For device management using this software, it is necessary to first conduct a device search and then display the devices to be managed on an GUI window. There are two methods for conducting a device search.
Icons indicating detected devices are placed in the undefined state, and these device icons are displayed in violet. Once a device is detected, its icon is recorded as undefined in the database. To delete this icon, delete the corresponding device.
Information
The following devices are added automatically when devices is detected.
SMI-S device (ETERNUS VS900 model 200, etc)
ESC Agent, SSC Agent
The VM host and VM guest on the following environment.
VMware Infrastructure 3 Version 3.5 or later
VMware vSphere 4 or later
VMware ESXi 3.5 or later
When detecting devices, the ESC and SSC agent automatically adds the device.
For the device in SAN catagory which is classified as SAN device, it may not be displayed in domain view after executing device search. To display the device, choose the device type from tree or SAN category.
On the tree, select main view item or the base domain in the storage category and then select [File] - [Detect SAN devices] - [Detect device in subnet]. Either of these operations displays the icons of those devices that are supported by Manager and that are subject to the automatic detection function. SNMP-based broadcast processing is performed internally, and the icons of the devices supported by this software are automatically displayed. The automatic device detection function can be used for other subnets as well, by the changing of the definition file. (For details, see "Appendix C Customization".) However, note that this function is supported only in those environments where broadcast transmission passes through other subnets.
Note
When [View] - [Change] and [List View] is selected, device search from the physical resource view cannot be performed.
If [Detect device in subnet] does not work, make a check as follows:
For devices that do not support [Detect device in subnet] as described in "1.3.7 Support levels," use the method described below "Detecting a device by specifying IP address".
For each device, check the SNMP communication settings. If the SNMP Community name on the device side has been changed, also change the settings of this software accordingly (see "Appendix C Customization".)
"Detect device in subnet" fails when IP address on the Slave CM side is set with ETERNUS. Please refer to "D.4.10 No detection of device in the subnet is possible" for the coping process.
To detect ESC Agent or SSC Agent
Select main view item or the base domain in the server category on the tree, and then select [File] - [Register] - [Register a server]. Alternatively, right-click anywhere in the map view, and select [Register] - [Register a server] from the pop-up menu displayed. When the device search window is displayed as shown below, enter an IP address, such as "10.10.10.10", and click the <OK> button.
To detect the VM host and VM guest (VMware Infrastructure 3 Version 3.5 or later, VMware vSphere 4 or later, VMware ESXi 3.5 or later)
Select main view item or the base domain in the server category on the tree, and then select [File] - [Register] - [Register a server]. Alternatively, right-click anywhere in the map view, and select [Register] - [Register a server] from the pop-up menu displayed. Then, select [Option >>] in the displayed window.
When the following window is displayed, enter an IP address of the VM host, such as "10.10.10.10". Then, enter the user name and password used to login the VM host, and click the <OK> button.
Information
By registering a VM host, all of the VM guests on the VM host are automatically registered.
For VM guest that is set up after registering VM host, select an icon of VM host including its VM guest in Main view and register it. Registering method is as follows:
(1) Select Main view from tree, or select Base domain in the Server category
(2) Select [File] - [Register] - [Register virtual machines] or select [Register] - [Register virtual machines] from the pop-up menu displayed by right-clicking anywhere in the map view.
Note
To register a VM host (and its VM guests) with this software, the IP address, login name and password of the VM host are required.
It is not possible to register VM guests by specifying them individually.
To detect any device other than above devices
Select main view item or the base domain in the storage category on the tree, and then select [File] - [Detect SAN devices] - [Detect by IP address]. Alternatively, right-click anywhere in the map view, and select [Detect SAN devices] - [Detect by IP address] from the pop-up menu displayed. When the device search window is displayed as shown below, enter an IP address, such as "10.10.10.10", and click the <OK> button.
This function is used to search for devices except SMI-S device. Enter an IP address (such as "10.10.10.10") and click the <OK> button.
This function is used to search for SMI-S device.
For detection of a SMI-S Switch device (Searching for ETERNUS VS900 model 200), from the pull-down menu, select "SMIS Switches", enter the following information, and then click the <OK> button.
Input information | Description |
|---|---|
IP address information | Enter the IP address (such as "10.10.10.10") of the administrative server on which SMI Agent is installed to manage the ETERNUS VS900 model 200. When the cluster system uses SMI Agent, specify the cluster-inherited IP address. |
NameSpace | This is name space information used to access SMI Agent. Enter "root/brocade1". |
Login account | Enter an account name with which you can log in to the administrative server on which SMI Agent is installed. This is not an account name used to log in to a switch device. |
Login password | Enter a password with which you can log in to the administrative server on which SMI Agent is installed. This is not a password used to log in to a switch device. |
Port Number | Enter the port number of SMI Agent. |
Devices that are successfully detected are automatically added. If this automatic addition fails, said devices must be added manually. For details of how to add devices, see "5.2.2 Adding a device (changing from the violet icon state to the registered state)".
When asked for a user name and a password, enter the Login account and Login password indicated above.
Note
If such a search for a product in the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90, ETERNUS DX400 series, ETERNUS DX8000 series, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS3000, ETERNUS6000 or ETERNUS GR series fails, check the following items:
The SNMP environment has not been set up from ETERNUSmgr/GRmgr since installation of the device:
The SNMP agent of the device is not active. Set up the SNMP environment as instructed in "4.3.1 Disk array ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90, ETERNUS DX400 series, ETERNUS DX8000 series, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS3000, ETERNUS6000, ETERNUS GR series, ETERNUS VD800".
In the case of ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90
For the device detection, specify the IP address on the Master CM side. If the IP address on the CM slave side was specified for detection when the device was registered, access path settings and settings in Storage Volume Configuration Navigator are not possible.
In the case of ETERNUS GR740/GR820/GR840:
Check whether the GRG (GR Gateway) is running on the maintenance PC. If not, register GRG.exe from the Windows start menu, and activate it.
If such a search for ESC or SSC Agent fails, check the following items:
Check whether ESC or SSC Agent is activated. If not, activate ESC or SSC Agent.
Check the binding of the storage affinity. If the storage affinity is set to the WWNN, PID, or TID binding, set the storage affinity to the WWPN binding.
