Excluding EMC Symmetrix Storage Systems

from Force Device Manager Refresh

The management server obtains most of its information about Symmetrix storage systems from the

EMC Solutions Enabler (proxy server) it discovered. If the EMC Solutions Enabler 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latest information, the management server also displays the outdated information.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 Solutions Enabler it

discovered has the latest information. This can be done by forcing the Solutions Enabler 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 EMC Solutions Enabler (proxy server), unless specified. If you do not want an EMC

Solutions Enabler to be refreshed, you must assign the Symmetrix storage systems that use the

Solutions Enabler to the cimom.emc.skipRefresh property, as described in the steps in this

section.
To exclude EMC Symmetrix storage systems from a forced refresh:

1.

Select Options >Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health > Advanced.

2.

Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.

3.

Copy the following command. How you copy the text depends on your Web browser. If you

are using Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, select the text and then right-click the

selected text. Then, select Copy.

#cimom.emc.skipRefresh=000183500570,000183500575
