HP SIM requires that Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled for the SMI-S provider in order to discover and manage the storage system that the provider supports. Verify that SSL is enabled for each SMI-S provider.
This represents HP SIM’s default global setting for SSL; however, you can modify this setting so that SSL is disabled. When this global setting is set to disabled, all SMI-S providers must be configured to have SSL disabled.

|
 | NOTE: This is a global setting for HP SIM. All SMI-S providers must be configured to match the global setting. If a provider does not match this setting, the storage system it supports will not be discovered or managed by HP SIM. |

Configuring SMI-S providers |
|
Occasionally, it might be necessary to modify an SMI-S provider’s port number or password. Use the provider’s documentation to perform these modifications.
For example, if two SMI-S providers are installed on the same host but they do not share the same CIMOM, then you must configure the providers to use different ports to communicate with the CMS. The CIMOM is the part of the SMI-S provider that communicates with the CMS.
Configuring HP SIM to discover storage systems |
|
After verifying that each storage system’s SMI-S provider is installed and configured, configure HP SIM to discover the storage systems.
Enter the user name and password for each provider’s SMI CIMOM in the Default WBEM settings section on the “Setting Global Protocol’s page.
Add each SMI CIMOM IP address to the System Automatic Discovery task or to the Creating a New Discovery task. Refer to the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information.
HP SIM discovers the storage systems after the next automatic discovery task. If you want to discover your storage systems immediately, run the discovery task as described in the “Running a Discovery Task” section of the the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.
