Note:
The Automatic Discovery option and the Rescan option provide automatic mechanisms for discovering hosts and managed storage subsystems.Keep these guidelines in mind before you add a host:
Important:
Using the \ (backslash) character in a storage subsystem name can cause problems on some operating systems.One of these results occurs.
Condition | Result |
---|---|
The storage subsystem was successfully accessed. |
The storage subsystem is added to the Tree view and the Table view. Also, the Connecting dialog closes, and the Add Storage Subsystem dialog appears again with a confirmation that the storage subsystem was added. Note – If the storage subsystem is managed directly, you must add the second controller. |
The storage subsystem was not accessed because of an unresolved host name. | The Connection Error dialog appears. To return to the Add Storage Subsystem dialog, click OK. |
The storage subsystem was not accessed because of an unsuccessful connection to the name or the IP address of a controller in the storage subsystem or an unsuccessful connection to a host. |
The Connection Problem dialog appears. Click Yes to add the storage subsystem to the Tree view as an and to close the dialog. If you add the storage subsystem as an unidentified node, the storage management software retries the connection to this storage subsystem. If a connection is made to this storage subsystem that allows it to be identified, the node changes to either a host or a storage subsystem node, whichever is applicable. |
Important:
If a Partially Managed Storage Subsystems dialog appears after you have clicked Close in the Add Storage Subsystems dialog, one or more of the storage subsystems that you added is only . That is, only one controller in a storage subsystem has been defined or, in an out-of-band storage subsystem, only one controller can be contacted. This dialog provides you with information to assist you in determining what storage subsystems still need to be defined. To view the Partially Managed Storage Subsystems dialog, select View >> Partially Managed Storage Subsystems . If connecting through a host, you might be able to find the host name by using the show controller command in the Script Engine.
