About 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.
After you add these switches to the service processor, you must perform Get Details/Discovery
Data Collection. The management server obtains information about the new switches from the
service processor. See the topic, ”Adding McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 96
for more information about adding switches.
(Discovery from HP SE only)When you remove switches from the service processor, you must
remove them from the management server as well. See the topic, ”(Discovery from HP SE
Only)Removing McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 96 for more information about
removing switches. When you replace McDATA or EMC Connectrix switches, you add and
remove the switches as described previously. See the topic, ”(Discovery from HP SE
Only)Swapping McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 97 for more information.
