Operations available to SMI-S enabled storage systems
Discovering and registering storage systems that are managed by an SMI-S provider (SMI-S enabled
storage systems) enable you to perform certain tasks.
When you register storage systems that are managed by an SMI-S provider, these SMI-S enabled
storage systems become HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite resources
on which you can perform the following tasks:
•
Register, change, delete, and update SMI-S enabled storage systems.
•
Display summary information for SMI-S enabled storage systems.
•
Operate SMI-S enabled storage systems from the SMI-S enabled storage system management tool
(launch the management tool from Element Manager).
•
Connect or disconnect as external storage systems (by using CLI commands).
You must be assigned All Resources to view or perform tasks on SMI-S enabled storage systems.
For information about using CLI commands, see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition
Suite Software CLI Reference Guide.

Registering hosts
You can register hosts as managed resources using Device Manager so that storage system volumes
can be used by hosts and their applications.
About registering a host
Discover and register hosts to manage them in HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced
Edition Suite software.
The following host types can be added to Command View AE Suite:
•
Normal hosts (an open host that is not virtualized)
•
Virtualization servers (a physical server on which virtualization software is installed)
•
Virtual machines (a machine that is created on the virtualization server and uses virtualization
software)
Depending on the purpose, there are multiple methods for discovering and adding hosts, including
manually, by using Host Data Collector (agent-less discovery), or by using a Device Manager agent.
For host prerequisites and environment settings, see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition
Suite Software Administrator Guide.
