Discover Storage Systems

To discover storage devices and relationships, run a Network Profile manually. When the discovery is complete, view the results to verify that the profile discovered the expected devices. When you are satisfied with the results, schedule the profile to run at regular intervals.

Follow these steps:

1. In the CA Configuration Automation Server UI, navigate to the Network Profiles table:
   1. Click the Management panel.
   2. Click the Network tab.
   3. Click the Network Profiles link.
2. In the Network Profiles table, click the check box next to one or more profiles to run.

   Note: Network Profiles used to discover storage devices and relationships must use a Network Scan Policy that has the Discover SAN Infrastructure and Relationships check box selected. The policy that is assigned to the Network Profile appears in the Network Scan Policy column. The predefined policies that are configured for storage discovery use the - SAN naming convention.

3. Select Run Profiles from the Select Actions drop-down list.

   The Network Policy runs and the results appear in the locations described in the next three sections.
