nonsecure connection, prepend http:// to the discovery address to force the connection to

Unable to Discover a UNIX Host Because of DNS or Routing Issues
If the management server is unable to discover a UNIX host because of a DNS or routing issues,
you will need increase the amount of time that passes before the management server times out for
that CIM Extension. By default, the management server waits 1,000 ms before it times out. It is
recommended you increasing the time before the management server times out to 200000 ms
(3.33 minutes), as described in the following steps. If you continue to see time out issues, you can
still increase the time before the management server times out, but keep in mind that it will lengthen
discovery.
To increase the time out period:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in
the Disk Space tree.

your Web browser. If you are using Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, right-click the

cimom.cxws.agency.firstwait - The firstwait property controls the amount of time
required for the management server to wait after it first contacts the CIM Extension on the
host before the management server attempts to proceed with a username and password.
