Configuring Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM)

HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) is a software tool that provides a service-centric
management interface to storage, allowing storage requests to be fulfilled with available storage
services from a storage catalog.

SPM is automatically installed as part of Insight Dynamics. Before you can use SPM:

The MSA SMI-S Proxy Provider must be installed and configured, and attached to at least
one MSA.

An EVA must be installed and attached to SPM, and configured to use Command View
(CV).

SPM can also be connected to storage arrays that are managed by HP Insight Orchestration
(HPIO), and to unmanaged storage arrays.

To start SPM, open an internet browser to

https://servername:8001

, where “servername” is the

name of your CMS or the name of the server hosting SPM. The online help for SPM is available
at

https://servername:8001/help/index.html

.

The security certificate for data encryption is generated by SPM at runtime; therefore it is not
signed by a Certificate Authority. The first time you access SPM, the browser displays a warning
that SPM can not be proven to be a trusted site. Follow the instructions on the warning to allow
access in order to launch SPM. The warning will not display again.

See

“Storage Provisioning Manager” (page 62)

and

“Setting up SPM for use with logical server

storage” (page 63)

for more information.

LSMUTIL database utility

LSMUTIL is a script that you can run from the command line or from a DOS bat file. LSMUTIL
reads information from the logical servers tables in the VSE database. Based on the option you
select, the script looks up information in the tables, or performs basic database operations.

NOTE:

You can use the LSMUTIL to configure a logical server to use local disks, and to configure

non-Virtual Connect servers. For more information, see the following white papers at

www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs

The LSMUTIL command line is:

lsmutil --option

suboption > filename

LSMUTIL example

lsmutil --list
