Installation Manual

HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 Installation Guide 399
By default, the management server gives a switch five seconds to respond to its requests for
information during Discovery Data Collection. If the switch does not respond the first time, the
management server tries again. If it does not receive a response from the switch a second time, the
management server says it cannot contact the switch.
To change the time-out period and number of retries for switches, modify the properties as
described in the following steps:
1. Access the management server.
2. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health, and then click Advanced in the
Disk Space tree.
3. Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
4. Copy the commands specified in Table 28 on page 399.
5. Return to the Advanced page.
6. Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties box.
7. Make sure the property is not commented out by removing the hash (#) symbol in front of the
property.
8. To modify the time-out period, set the corresponding property for your switch in the following
table to the number of millisecond you want. The default is 5000 ms. For example, to change
the time-out period to 30000 ms for a McDATA switch, you would set the
cimom.McData.Snmp.Timeout property to 30000, as shown in the following example:
cimom.McData.Snmp.Timeout=30000
1. To modify the number of retries, repeat steps 4 through 6 by copying and pasting the property
specified in the table below. Set the corresponding property for your switch in the following
table to the number of retries you want. The default is two retries. For example, to change the
number of retries to five for a McDATA switch, set the cimom.McData.Snmp.Retries
properties as shown in the following example:
cimom.McData.Snmp.Retries=5
