Discovery and identification
HP SIM discovers storage systems on the LAN and Command View storage device managers running on
managed systems or devices. For internal disks, the HP SIM inventory component can identify all drives
installed, disk manufacturer, models, disk types, firmware revision, internal location of the drive in the system,
and details about the controllers that manage the systems. For RAID drives, the RAID type (1 to 5) and
manufacturer are discovered in addition to the details gathered for the internal drives. For SAN systems, HP
SIM discovers the Command View servers that manage the SAN devices.
HP SIM displays storage systems as follows:
• Internal drives These systems must appear in the Properties pages and the inventory database as
components of their respective systems.
• Tape libraries These devices are identified and included in the All Systems, All Storage Systems,
and All Tape Libraries collections.
• SAN The Command View systems for these devices are identified and available from the Tools &
Links tab of the System Page for the systems serving the Command View systems.
NOTE: HP SIM discovers SAN and NAS management applications and provides user access to system
information when those applications are started.
