HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 User Guide 45
The management server excludes the switches with the following WWNs: 1000080088A07024
and 1000080088A0D0B6
If the cimom.mcdata.exclude property is not modified, the management server discovers and
obtains details from all McDATA and Connectrix switches.
IMPORTANT: The IP addresses of excluded elements appear in the discovery (Tools > Storage
Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup), topology (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery
> Topology), and Discovery Data Collection (Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run
Discovery Data Collection), lists. The management server does not display additional information
about excluded elements in the user interface. The management server, however, does mention in
the logs (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > View Logs) that a provider instance has
been created for an excluded element. You can ignore this log message.
To modify the cimom.mcdata.exclude property:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health, and then click Advanced in the
Disk Space tree.
2. Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
3. Copy the cimom.mcdata.exclude property.
4. Click Close to return to the Advanced page.
5. Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties box.
6. Make your changes to the text in the Custom Properties box. Remove the pound (#) symbol in
front of the property to make sure it is not commented out.
7. Add the WWNs corresponding to the switches you want to exclude from discovery. Separate
additional WWNs with a comma, as shown by the following example:
cimom.mcdata.exclude=1000080088A07024,1000080088A0D0B6
where 1000080088A07024 and 1000080088A0D0B6 are the WWNs for McDATA and
Connectrix switches.
8. When you are done, click Save.
Managing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches
Whenever you add, remove or replace McDATA or EMC Connectrix switches in an
already-discovered service processor, you must make the management server aware of those
changes by performing Discovery Data Collection to obtain information about the new switches
from the service processor. For more information about adding switches, see, ”Adding McDATA and
EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 46.
When you remove switches from the service processor, you must remove them from the management
server. For more information about removing switches, see ”Removing McDATA and EMC
Connectrix Switches” on page 46.
When you replace McDATA or EMC Connectrix switches, you add and remove the switches as
described previously. For more information, see ”Replacing McDATA and EMC Connectrix
Switches” on page 46.
