HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 21)

Before setting each resource, check the system prerequisites in the Release Notes, and check the
settings requirements for the corresponding system configuration described in the HP P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.
Configure the prerequisite environment based on requirements. For example, set software licenses by
using Remote Web Console or other storage management tools, or configure a network based on
the system configuration.
If Device Manager is set up in an environment that has already been configured using Remote Web
Console, and if you want to use volume labels THP/Smart pool names from a storage system in Device
Manager, register the storage system in Device Manager, and then apply the storage system labels
to Device Manager.
This diagram describes the basic task flow for setting up storage resources.
Setting up users and access control
After users are registered, you can limit the scope of allowed operations for each user by configuring
access control settings for users and storage resources.
To set access control you will need to create resource and user groups and then assign the resource
groups and roles to the user groups.
Creating a storage operating environment
To be able to use volumes of a storage system from hosts configure the operating environment
beforehand. The workflow for configuring the environment differs depending on the scale and operation
method of the storage systems.
In some environments, you can virtualize storage devices so that multiple, different storage systems
can be used as a single storage system.
If your storage system supports THP/Smart pools, you can create THP/Smart pools such that virtual
volumes can be allocated to hosts. By virtualizing storage devices and storage capacity, you can
decrease both management and operational costs by more effectively using physical resources.
