Discover HP BladeSystem Enclosures in HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)
Although HP SIM and VCEM are installed, they have no knowledge of which enclosures to manage until
the user allows HP SIM and VCEM to discover these systems either by IP or DNS names.
In order for VCEM to work, it needs to verify the individual VC domains and import them into its database.
Please remember VCEM is based on HP SIM. SIM provides security, logging, discovery, licensing, event
framework, etc. for plug-ins like VCEM. VCEM will leverage HP SIM to do the basic enclosure discovery
so it can see VC domains after the discovery.
So let’s do a HP SIM discovery now.
