Multiple San Discovery; Add Device - Compaq Armada 6500 Hardware And Software Manual

Multiple SAN Discovery

The HMU SAN Manager can manage more than one SAN at a time. To
accomplish this, perform discovery on each network's proxy master.
If there is a previously defined proxy master when another network's proxy
master is added, they will appear as independent networks on the SAN View
tab pages. Each proxy master can be easily identified, since each displays its
IP address. This becomes very convenient when monitoring more than SAN.
Each of the proxy masters can be removed, along with its entire network while
still leaving the other networks intact.
In addition, several parameters can be set for all networks in a global manner
using the File Menu.

Add Device

The hubs and switches automatically discover valid FC devices attached to a
port. Furthermore, if traffic has been transferred between two FC devices, then
the AL_PAs of the device will be trapped and displayed. This screen allows
the user to enter additional information about the FC devices discovered in the
SAN. By doing this, the device will be displayed in the Device View as well
as other displays.
4. Begin with the Context Menu to attach an additional information about
a device. Place the cursor directly over the hub to which you want to
attach the unmanaged device. (Please note that you must be careful to
select the correct managed device). Next, right-click the mouse to
display the Context Menu. Select Add Device. The Add Device dialog
box, shown in the figure below, is displayed.
