Setting the storage system discovery intervals

This section describes how to set the storage system discovery intervals.

Procedure

The default interval for the discovery of DS8000® storage systems is 20 minutes. The default interval for the discovery of all other IBM® storage systems is 10 minutes.

To change the IBM storage system discovery interval in Microsoft SCOM 2007:

  1. Click the Microsoft SCOM Authoring pane.
  2. Select Rules, and then select IncrementalDiscoveryRule for the relevant management pack.

  4. Select Override for Interval Seconds, and then enter a new numerical Override Value. The numerical value that you enter defines the number of seconds for the interval.
  5. Click Apply. The new discovery interval is set.
