Configuring the IBM Flex System FC5022 16Gb SAN Switch - IBM Flex System Manager management software

Setting SNMP credentials for the Flex System FC5022 16Gb SAN Switch
Before you can use the SMIA Configuration Tool to discover a Flex System FC5022 16Gb SAN Switch, an SNMPv3 credential with write authority must be configured for the switch.

Discovering a Flex System FC5022 16Gb SAN switch with the SMIA Configuration Tool
For VMControl and Storage Control to work with the FC5022 16Gb SAN switch, you must start the SMIA Configuration Tool application so that the management software can access the required SMI-S agent for the FC5022 switch. You can also use this information to add a System Storage® SAN24B-4 Express® switch as a top-of-rack Fibre Channel switch in your environment.

Discovering a Flex System FC5022 16 Gb SAN switch with the management software
Before you can integrate and manage an FC5022 16 Gb SAN switch with the management software in an IBM Flex System environment, the FC5022 switch must be discovered and inventoried by the IBM Flex System Manager management software.

Changing the SMIA Configuration Tool user ID and password
The SMIA Configuration Tool application provides the SMI-S agent that is required by the Flex System FC5022 16Gb SAN switch. SMIA comes preinstalled with the management software, and is configured to use the management software system user ID and password that were set during the initial setup of the management node. Use this information to change the SMIA user ID and password after the initial management node setup.

Troubleshooting the SMIA Configuration Tool
If you are unable to launch the tool, or if you cannot complete a fabric discovery of a switch because you receive a 403 authentication failure message, use this information to solve the problem.
