6.5 HP StoreAll 8200/9300 Storage Administrator Guide

Discovering devices using HP SIM
IMPORTANT: If you are running StoreAll OS 6.5 or later and IRS 7.0.8, device discovery through
HP SIM is only required if you want to manage devices through HP SIM. Otherwise, you can skip
this procedure.
HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) uses the SNMP protocol to discover and identify StoreAll systems
automatically.
Discovering the Fusion Manager IP address leads to discovery of the individual devices in the
cluster (nodes, storage (MSA), and Onboard Administrator). Each device will be discovered with
the naming convention as listed in Table 3 (page 28) and Table 4 (page 28), depending on the
StoreAll version you are running.
NOTE:
• StoreAll nodes and MSA arrays are associated with the Fusion Manager IP address. You can
view this by selecting Fusion Manager→System Tab→Associations.
• For the 9730 and X9720, Onboard Administrator does not display as associated with the
Fusion Manager. This will not cause any issues in monitoring.
• You can view all StoreAll devices by selecting Systems by Type →Storage System→Scalable
Storage Solutions→All StoreAll Systems.
