TIP:
When data placement profiles for Smart volumes are being managed, you can specify an option in
the Refresh Storage Systems dialog box to search for inconsistencies in data placement profiles.
To update information about hosts, such as the host name, WWNs, refresh the hosts.
To update host bus adapter (HBA) WWN nicknames, refresh one or more storage systems. Refreshing
host information does not update WWN nicknames. When several WWN nicknames are assigned
to a single HBA, only one of the nicknames is displayed for that HBA.
If connected to HP XP7 Performance Advisor, users can also update performance information that is
displayed in the Mobility tab. To automatically update the storage system information, specify proper
settings in the
server.properties
file or
dispatcher.properties
file of the management
server. For details about specifiable values, see the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition
Administrator Guide.
