### Before You Register This Plug-In

The Plug-In Registration Wizard prompts for the following information; organize it beforehand to save time:

- Service Processor Name - Hostname or IP address, plus IP port number, of the Service Processor for this array (Example: Array4.sun.com:7658). Note: The IP port number is typically 7658.
- SRM Display Name - Array name displayed by the Capacity Reporter software. This name must match the Identifier (Example: Array4.sun.com).
- Identifier - Name of the array, as known to the array's Service Processor (Example: Array4.sun.com).
- Proxy Server Name - Name of the Internet proxy server that the Storage Resource Manager Agent Service should use for communicating with the array using HTTP (Example: http://webcache:8080).

  Note: You must enter an Internet proxy server name, if an Internet proxy server setting is required for an Internet browser to communicate with the disk array's service processor. Otherwise, the Internet proxy server name will default to the Internet proxy server name configured for the "Log On As" account of the Capacity Reporter Agent Service (which may not be configured with an Internet proxy server). As a result, scans will fail.

- User Name - Valid StorADE application-to-application user name for the Capacity Reporter application (known as SRM to the StorADE software) to access the 6900/3900 Series Array data. The default value in the StorADE software is srm.
- Password - The password for the User Name you entered. The default value in the StorADE software is srm.

     Note: You must enter an Internet proxy server name, if an Internet proxy server setting is required for an Internet browser to communicate with the disk array's service processor. Otherwise, the Internet proxy server name will default to the Internet proxy server name configured for the "Log On As" account of the Capacity Reporter Agent Service (which may not be configured with an Internet proxy server). As a result, scans will fail.

### Editing Scan Proxy Information

Using the Capacity Reporter software, you can edit the proxy system settings for a registered array. This consists of changing the Capacity Reporter Agent computer to use for computer scans.

3. In the navigation pane, click select proxy to display the Select Proxy page.
