systems, only the login user name and password can be modified.
1. On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.
2. On the Storage Systems tab, select the storage system, or storage systems, you want to modify.
3. Click Edit Storage Systems.

About acquiring the most recent storage system information
To get current information about a target storage system, you can manually refresh the system at any
time.
When you refresh a storage system, displayed information is updated for storage resources, such as:
• Volumes
• Parity groups
• THP/Smart Pools
• External storage connections
TIP:
When data placement profiles for Smart volumes are being managed, you can specify an option in
the Refresh Storage Systems dialog box to search for inconsistencies in data placement profiles.
To update information about hosts, such as the host name, WWNs, refresh the hosts.
To update host bus adapter (HBA) WWN nicknames, refresh one or more storage systems. Refreshing
host information does not update WWN nicknames. When several WWN nicknames are assigned
to a single HBA, only one of the nicknames is displayed for that HBA.
If connected to P9000 Performance Advisor Software, users can also update performance information
that is displayed in the Mobility tab. To automatically update the storage system information, specify
proper settings in the
server.properties file or dispatcher.properties file of the
management server. For details about specifiable values, see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced
Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.
