b. Make the following entry in the file:
cimomenabled=TRUE
c. Save the file, and then restart the InVsn software.
3. Enter the following information in HP SIM:
• Primary IP address of the host running the InVsn software you want to discover.
•Namespace. If the //root/cntfabric namespace for the InVSN software is not already
included in the wbemportlist.xml file in <HP SIM install
directory>/config/identification, add it in the format <interopnamespace
name="root/cntfabric"/>.
• Port number for the InVsn software. Enter the port number in the WBEM section of the System
Protocol Settings page (Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings).
• User Name for the login to the InVsn software.
• Password for the login to the InVsn software.
Discovering Cisco Switches
The management server discovers Cisco switches through SNMP and SMI-S connections,
depending on the switch model. See the support matrix for your edition for details on supported
switch models and firmware revisions.
Note the following when discovering Cisco switches with SNMP:
• HP SIM does not allow blank passwords. Since Cisco SNMP switches do not use a password,
enter anything for the password.
• You can view zones, zone sets and zone aliases on a Cisco switch; however, you cannot use the
management server to create, modify or remove them from a Cisco switch.
• The management server gathers information about the Cisco inactive database during Discovery
Data Collection. You can change the amount of information that is collected by modifying a
property. For more information, see ”Changing the Amount of Information Collected from the
Inactive Zone Database (Cisco Switches)” on page 534.
• The management server groups active zone sets in all Virtual SANs (VSANs) in a fabric into a
zone set called ACTIVE, which is shown associated with the physical fabric. The members of the
ACTIVE zone set (zones, zone sets, zone aliases) have the name of the VSAN prefixed to their
name. For example, an active zone named ZONE1 from a VSAN named VSAN1 is displayed
as a zone on the physical fabric with name VSAN1:CISCO1:ZONE1.
• No ports are reported for uninstalled blades or GBICs.
• To receive events from Cisco switches, verify that the SNMP trap community string is set to match
the community string defined in the HP Storage Essentials custom properties (the default is
public), and make sure the SNMP traps are configured to be sent to the management server.
For more information, see ”Changing the SNMP Trap Listener Port and Community String for
Switches Discovered with SNMP” on page 46
Note the following when discovering Cisco switches with SMI-S:
• Before you can discover Cisco switches with SMI-S, you must download and install the Cisco
cimserver software. See the HP StorageWorks C-Series document for instructions. You can access
