The refresh scope of Device Manager is the domain controllers that contain the storage domain that is the
refresh target of Tiered Storage Manager.

For details on performing a refresh to synchronize information in the storage systems with the repository
for Device Manager, see 1.6.4 Refreshing Device Manager Repositories.

Performing a refresh to synchronize the repository for Device Manager with the repository for Tiered Storage
Manager

This refresh synchronizes the storage subsystem configurations held by Device Manager with the storage
subsystem configurations held by Tiered Storage Manager.

This refresh is executed when a storage subsystem configuration (such as an LDEV configuration) is
changed in Device Manager or Remote Web Console. The refresh scope is the migration target storage
domain.

The refresh is the Refresh displayed in the method frame (Web client) or a refresh executed by the
Refresh command (CLI client).

Performing a refresh to synchronize the repository for Tiered Storage Manager with the Command View XP AE
Suite Common Component repository

This refresh synchronizes the storage domain and storage tier objects held by Tiered Storage Manager
with the Tiered Storage Manager objects (for tree display) held in the Command View XP AE Suite
Common Component repository.

A refresh is automatically executed when the Tiered Storage Manager server starts. When the Tiered
Storage Manager server is abnormally terminated during update processing of the repository for
Command View XP AE Suite Common Component, all storage domains in Tiered Storage Manager are
refreshed.

Performing a refresh to synchronize the HiCommand common repository and the browser

This refresh synchronizes the Tiered Storage Manager objects (for tree display) held in the Command
View XP AE Suite Common Component repository with the tree displayed by the browser.

Execute this refresh by choosing Refresh in the menu bar frame. The refresh scope is the added storage
domain.

1-7-4 Refresh Status Information

When you have created or deleted a storage domain, Tiered Storage Manager automatically refreshes
information. At this time, there are four possible refresh statuses:

Status in which a refresh has not been performed: Indicates the status immediately after creating a
storage domain (before performing a refresh). After creating a storage domain, Tiered Storage Manager
automatically performs a refresh. If the automatic refresh fails, perform another refresh.

Normal status (refresh-successful status): Indicates that the refresh was successful and that the
repository and cache are normal.

Refresh in progress status: Indicates that a refresh is being performed.

Cache abnormal status (refresh-failed status): Indicates that the refresh failed due to an error and that the
status of the repository or cache is abnormal.

1-7-5 Using Refresh to Detect Inconsistencies

If an error occurs in the network or storage device when a migration task is created, performed, or cancelled,
the following three types of information may become inconsistent:

Information within the storage subsystems

The repository for Device Manager

The repository for Tiered Storage Manager

You can detect these inconsistencies, by refreshing the information after migration finishes (the status of the
migration task is Success, Failure, or Cancel.). If you try to refresh Tiered Storage Manager while the
repository is inconsistent, a message asking whether you want to refresh Device Manager is displayed. Click
OK if you want to refresh Tiered Storage Manager and Device Manager.
