Storage Essentials, you see a submenu listing several features. These features are only in Storage Essentials. Figure 1 Accessing Features from the Tools > Storage Essentials Menu Some features are not directly accessible from the menus in HP Systems Insight Manager. For example, to edit a role, you must access Storage Essentials first. You can access Storage Essentials numerous ways. One way to access Storage Essentials is to select Tools > Storage Essentials > Home.
The Documentation Center provides the documentation set for Storage Essentials, including the PDFs, online help, release notes, and support matrix. Figure 3 Accessing the Documentation Center To manage and monitor your elements in Storage Essentials, discover your elements in HP Systems Insight Manager or HP Storage Essentials. This product provides two types of discovery: • Discovery from HP SIM - Lets you perform all of your discovery tasks within the framework of Systems Insight Manager.
The management server's integrated storage management lowers your cost of acquiring and managing a heterogeneous storage environment. Storage Management Terms • CIM - A common data model of an implementation-neutral schema for describing overall management information in a network/enterprise environment. • Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) - An initiative based on a set of management and Internet standard technologies developed to unify the management of enterprise computing environments.
• Management server - The management server provides various tools to let you monitor and manage your SAN devices. See ”Management Server Components” on page 5 for more information about these tools. • CIM Extensions - A CIM Extension gathers information from the operating system and host bus adapters. It then makes the information available to the management server. For more information, see the following in the glossary. Refer to the Installation Guide for information on how to install the CIM Extensions.
• Command Line Interface - The command line interface (CLI) provides an alternate way for you to manage elements the management server monitors. You can use the CLI commands in scripts to manage your storage. • File System Viewer - File System Viewer does a recursive lookup on the file system and stores the information in an embedded database. File System Viewer can scan files very quickly because of its structure in the database and because it uses a multi-threaded process.
About the User Interface on the SE Home Page The SE Home page provides a gateway into the functionality for SE. To access the SE Home page, select Tools > Storage Essentials > Home. The user interface for the Home page is split into several panes: • Top pane - It provides access to discovery and configuration features, in addition to features that let you change your login profile. • Left pane - Displays the status light.
Table 2 Status Light Settings Discovery Backup Topology Details Include infrastructure details NOTE: When the status light is orange or red, you may want to click the text to the left of the light to access discovery logs quickly (Tasks & Logs > View Storage Essentials Log). About the Left Pane The left pane displays the buttons used to access the management server's main utilities.
• Policy Manager - Policy Manager lets you set up rules so that an automated response occurs when a particular event happens or a value triggers the system. See ”About Policy Manager” on page 579. • Business Tools - The management server provides advisors and automators. Advisors provides detailed information for you to make informed decisions about your network, such as non-compliant HBA firmware. Automators let you automate particular tasks.
Table 3 Icons on the Home Page (continued) Feature Description Where to Find More Information System Manager shows you the topology of your SAN and gives you the ability to explore details about each element. ”Viewing Element Topology and Properties” on page 245 Performance Manager provides detailed performance management capabilities enabling you to visualize what you have and how it is performing.
Table 3 Icons on the Home Page (continued) Feature Business Tools Reporting Description Where to Find More Information Business Tools helps you manage the business aspect of your network. You can use Advisors to retrieve important network information, and Automators to automate tasks. ”Business Tools” on page 643 Reporting provides reports using data collected by the management server.
To install the Java plug-in: 1. Go to the following URL and download the installation file for the Sun JRE when asked: http:///appiq/j2re-1_4_2_04-solaris-sparc.sh where is the hostname of the management server. 2. In a terminal window, execute the downloaded file in a directory where you want the JRE installed. This executable installs the Sun JRE on your computer.
Installing the Certificate by Using Microsoft Explorer 6.0 1. Access the management server by typing the following: https://machinename where machinename is the name of the management server. 2. When the security alert message appears, click OK. If you do not want the Web browser to warn you about a secure connection at any Web site, select the In the future, do not show this warning option. 3. When you are told there is a problem with the site's security certificate, click the View Certificate button. 4.
"The security certificate has a valid name matching the name of the page you are trying to view." When you change the certificate, you must use the generateAppiqKeystore.bat program to delete the original certificate. Then, use the generateAppiqKeystore.bat program to create a new certificate and to copy the new certificate to the management server. To change the certificate: 1. Go to the %MGR_DIST%\Tools directory. 2.
2 Discovering NAS Devices, Tape Libraries, Switches and Storage Systems Before you can use the management server, you must make the software aware of the elements on your network. An element is anything on the network that can be detected by the management server, such as a switch. This is done through the discovery process. Discovery obtains a list of discovered elements and information about their management interface and dependencies.
• ”Overview of Discovery Features” on page 22 • ”Step 1 - Discover Switches” on page 31 • ”Step 2 - Discover Storage Systems, NAS Devices and Tape Libraries” on page 58 • ”Step 3 (Discovery from HP SE Only) - Build the Topology” on page 85 • ”Step 4 - Discovery Data Collection or Get Details” on page 90 • ”Troubleshooting Mode” on page 94 • ”Managing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 95 • ”Assigning a File Extension in Netscape 7” on page 97 • ”Filtering Discovery Groups” on page 98 • ”Moving Elem
from HP SIM. Credentials are passed from HP SIM to HP SE, so if you perform Discovery from HP SIM, the user names and passwords for discovering those elements appear in HP SE. • Multiple entries in SE may result when modifying username and password in HP SIM - If you use Discovery from HP SIM, the user name and passwords for those elements are forwarded HP SE. If you modify a user name for an element in Discovery from HP SIM, the modification is passed to HP SE as a new discovery entry for that element.
Selective Discovery Filter The Selective Discovery Filter provides the capability to selectively filter the devices that are passed from HP SIM to HP SE for discovery operations. The filter is a file created by the user that contains a list of the IP addresses that should (or should not) be passed to HP SE. The filter does not impact the device discovery operations within HP SIM. It only restricts the data that is sent from HP SIM to HP SE.
IMPORTANT: Because of subtle differences between discovery from HP SIM and HP SE, HP strongly recommends you do either all of your discovery steps in HP SIM or HP SE. See ”Differences Between HP SE and HP SIM Discovery” on page 16 for more information about the differences between HP SIM and HP SE discovery. Discovery from HP SIM Steps Discovery of switches, storage systems, NAS devices and tape libraries consists of several steps: 1. Discover your switches by using HP Systems Insight Manager.
• After you discover an EMC Connectrix or McDATA switch, the IP address displayed next to the name of the switch is actually the IP address of the service processor for the switch in the Get Details/Discovery Data Collection screens. To find the IP address of the switch, click the link for the switch in one of the following screens: • Run Discovery Data Collection screen (Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run Discovery Data Collection) for Discovery from HP SIM.
as they can be accessed directly. Make sure the proxy service has started. On a computer running Windows, this can be determined by looking in the Services window. EMC Solutions Enabler version 5.1 requires additional steps for discovery. See ”Discovering EMC Solutions Enabler 5.1” on page 62 for more information. NOTE: Before performing any provisioning operations that involve a Brocade switch you must perform Discovery Step 3 for any subset of elements that includes this Brocade switch.
Use the following table for SE discovery steps. See ”Accessing the Discovery Pages for HP SIM and HP SE” on page 17 if needed. Table 5 HP SE Discovery Steps for Switches, NAS Devices, and Storage Systems Step Description 1 If you have several switches and storage systems that use the same password and user name, set that password and user name as the default. See ”Setting Default User Names and Passwords” on page 23 for more information. 2 Discover your switches.

