subnet network. If you are using the host-agent method (commonly known as in-band
management), ensure that the Fibre Channel connection between the host and storage
subsystems is made.
Make sure that all of the preparation steps for setting up the storage subsystem for a
network managed system are completed. Use the Add Device option to add the IP
addresses of the storage subsystem. Add both IP addresses of the controller; otherwise,
you will get a "partially-managed device" error message when you try to manage the
storage subsystem.
Note: To use the auto-discovery method, the storage subsystem and this host must be on
the same subnet. Otherwise use the manual method to add a subsystem.
If you are using the host-agent management method, perform the following steps:
– Make sure that the SMagent is installed in the host.
– Verify that you have a Fibre Channel connection from the storage subsystems to the
host that has the SMagent installed.
– Verify that all of the preparation steps are complete, then perform the following steps:
• Run the hot_add utility.
• Restart the SMagent.
• Right-click on the host, and click Tools  Rescan in the Enterprise Management
Note: In certain situations, a storage subsystem might be duplicated in the device tree
after an automatic discovery. You can remove a duplicate storage management icon from
the device tree by using the Remove Device option in the Enterprise Management Window.
Verify that the status of each storage subsystem is Optimal. If a device shows a status of
Unresponsive, right-click the device and select Remove Device to delete it from the
management domain. Then use the Add Device option to add it to the management
domain again.
