Discovering Devices and Applications

46 Storage Management Appliance Software User Guide

About Discoveries

The Storage Management Appliance uses a discovery process to identify devices

and applications operating in your storage network environment. You can create

any number of discovery processes, and each process can have a different set of

parameters. Each process is referred to as a discovery.

You can schedule a discovery to run at regular intervals or to run only on demand,

which means you must start the process manually.

To find all devices in your Storage Area Network (SAN) you must use two

discovery types—IP discoveries and SAN discoveries.

IP Discoveries

The Storage Management Appliance is connected to your organization’s LAN via

a Network Interface Card and an Ethernet cable. You can define any number of IP

discoveries that query SNMP agents at specified IP addresses. An IP discovery

can identify any device connected to the LAN with an enabled SNMP agent. Such

devices include host computers and Fibre Channel switches.

IP discoveries also identify any Storage Management Appliances connected to

your storage network.

Note: Not all devices identified by an IP discovery generate events supported by the

Storage Management Appliance. See Chapter 5 “Monitoring the SAN” on page 55

for more information.
