Discovery and Identification

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) discovers the storage systems that are on the LAN and Command View storage device managers running on managed systems or devices. For internal disks, the HP SIM inventory component can identify all of the drives installed, the disk manufacturer, models, disk types, firmware revision, the internal location of the drive in the system, and the details of the controllers by which the systems are managed. For RAID drives, the RAID type (1 to 5) and manufacturer is discovered in addition to the details gathered for the internal drives. For SAN systems, HP SIM discovers the Command View servers that manage the devices on the SAN.

HP SIM displays storage systems as follows:

Internal drives. These systems must appear in the Properties pages and the inventory database as components of their respective systems.
Tape libraries. These devices are identified and included in the All Systems, All Storage Systems, and All Tape Libraries collections.
SAN. The Command View systems for these devices are identified and available from the Tools & Links tab of the System Page for the systems serving the Command View systems.


Note:


	HP SIM discovers SAN and NAS management applications and provides user access to system information on launch of those applications.
