•If you selected No in the Brocade SMI Agent Enabling Security window, you can enter
any username and password because security for the proxy server was not enabled.
• For Brocade SMI Agent installed on Linux or Solaris, see the Brocade SMI Agent
documentation for more information about SMI Agent security for Linux or Solaris.
Discovering CNT Switches
The management server uses the CNT SMI-S provider to discover CNT switches. This provider
communicates with CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager to obtain information about the switch. The
provider requires a certain version of InVsn, depending on the switch model. See the support matrix
for the required InVSN version for your switch model.
IMPORTANT: The InVsn credentials are used by the SMI-S provider. Make sure the SMI-S provider
is enabled as described in the discovery process for CNT Switches.
When discovering CNT switches, note the following:
• SNMP is not supported for CNT switches.
• CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager must be running for the management server to discover it.
• The management server does not support provisioning for CNT switches. Only the active zone
set and its zone members are reported.
• No ports are reported for uninstalled blades or Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs).
Discovery Process for CNT Switches
To discover CNT switches:
1. Discover the host running the InVSN software.
a. Select Options > Discovery to open the HP SIM Automatic Discovery page.
b. Click New on the HP SIM Discovery page Automatic tab.
c. Enter a name for the discovery task in the Name box.
d. Clear the Automatically execute discovery every check box.
e. Enter the IP address of the host running the InVSN software in the Ping inclusion ranges,
system (hosts) names, templates, and/or hosts files box.
f. Select the discovery task and click Run Now.
HP SIM pings the host. If the ping is successful, the element is added to HP SIM’s
All Systems collection.
g. Select Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings and select the host you
discovered as a target and provide the port number for the host in the WBEM section.
2. Take the following steps in the CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager software:
