Adding McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches
After you add switches to an existing service processor, you must perform Discovery Data
Collection, as described in the following steps. If you are adding switches to a service processor that
has not been discovered yet, see the topic, ”Discovering McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches”
on page 38.
IMPORTANT: Obtaining details takes some time. You might want to perform this process when the
network and the managed elements are not busy.
To run Discovery Data Collection:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run Discovery Data Collection.
2. Click Get Details.
During Discovery Data Collection, the software status light changes from green to red. You can
view the progress of gathering details by accessing the logs. For more information, see ”Viewing
Log Messages” on page 74.
Removing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches
After removing switches from a service processor, remove the switches from the management server
database. For more information, see ”Deleting Discovered Elements” on page 78.
Replacing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches
After replacing switches in the service processor, you must make the management server aware of
your changes by removing the old switches from the user interface and then running Discovery Data
Collection so the management server can discover the new switches. For more information about
Discovery Data Collection, see ”Discovery Data Collection” on page 67. If you are adding switches
to a service processor that has not been discovered yet, see ”Discovering McDATA and EMC
Connectrix Switches” on page 38.
