HP Storage Essentials V5.1 Installation Guide Second Edition (Linux Release) (T4283-96055, November 2006)

Discovering NAS Devices, Tape Libraries, Switches and Storage Systems80
This provider communicates with CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager to obtain information about the
switch. The provider requires a certain version of InVsn depending on the switch model. See the
following table for more information.
IMPORTANT: The InVsn credentials are used by the SMI-S provider. Make sure the SMI-S provider
is enabled as described in the steps in this section.
Keep in mind the following for CNT switches:
• SNMP is not supported for CNT switches.
• CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager must be running for the management server to discover it.
• The management server does not support provisioning for CNT switches. Only the active zone
set and its zone members are reported.
• No ports are reported for uninstalled blades or GBICs.
Discovery from HP SIM
IMPORTANT: First discover the host running the InVSN software. See ”Adding an IP Range for
Scanning” on page 65 or ”Adding a Single IP Address or DNS Name for Discovery” on page 66
for more information. Then, select Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings
and select the host you discovered as a target. On the System Protocol Settings page, provide the
port number for the host under the WBEM section. You can also provide the user name and
password for the element if it is not one of the default user name and passwords.
1. Before you can discover a CNT switch, you must do the following in the CNT InVsn Enterprise
Manager software:
a. Open the file ProductInfo.ini in a text editor, such as Notepad. If the software was
installed in the default directory, this file should be in the following directory:
\Program Files\CNT\inVSN_EM
b. Change the following entry in the file:
cimomenabled=TRUE
c. Save the file, then restart the InVsn software.
To discover a CNT switch in HP Systems Insight Manager, you must provide the following:
