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

Storage Essentials 5.1 Installation Guide 105
If the cimom.symmetrix.exclude property, the management server discovers and obtains
details from all EMC Symmetrix Storage Systems managed by discovered Solutions Enablers.
IMPORTANT: The IP addresses of excluded elements appear in the discovery (Tools > Storage
Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup), topology (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home >
Discovery > Topology), Discovery Data Collection (Options > Storage Essentials >
Discovery > Run Discovery Data Collection), or Get Details lists (Tools > Storage Essentials
> Home > Discovery > Details). The management server does not display additional information
about excluded elements in the user interface. The management server, however, does mention in
the logs (Discovery > View LogsTasks & Logs > View Storage Essentials Log) that a provider
instance has been created for an excluded element. You can ignore this message that appears in
the logs.
To modify the cimom.symmetrix.exclude property:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in
the Disk Space tree.
2. Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
3. Copy the following command. How you copy the text depends on your Web browser. If you are
using Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, select the text and then right-click the selected
text. Then, select Copy.
#cimom.symmetrix.exclude=000183500570,000183500575
4. Return to the Advanced page.
5. Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties field. How you paste the text depends on
your Web browser. If you are using Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, right-click the
field and select Paste.
6. Make sure the property is not commented out by removing the hash (#) symbol in front of the
property. Add the serial numbers corresponding to the Symmetrix storage systems you want to
exclude from discovery. Separate additional serial numbers with a comma, as shown by the
following example:
cimom.symmetrix.exclude
=000183500570,000183500575
where 000183500570 and 000183500575 are serial numbers for Symmetrix storage systems.
7. When you are done, click Save.
8. Restart the service for the management server for your changes to take effect.
While AppStorManager is restarting, users are not able to access the management server. The
AppStorManager service must be running for the management server to monitor elements.
Discovering EMC CLARiiON Storage Systems
The EMC Navisphere® CLI must be installed on the management server for the management server
to communicate with the CLARiiON® storage system. At the time this documentation was created,
EMC distributed the Navisphere CLI as part of the EMC Navisphere Software Suite. Contact your
EMC representative for more information about obtaining the Navisphere CLI. Distribution rights for
the Navisphere CLI belong to EMC. For Solaris, you must install the Navisphere Disk Array
Management Tool CLI (NAVICLI).
