This topic describes how to change discovery preferences for SMI-S
storage devices.
Complete the following steps to set discovery preferences for SMI-S
storage devices:
- In IBM Director Console,
click .
- In the Discovery Preferences window on the SMI-S Storage Devices
page, select the preferences that you want IBM Director to
use.
- In the Auto-discover period (hours) field,
select the frequency with which IBM Director Server attempts
to discover SMI-S storage devices automatically. The possible range is one
to 168 hours (seven days). By default, autodiscovery is disabled.
- In the Presence Check period (minutes) field,
select the frequency that IBM Director Server checks
the status of each SMI-S storage device. A presence check detects whether
a storage device is online or offline. The possible range is one to 240 minutes
(four hours); this feature also can be disabled. By default, a presence check
is set to occur every 15 minutes.
- Under Service Location Protocol (SLP) Profiles,
select the SLP profiles that IBM Director Server will
discover. To restore the original default parameters, select the Reset
to default value check box.
- Under Naming Conventions Template for SMI-S Devices,
add the parameters to include in the Template Name by
selecting a parameter in the Available Parameters column,
and then clicking Add to place it in the Selected
Parameters column. To remove a parameter from the template name,
select a parameter in the Selected Parameters column,
and then click Remove. To restore the original default
parameters, select the Reset to default value check
box.
- To save your selections, click OK.
