Connection Settings

Use the Connection Settings page to configure the SLP Discovery and discover EMC storage devices through EMC SMI-S Providers.

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, 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.

SLP Discovery
Select Enable or Disable options to enable or disable SLP Discovery.
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.
EMC SMI-S HTTP Port(s):
5988 is the default HTTP port on which the EMC SMI-S Provider listens for query requests. The Technical Support Appliance first tries the HTTPS connection and if it fails, the Technical Support Appliance attempts to connect through HTTP ports that are defined.
