Discovering 3PAR Storage Systems
NOTE: You do not need to provide the interop namespace because the management server
includes the interop namespace for 3PAR storage systems in its default list.
IMPORTANT: To be able to discover a 3PAR storage system, the SMI-S server for the 3PAR
storage system must be running. By default, the 3PAR SMI-S server is not started on the array. To
start the SMI-S server, bring up the InForm CLI and run the following command:
startcim
This command starts the SMI-S server within a minute or so.
