HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 with SP1 Installation and Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows

Configuring SMI-S providers
Occasionally, it might be necessary to modify an SMI-S provider’s port number or password. Use the
provider’s 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 HP SIM to discover storage systems
After verifying that each storage system’s SMI-S provider is installed and configured, configure HP SIM 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. See the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide at http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information.
HP SIM discovers the storage systems after the next automatic discovery task. If you want to discover your
storage systems immediately, run the discovery task as described in the “Running a Discovery Task” section
of the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/
servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.
