The Plug-In Registration Wizard prompts for the following information; organize it beforehand to save time:
- The network name of the system in which the SmartArray controller that you want to scan is installed. This is the TCP/IP network name required by the Capacity Reporter Agent to locate and communicate with that system. You might need to use a fully qualified DNS name. If you can issue a ping command from the Capacity Reporter Agent computer, then the name works.

- Host Name — Enter the network name of the system in which the SmartArray controller to be scanned is installed.
- SRM Display Name —
Enter the name of the SmartArray that you want to be displayed in Capacity Reporter reports. This name is arbitrary; it can be any name that has meaning in your enterprise storage network.

Using Capacity Reporter, you can edit the proxy system settings for a registered SmartArray RAID controller. This consists of changing the Capacity Reporter Agent computer to use for computer scans.
To edit scan proxy information:
- Launch Storage Resource Manager.
- Click the Options tab, and then click the Scans notebook.
- In the navigation pane, click select proxy. The Select Proxy page is displayed.
- Next to the RAID option, click Modify. The Modify Scan Settings for RAID page is displayed.
- In the Select a managed object list box, select the RAID
subsystem you want to modify, and make the necessary changes.
You can change the following setting:
Computer Scan Agent — Enter the name of a managed Capacity Reporter Agent computer that has the correct plug-in installed on it. If you select a Capacity Reporter 5.0.1 (or greater) Agent computer that does not have the correct plug-in installed, all computer scans for the selected SmartArray controller fail.
