Using friendly names
You can associate the WWNs of objects, such as storage systems, virtual disks, and hosts, with
more readable identifiers , as seen in the HP P6000 Command View GUI, called friendly names.
For example, you can identify a storage system that is known by its WWN of
5000-1FE1-5000-A9F0 as RSG14HSV1. You can extract this information from HP P6000 Command
View and use it in HP P6000 Performance Data Collector.
Object names cannot be duplicated anywhere in the same root branch of the Navigation Tree.
For example, if you name a virtual disk mydisk001, there cannot be any other object, regardless
of type, named mydisk001 in the same root branch.
Creating the friendly names host file
To create the friendly names host file, you will need the account user name and password that was
created for you during installation of HP P6000 Command View.
Complete the following procedure:
1.
Launch HP P6000 Performance Data Collector from the desktop icon.
2. Enter the following command:
evaperf fnh [hostname] [username]
where:
•
hostname is the name of the management server running HP P6000 Command View.
•
username is the account user name that was created during HP P6000 Command View
installation.
3. When prompted for a password, enter the account password that was created during HP
P6000 Command View installation.
HP P6000 Performance Data Collector verifies that it can access HP P6000 Command View
before adding the information to the fnamehosts.conf file.
If you enter the fnh command without parameters, a list of known management servers running
HP P6000 Command View appears.
Adding friendly names
To load friendly names from the management servers listed in the fnh command:
1.
Launch HP P6000 Performance Data Collector through the desktop icon.
