HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) with SAN storage integration
SPM is a software tool that connects a variety of data storage needs with available storage
on a network, and securely automates management tasks spanning servers and storage.
This integration allows you to create and activate a logical server with SAN storage managed
by SPM based on pre-carved volumes. You can unmask data volumes for an activated logical
server to perform operating system provisioning on a logical server with boot and data
volumes.
To launch SPM, point your browser to
where “myservername” is
the name of your CMS or the server hosting SPM.
See

Support for new Virtual Connect features
— Flex-FC
Flex-FC is a set of features that enables Virtual Connect to configure 1 to 176 virtual
WWPNs per physical HBA port.
— Flex-FC Multiboot
Flex-FC Multiboot is a set of features that enables Virtual Connect to configure 1 to 8
Fibre Channel boot targets, configuration of physical port topology, configuration of
physical port speed, and the ability to perform selective SAN fabric assignment for each
of the WWPNs.
— Flex-10 (Bandwidth Carving)
Flex-10 support enables a single ethernet NIC on a server with Virtual Connect to be
split into four NIC (physical functions) that share 10GB of bandwidth. For example, a
Flex-10 enabled server with Virtual Connect containing a mezzanine card with two
NICs can support eight networks instead of two. The Flex-10 support requires both a
Flex-10 ethernet module in the enclosure and a Flex-10 ethernet mezzanine card on the
server with Virtual Connect.
— VLAN trunking, which allows multiple virtual networks to be transmitted over a single
network link.
— Multi-enclosure domains
— 8 Gb Fibre Channel

Static (non-movable) logical servers
Logical servers that cannot be moved are shown with a non-movable logical server icon.
Non-movable logical servers include:
— Logical servers on servers with Virtual Connect whose storage is configured to use a
local disk
— Logical servers on DL-type servers and non-HP physical servers
You can view, activate, deactivate, delete, unmanage, and power on and off a logical
server on a DL-type server and a non-HP server using OO (HP Operations Orchestration
software) workflows. (Other operations including create, import, modify, and move,
