Use the EMC Storage page to configure SLP Discovery and discover EMC
storage devices through EMC SMI-S Providers.
About this task
By default, a discovery job attempts to find EMC SMI-S Providers by running an SLP query to
determine their IP address and port. If SLP is not available in your network (for example, if any
security policies exist that block SLP messages), the discovery of EMC storage devices can still be
done by disabling SLP Discovery and configuring the ports that the EMC SMI-S Provider listens for
query requests.
Procedure
-
Click Enable or Disable options to enable or
disable SLP Discovery.
Note: By default, SLP discovery is enabled.
-
If you disable SLP discovery, you must set one or more EMC SMI-S Provider connection ports
-
-
EMC SMI-S HTTPS Port(s): 5989 is the default HTTPS port on which the EMC
SMI-S Provider listens for query requests. If you specify multiple ports, separate them by commas.
The EMC SMI-S listens on these ports for connection requests (such as from TSA). TSA needs to know
that port to initiate the connection.
-
EMC SMI-S HTTP Port(s): 5988 is the default HTTP port on which the EMC
SMI-S Provider listens for query requests. TSA first tries an HTTPS connection (if configured) and
if it fails, attempts to connect through HTTP ports that are defined. If you would like to avoid
HTTP connections, do not define HTTP ports. If you specify multiple HTTP ports, separate them by
commas. The EMC SMI-S listens on these ports for connection requests (such as from TSA). TSA needs
to know that port to initiate the connection.
