The output from wbemdisco lists information about the CIMOM and provider, but no storage devices are
listed
Cause: Most storage device CIMOMs require additional management software. This error usually means
the management software is not configured to manage any storage devices.
Possible solutions: Consult the documentation for the management software that includes the SMI-S provider.
Complete the steps required to configure the software to manage the appropriate storage devices, and then
run wbemdisco again.
• HP EVA arrays use the Command View EVA management software. In Command View EVA, click
Discover to discover all EVAs on the SAN that are visible to the computer running Command View
EVA. By default, Command View EVA will try to manage all of the discovered arrays.
NOTE: The same EVA cannot be managed by more than one copy of Command View EVA.
• HP XP arrays use Command View XP or Command View XP Advanced Edition. Run the Command View
XP/XP Advanced Edition software and specify the XP arrays to manage.
• HP VA arrays use Command View SDM. Command View SDM typically discovers any VA array visible
on the SAN, and begins to manage it. If this is not the case, for example, if SAN connectivity is created
after the installation of the software, run the batch command armdiscover to discover your VA arrays.
• HP MSA arrays do not require additional management software. The standard management software
is called ACU, but it is not required for the SMI CIMOM/provider to work. For MSA arrays, the provider
automatically reports on any MSA visible to the host on which it is running. No configuration is needed.
• HP EMA/ESA/MA arrays with HSG80 controllers use HSG Element Manager. The software should
automatically discover any HSG80-based arrays visible on the SAN. No configuration is needed.
SNMP Agent
How do I enable or disable the Restart Agents option that is available for the SNMP Agents when using the
HP SIM Replicate Agent Settings Task?
Solution: The option must be changed from inside the HP SIM Replicate Agent Settings Task.
1. Select Configure→Replicate Agent Settings.
2. Select a target system, and click Next. See “Creating a task” for more information on selecting the
target system.
NOTE: The source system must have a trust relationship with the HP SIM Server. See “Requiring trusted
certificates” for more information.
3. Select the configure link related to system.
