6. Make sure the property is not commented out by removing the hash (#) symbol in front of the
property. Add the serial numbers corresponding to the Symmetrix storage systems you want the
refresh to skip. Separate additional serial numbers with a comma, as shown by the following
example:
cimom.emc.skipRefresh=000183500570,000183500575
where 000183500570 and 000183500575 are serial numbers for Symmetrix storage systems.
One of the ways to find the serial number is to double-click the storage system in System
Manager. Then, click the Properties tab.

AppStorManager service must be running for the management server to monitor elements.

Details/Discovery Data Collection page.

Excluding HDS Storage Systems from Force Device Manager Refresh
The management server obtains most of its information about the HDS storage systems from the
HiCommand Device Manager (proxy server) it discovered. If HiCommand Device Manager, does
not have the latest information, the management server also displays the outdated information.
To make the management server aware of any changes, make sure the HiCommand Device
Manager it discovered has the latest information. This can be done by forcing the HiCommand
Device Manager to refresh its data. The management server is then made aware of these changes.
When the Force Device Manager Refresh option is selected, the management server refreshes
discovered HiCommand Device Manager (proxy server), unless specified. If you do not want a
HiCommand Device Manager to be refreshed, you must assign the HDS storage systems that use
HiCommand Device Manager to the cimom.HdsSkipRefresh property, as described in the
steps in this section.
IMPORTANT: Before performing any provisioning operations, you should perform a forced refresh.
To exclude HDS storage systems from a forced refresh:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in
the Disk Space tree.
2. Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
