Registering storage systems
This module describes how to register storage systems.
About registering a storage system
Registering a storage system enables you to monitor and manage storage resources, such as volumes,
parity groups, THP pools, and external storage connections.
Information about a storage system can be changed after the storage system is registered.
When you specify an IP address (SMI-S provider's IP address for SMI-S Enabled storage systems) or
host name (alias name) and authentication information for a storage system in the network, the storage
system is discovered based on the specified information. The registered storage systems can be used
as resources.
Prerequisites for registering a storage system
Registering a storage system requires collection and confirmation of storage system information.
• Target storage system is connected to the network.
• Target storage system type.
• Target storage system IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) or host name (alias name).
• User name and password of the storage system management tool such as Remote Web Console
(HP P9500, XP24000/XP20000, or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200) . If you have a different storage
system (i.e. not those just listed), then use your user name and password for Account Authentication
or Password Protection.
• Host name (alias name) or IP address for the SMI-S provider (IPv4 or IPv6), user name, password,
port number (for SMI-S Enabled storage systems).
• Protocol used for Device Manager and SMI-S provider communication (for SMI-S Enabled storage
systems).
You must be sure the SMI-S provider is set (for SMI-S Enabled storage systems) before registration.
Registering a storage system
A storage system must be registered to monitor and manage it from P9000 Command View AE Suite.
To add a storage system to the list of managed resources:
1. On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.
2. On the Storage Systems tab, click Add Storage System.
