SAN Switch Configuration
System Requirements
l WEBES is required on the CMS for FC Switch support. Because you must install WEBES on the CMS
before you can complete the San Switch configurations, revisit this chapter after you fully configure
your CMS.
l All managed systems must be configured to send SNMP v1 traps to the CMS.
l Switches may also need to be configured to allow SNMP communications between the CMS and the
switch.
l DCFM must be in the environment for McData FC switch events to be forwarded to the CMS.
Managed System Configuration Details
Each FC switch must be discovered and recognized by HP SIM on the CMS.
Be careful to:
l Verify every FC switch in the customer environment is recognized by HP SIM. Do not forget to
configure the switch application to send traps to the CMS.
l Verify the correct product number and serial number for the switches has been captured by HP SIM.
l Modify any incorrect or missing contract identifiers and customer contact details in HP SIM.
l Verify the most appropriate system type is selected for the managed system.
Note: Incidents are not raised for switches unless they are recognized by HP SIM.
