Operations available to SMI-S enabled storage systems
Discovering and registering storage systems that are managed by an SMI-S provider (SMI-S enabled
storage systems) enable you to perform certain tasks.
When you register storage systems that are managed by an SMI-S provider, these SMI-S enabled
storage systems become HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite resources
on which you can perform the following tasks:
•
Register, change, delete, and update SMI-S enabled storage systems.
•
Display summary information for SMI-S enabled storage systems.
•
Operate SMI-S enabled storage systems from the SMI-S enabled storage system management tool
(launch the management tool from Element Manager).
•
Externally connect and virtualize an SMI-S enabled storage system for migrating data.
TIP:
Virtualizing an SMI-S enabled storage system without registering the system in Command View AE
Suite can also be done by using the port scan and volume discovery functionality.
You must be assigned All Resources to view or perform tasks on SMI-S enabled storage systems.
