Discovering Switches, Storage Systems, NAS Devices, and Tape Libraries152
• If you want to communicate with the NetApp NAS device through SSL you must set the
cimom.providers.netapp.useSSL property to true. This is a global setting and will
cause all NetApp NAS devices to communicate using SSL. For more information, see ”Enabling
SSL Communication with a NetApp NAS Device” on page 152.
• If you want the management server to be able to receive events from a NetApp NAS device,
you must add the IP address of the management server to the NetApp configuration.
• Administrative HTTP access to the device can be restricted through the httpd.access and
httpd.admin.access options. If you are restricting Administrative HTTP access, the
management server needs to be registered with the device. This is done by adding the IP
addresses of the management server to the httpd.admin.access option. For more
information, see the NetApp NAS device documentation.
