• You must be sure the SMI-S provider is set (for SMI-S Enabled storage systems) before registration.
Registering a storage system
A storage system must be registered in order to monitor and manage it from HP StorageWorks P9000
Command View Advanced Edition Suite. To register a storage system, you must add it to the list of
managed resources.
1. On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.
2. On the Storage Systems tab, click Add Storage System.
3. Specify the appropriate information.
4. Click OK.
5. Check the Data Collection Tasks tab to verify that the task has completed successfully.
6. When the task completes, confirm that the storage system appears on the Storage Systems tab
of Managed Resources.
Or, you can confirm that the storage system name appears in the Storage Systems tree on the
Resources tab.
If an SMI-S provider that manages multiple SMI-S Enabled storage systems is specified, all the SMI-S
Enabled storage systems under that provider are registered.
Changing storage system information
You can modify the IP address or host name or login user name and password for a storage system.
You can select multiple storage systems to modify at one time, but when selecting multiple storage
systems, only the login user name and password can be modified.
1. On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.
2. On the Storage Systems tab, select the storage system, or storage systems, you want to modify.
3. Click Edit Storage Systems.
4. Specify the appropriate items and click OK.
5. Check the Data Collection Tasks tab to verify that the task has completed successfully.
6. Confirm that the information in the storage system list is updated.
About acquiring the most recent storage system information
To get current information about a target storage system, you can manually refresh the system at any
time.
When you refresh a storage system, the following displayed information is updated:
• Volumes
• Parity groups
• THP/Smart Pools
• External storage connections
TIP:
When data placement profiles for Smart volumes are being managed, you can specify an option in
the Refresh Storage Systems dialog box to search for inconsistencies in data placement profiles.
