Setting up storage resources

Collectively, storage systems and hosts are called storage resources. For storage resources to be
managed by Command View AE Suite, they must first be discovered or registered.

Registering storage resources requires each resource to be reachable on the network by its IP address.
After storage and host resources are registered, you can begin allocating volumes to hosts.

Before setting each resource, check the system prerequisites, and check settings requirements for the
corresponding system configuration described in the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition
Suite Software Administrator Guide
.

Configure the prerequisite environment based on requirements. For example, set software licenses by
using Remote Web Console or other storage management tools, or configure a network based on
the system configuration.

If Device Manager is set up in an environment that has already been configured using Remote Web
Console, and if you want to use volume labels THP/Smart pool names from a storage system in Device
Manager, register the storage system in Device Manager, and then apply the storage system labels
to Device Manager.

The following figure describes the basic task flow for setting up storage resources.