Discovery from HP SE Instead of adding each IP address individually for scanning, the management server can detect a range of IP addresses, automatically populating the list of elements to be discovered. Keep in mind the following: • Include in the scanning, the proxy server that has a direct connection or a SAN connection to the management server, such as the EMC Solutions Enabler. Make sure the proxy service has started.
• The following steps provide general information on how to discover an element. See Table 6 on page 32, Table 11 on page 59, and Table 13 on page 109. • To obtain drive-related statistics, install a proxy host. Ensure the proxy host has at least one LUN rendered by each controller of the array. See ”Obtaining Disk Drive Statistics from Engenio Storage Systems” on page 135 for more information. • (Discovery from HP SE only) The Do Not Authenticate option is for Engenio storage systems.
• If you do not want to do provisioning on a storage system, leave the Password field blank.

When elements are removed from an organization, users belonging only to that organization are no longer able to access the removed elements. Keep in mind the following: • Depending on your license, role-based security may not be available. See the “List of Features” to determine if you have access to role-based security.
organizations, onlyHosts and onlySwitchesandHosts. The organization onlyHosts contains only hosts, and the organization onlySwitchesandHosts contains only switches and hosts. If you delete the onlySwitchesandHosts organization, you will still have access to hosts because you still belong to the onlyHosts organization. Keep in mind the following: • You cannot remove the Everything organization, which is the default organization.
Filtering Organizations The management server provides a filtering feature that lets you designate which organizations are active in your view. For example, assume you belong to an organization name Hosts and this organization contains two organizations: “Windows Hosts” and “Solaris Hosts.” If you want to view elements only in “Windows Hosts” and not in “Solaris Hosts” organizations, you could use the filtering feature to activate only the “Windows Hosts” organization.
You can now only obtain information about elements in the active organizations. The active organizations are listed in the link next to the filter button, as shown in the following figure. Figure 11 Active Organization Changing the Password of System Accounts The management server uses the following accounts to access and manage the database for the management server. You should change the passwords to these accounts to prevent unauthorized access.
a. Log onto the server running HP Systems Insight Manager. b. Stop the AppStorManager service if it is started. c. Enter the following at the command prompt: C:\> mxpassword -m -x MxDBUserPassword=mynewPass where mynewPass is your new password for the database. d. Stop the HP Systems Insight Manager service so that it cannot access the database. It is very important that the HP Systems Insight Manager service does not access the database before you are finished with changing the password for the database.

How you modify the login-handler.xml file depends on whether you plan to use LDAP or Active Directory.
• If you are using Active Directory, prefix the user name with the domain name, for example: domain\PrimaryUser 2. In the login-handler.xml file, comment out the section that contains com.appiq.security.server.BasicLoginhandler, which enables internal authentication mode. Only one login handler is allowed at a time. 3.
IMPORTANT: AD servers are not case sensitive for user names so changing this tag to “true” for AD authentication is not recommended. The login-handler.xml file contains two sets of tags: one for Active Directory and one for LDAP. Make sure you change the value of the tags that are children of the tag. 9. Provide the Active Directory search base in which you want the management server to look up AD/LDAP user attributes.
