Add a Discovery Target Portal Not in the List

You can add the target portal of a Storage array or array group even if it is not in the HPE Storage Connection Manager list. You can also specify the initiator you want to use to discovery the target.

  1. In the HPE Storage Connection Manager GUI, click the System Settings tab.
  2. Click Add… and then click Advanced to expand the dialog box.
  3. In the Discovery IP Address field, enter a valid IP address for an array or array group.

    By default the box displays the address of the array currently highlighted in dialog box.

    If you manually enter an IP address that matches one in the Discovery IP Address list, HPE Storage Connection Manager highlights the one in the list and scrolls to it so you can see it.

    If the address is invalid, HPE Storage Connection Manager displays the IP address using red text.

  4. From the drop-down list, select the initiator you want to use to discover the target.
  5. Click OK.
    NOTE: If the IP address you entered is not valid, the OK is grayed out.
    The array group and Discovery IP address now appear in the list.

    If this is a release 2.x array or later, the group name may start out as Unknown, but it will change to the group name.

    If this is a release 1.x array, the group name is always Unknown.

  6. Highlight the array group in the list and click OK.

    The Storage array group and its Discovery IP address appear in the Discovery IP list.

    The online volumes on the Storage array group appear in the Discovered Volumes list on the Volumes tab.
