Configuring HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite
In the graphic below, configuring a browser means setting up the browser environment to correctly
display and run HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite. If you have issues,
check your browser setup.
After you set up the browser environment, you can log in.
If storage administration is to be shared, investigate the topic on managing users.
Setting up storage resources
Collectively, storage systems and hosts are called storage resources. For storage resources to be
managed by Command View AE Suite, they must be registered.
Registration of storage resources requires the resource to be reachable on the network by IP address.
After you register storage and host resources, you can begin allocating volumes to hosts.
Before setting each resource, check the system prerequisites, and check 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.
