2 Discovering, registering, and adding
management targets
Managing storage resources requires them to be registered in HP StorageWorks P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite software. Registration automatically occurs after discovery.
Registering storage systems
Before you can manage a storage system's resources, you must first register the storage system.
About registering and removing a storage system
Registering a storage system in Command View AE Suite is done when it is discovered, which then
enables you to manage its storage system's resources including:
•
Parity Groups
•
LDEVs
•
Volumes
•
THP/Smart pools
•
Resources available through external storage connections
When you specify IP address (or host name) and authentication information for a storage system, the
storage system is discovered and registered based on the specified information. For Storage
Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) enabled storage systems, the SMI-S provider's IP address
is used.
You can modify information about a storage system after a storage system is registered.
If managing a storage system with Command View AE Suite is no longer necessary (for example
because of reorganization), you can remove the registered storage system. Removal results in the
following:
•
Configuration information such as parity groups, volumes, and allocated paths are retained
within the storage systems.
•
When storage systems are excluded from management by Command View AE Suite, the information
set in Command View AE Suite, such as tiers and data placement profiles, is deleted.
