HP MSA array information not displayed in StoreFront Module GUI

Possible cause: The SMI-S service on the array might be unresponsive.

“Refreshing StoreFront Module for vCenter data” (page 57)

.

Action 2: Restart the HP MSA array management controller.

This procedure restarts the HP MSA array controller. If you restart a management

controller, communication with it is lost until it restarts successfully . This will not affect disk access.
If the restart fails, the partner management controller remains active with full ownership of operations
and configuration information. Other applications (such as Microsoft VSS and VDS) that rely on
the management controller services might be affected.

Log in to the SMU interface of the HP MSA array as a user with Manage access. Use the
available management IP address (for example: http://Management_IP_address).
