you refresh the element, instead of Discovery Data Collection.

• All discovered elements are accessible in Business Tools, regardless of a user's restrictions. For

example, assume your account belongs to an organization that has only hosts as members. If

you run Switch Risk Analysis, the management server still provides information about whether the

switches are a risk in your environment.

Using Business Tools in Remote AD/LDAP Authentication Mode

To use Business Tools in remote AD/LDAP authentication mode:

1. Log in to the server where you have installed HP Storage Essentials as an administrator or a

person with administrator privileges.

2. Run the CLI tool from a command prompt. Enter the following:

%CLI_DIR%\cli\bin

At the command prompt type, enter:

appiconfig

3. At the username prompt, enter the AD/LDAP username you have designated in your

4. Specify the AD/LDAP password for this user

5. Specify the server as localhost.

6. Accept the defaults for remaining prompts. The following message is displayed:

CLI configuration is set; ready to issue commands

7. Log in to HP Storage Essentials using the specified AD username and password.

8. Launch Business Tools.

NOTE: If you change the password on the AD server for the user you have specified, you will have

to execute these steps again and provide the new password.

Using the HBA Replacement Automator

The HBA Replacement Automator makes the management server aware of a replaced HBA card so

that the latest information for zoning and LUN masking is still available. You must complete all steps

to prevent LUN masking from being lost after running the HBA Replacement Automator.

IMPORTANT: After installing the new HBA, you must run Discovery Data Collection before you run

the HBA Replacement Automator script; otherwise, you cannot change zone and zone aliases to

accommodate the new Worldwide Name (WWN).

You have two ways to replace the HBA. You can install the new HBA with the old HBA or you can

install the new HBA by itself.
