HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux
Configuring SMI-S providers
Occasionally, it might be necessary to modify an SMI-S provider's port number or password. Use
the provider documentation to perform these modifications.
For example, if two CIMOMs exist on the same host, you must configure them to use different ports
to communicate with the CMS.
Configuring Systems Insight Manager to discover storage systems
After verifying that each storage system's SMI-S provider is installed and configured, configure
Systems Insight Manager to discover the storage systems by performing the following steps:
1. Enter the user name and password for each provider's SMI CIMOM in the Default WBEM
settings section on the Setting Global Protocols page.
2. Add each SMI CIMOM IP address to the System Automatic Discovery task or to the Creating
a New Discovery task. For more information, see the HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 User
Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/
infolibrary.html.
Systems Insight Manager discovers the storage systems after the next automatic discovery task. To
discover your storage systems immediately, run the discovery task as described in the âRunning
a Discovery Taskâ section of the HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 User Guide at http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.
