subnet network. If you are using the host-agent method (commonly known as in-band
management), ensure that the Fibre Channel connection between the host and storage
subsystems is made.
򐂰 Make sure that all of the preparation steps for setting up the storage subsystem for a
network managed system are completed. Use the Add Device option to add the IP
addresses of the storage subsystem. Add both IP addresses of the controller; otherwise,
you will get a "partially-managed device" error message when you try to manage the
storage subsystem.
򐂰 If you are using the host-agent management method, perform the following steps:
– Make sure that the SMagent is installed in the host.
– Verify that you have a Fibre Channel connection from the storage subsystems to the
host that has the SMagent installed.
– Verify that all of the preparation steps are complete, then perform the following steps:
• Run the hot_add utility.
• Restart the SMagent.
• Right-click on the host, and click Tools  Rescan in the Enterprise Management
Window.
򐂰 Verify that the status of each storage subsystem is Optimal. If a device shows a status of
Unresponsive, right-click the device and select Remove Device to delete it from the
management domain. Then use the Add Device option to add it to the management
domain again.
Note: To use the auto-discovery method, the storage subsystem and this host must be on
the same subnet. Otherwise use the manual method to add a subsystem.
Note: In certain situations, a storage subsystem might be duplicated in the device tree
after an automatic discovery. You can remove a duplicate storage management icon from
the device tree by using the Remove Device option in the Enterprise Management Window.
