Installation Manual

Installing the Management Server on Microsoft Windows52
4. Run HP SIM discovery for the Brocade proxy server. See the chapter, “Discovering
Switches, Storage Systems, NAS Devices, and Tape Libraries.”
5. Run Discovery Data Collection. See the chapter, “Discovering Switches, Storage
Systems, NAS Devices, and Tape Libraries.”
The Brocade switches are migrated to the SMI-A provider.
Important: Before performing any provisioning operations that involve a Brocade
switch you must perform Discovery Data Collection for any subset of
elements that includes the Brocade switch.
6. If you were using discovery schedules to collect details for Brocade switches prior to
migrating them to SMI-A, add the new discovery group for the Brocade proxy server to
your pre-existing Discovery Data Collection schedules as described in the following
steps:
a. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Schedule Discovery Data Collection
in HP Systems Insight Manager.
b. Click the Edit ( ) button corresponding to the discovery schedule you want to
modify.
c. Click the Discovery Groups tab.
d. Select the Brocade proxy under the list of discovery groups.
e. Click Add Selected Groups To Schedule.
f. Click Finish.
Check any McDATA and Connectrix Switches
As mentioned earlier, by default after upgrading, the management server is configured to use the
SMI-S provider to manage and discover McDATA and Connectrix switches. The migration to SMI-S
is not required for McDATA and Connectrix switches as it is with the Brocade Fabric Access API
provider.
You must do one of the following after upgrading:
• Before you can discover McDATA and Connectrix switches with SMI-S, you must download and
install the McDATA SMI-S provider software. See the document HP StorageWorks M-Series at:
http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers
for instructions. Check this web site periodically to
verify that you are running a current version of the SMI-S provider..
• See the following section to change the default from SMI-S if you prefer not to migrate to the
SMI-S provider:
