HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 26)

Tasks to be completed beforehand:
• Target storage system is connected to the network.
• Fibre Channel port settings (such as topology and transfer rate) are specified in the management
tool of the storage system, such as Remote Web Console.
• Accounts to be used for Device Manager are registered in the management tool of the storage
system, such as Remote Web Console.
NOTE:
If the storage system is P9500 Disk Array set the "Administrator" user group (built-in group) for
the accounts to be registered.
• You must be sure the SMI-S provider is set (for SMI-S Enabled storage systems) before registration.
Registering a storage system
A storage system must be registered to manage it from HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View
Advanced Edition Suite. When registered, the storage system becomes a managed resource.
1. On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.
2. On the Storage Systems tab, click Add Storage System.
3. Specify registration information. This means:
• An IP address (or hostname) and authentication information (username, password) for most
supported storage systems.
• For SMI-S enabled storage systems, you will need to specify the SMI-S provider IP address,
authentication, protocol (secure, not secure) and possibly a non-default port number.
TIP:
If an SMI-S provider that manages multiple SMI-S enabled storage systems is specified, all the
SMI-S enabled storage systems under that provider are registered.
4. Click OK.
5. Check the Data Collection Tasks tab to verify that the task has completed successfully.
6. When the task completes, confirm that the storage system appears on the Storage Systems tab
of Managed Resources, or in the Storage Systems tree on the Resources tab.
The storage system is now a managed resource. This typically means volumes can be allocated to
registered hosts.
TIP:
To remove storage systems, select one or more storage systems, and click Remove Storage Systems.
Changing storage system information
You can modify the IP address or host name or login user name and password for a storage system.
You can select multiple storage systems to modify at one time, but when selecting multiple storage
systems, only the login user name and password can be modified.
