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
.

Acquiring the most recent storage system information

Refreshing a storage system updates and displays the latest storage system information.

1.

On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.

2.

On the Storage Systems tab, select one or more storage systems to refresh.

3.

Click Refresh Storage Systems, then click OK.

4.

Check the Data Collection Tasks tab to verify that the task completed.

Updated storage system information displays in the list of storage systems. Updated storage system
information is also displayed on the Resources tab, in the Storage Systems tree.

NOTE:

Label information for volumes and THP/Smart pools is not refreshed. To apply existing label information
from a storage system to XP7 Command View AE, click Refresh Labels. For HP XP7, refreshing labels
is unnecessary since label information from the storage system to XP7 Command View AE will always
match.
