Starting Simple SAN Connection Manager

Follow these steps to start Simple SAN Connection Manager. You will need to perform some of these steps

only the first time you start the application.
To start Simple SAN Connection Manager:

1.

To launch the application, choose one of the following options:
• Click Start, point to All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection

Manager, and then click HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager.

If this is the first time you have launched this software for a new, uninitialized EVA subsystem or an

unconfigured MSA subsystem, the installer prompts you to configure it.

2.

Choose one of the following options:
• Click Yes to configure the subsystem using the Storage Deployment wizard (see

“Configuring a

storage subsystem”

on page 121).

• Depending on the type of subsystem you have, click No to either:

• Initialize an EVA subsystem. Continue with

step 3

.

• Ignore initialization of an MSA subsystem; it is not required. Skip to

step 4

If this is not the first time you have launched this software, or if your storage subsystem is HP EVA and

you chose No in

step 2

, the Initialize an EVA Storage Subsystem dialog box (

Figure 11

) opens.

If this is not the first time you have launched this software, or if your storage subsystem is HP MSA and

you chose No in

step 2

, go to

step 4

.

NOTE:

If the software detects that another server is managing your EVA storage array, a message

box asks if you want to disable that server and take over management of the EVA from this server.

Click Yes to proceed.
