Discovering a Single Element using the Manual Tab
IMPORTANT: When HP Storage Essentials is integrated with HP SIM, running discovery from the
Automatic tab provides the best feedback for HP Storage Essentials discovery. For instructions on
discovering elements from the Automatic tab, see ”Discovering Elements” on page 113.
You can use the Manual tab to add a single element that HP SIM has not yet discovered. If you use
this method, there is no direct feedback on the status of the HP SIM and HP Storage Essentials
operations that take place during discovery. To view HP SIM progress, however, you can check the
relevant collection in the user interface.
To discover a single element using the Manual tab:
1. Select Options > Discovery, and then click the Manual tab.
2. Enter the system name or IP address. Simple or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) host names
can be entered. However, ranges of host names are not allowed.
3. If you have not entered the WBEM credentials for this system previously, click More Settings,
and then enter the credentials in the WBEM Settings section. For information on credentials, see
”Using Credentials” on page 108.
4. Click Add System to add the system to the database.
HP SIM starts the discovery process.
To view HP Storage Essentials progress, open the HP Storage Essentials Log and click Refresh in
the next two to three minutes to view the HP Storage Essentials processing status.
5. Select Tasks & Logs > View HP Storage Essentials Log. Once the HP Storage Essentials log
shows that the element has been processed, click Details, select the element, and then click Get
Details.
Changing Credentials for Discovery
You can change the user name and password the software uses to access an element. Whenever a
user name or password changes on an element the management server monitors, the management
server must be made aware of the change.
